Advantages of Using The SI-1260 in a Single Zone System

By connecting a Niles SI-1260 to a stereo receiver's preamplifier outputs, you dedicate a robust 60 watts to each speaker in your multi-room system. Each channel has its own level control, enabling you to compensate for architectural differences which may cause one speaker to seem louder than another. In addition, you can fine tune the sys- tem so that when all of the room volume controls are set to the loudest level, the large rooms and the small rooms play at the same volume.
