IMPORTANT

DO NOT use the SSVC-2/4/6 with amps or receivers rated at more than 100 watts per chan- nel RMS at 8 ohms.

Installation Considerations

Power Handling

The SSVC-2, SSVC-4, and SSVC-6 are designed for use with a receiver or amplifier having a maximum power output of 100 watts per channel at 8 ohms. Damage caused by the use of a higher-power receiver or amplifier will void the warranty. Consult your Niles dealer, or receiver/amplifier manufacturer, if you are uncertain about the power rating of your receiver or amplifier.

Important: DO NOT use the SSVC series with amps or receivers rated at more than 100 watts per channel RMS at 8 ohms.

Amplifier Impedance Load

As more pairs of speakers are parallel connected to a receiver or amplifier, the overall system impedance becomes lower. For example, if two pairs of 8-ohm speakers are connected in par- allel, the impedance will be 4 ohms, two pairs of 4-ohm speakers in parallel become 2 ohms, and so on.

Most receivers or amplifiers are not rated for use below a 4 ohm load. Most manufacturers do not recommend connect- ing two pairs of 4-ohm speakers without using some form of impedance correction.

Operation

1.Make sure the amplifier or receiver power is OFF and set the volume to minimum.

2.Set the volume control for the speaker pair you wish to play to maximum (fully clockwise).

3.Locate the on/off button which corresponds to the speaker pair you wish to play. Set it to the ON position.

4.Turn on the amplifier or receiver and select as source, such as the tuner or CD player.

5.Slowly turn up the amplifier or receiver volume and set it to a comfortable (not maximum) listening level. Be careful not to overdrive or “clip” your amplifier. If the sound becomes muddy or distorted, you have reached the limit of your amplifier's volume capability and should quickly reduce the volume to avoid damaging your speakers.

6.Using the appropriate volume control on the front of the speaker selector, adjust the volume of the speakers to the desired listening level.

7.You can turn off the speakers by turning the appropriate volume control on the SSVC series fully counter-clockwise, or by pressing the on/off button.

“TECH TIP”

If your amplifier

or receiver has “A”

and “B” speaker-

pair outputs,

connect the SSVC series to the “A” outputs. Do not connect anything to “B”. This will prevent the amplifier or receiver from driving an unusually low impedance load.
