"TECH TIP"

Wire size is

expressed by it's AWG (American Wire Gauge) number. The lower the AWG number, the larger the wire, i.e., 12 AWG wire is physically larger than 14 AWG.

The SVL-2 includes impedance correction circuitry which protects your receiver or amplifier from low impedance loads. The circuitry assures that your receiver or amplifier will see a safe operating load, even when two pairs of 4-ohm speakers are playing at the same time.

Type of Speaker Wire

For most applications, we recommend you use 16 or 18 gauge stranded copper speaker wire for the SVL-2 connec- tions. For wiring runs longer than 80 feet, 14 gauge wire is recommended. Using speaker wire larger than 14 gauge for the SVL-2 connections is not recommended—the wire may not fit into the connectors. Never use solid-core, aluminum, or "Romex" type wire with the SVL-2. When running speaker wires inside walls, most states and municipalities in the U.S. specify that you must use a special type of speaker wire. Usually, the requirement is that the wire has a specific "CL" fire rating, such as "CL-2" or "CL-3". Consult your Niles deal- er, building contractor, or local building and inspection department if unsure about which type of wire is best for your application.

Avoiding Interference

Speaker wires can act as an antenna for electrical noise. Locating speaker wires too close to a light dimmer or switch may cause a "buzzing" or "popping" sound to be heard thought the speakers. If you must locate the SVL-2 wiring
