Wiring
The OS loudspeakers connect to your receiver or amplifier using
TECH TIP
Wire size is expressed by its AWG (American Wire Gauge) number. The lower the number, the larger the wire, i.e. twelve AWG is physically larger than fourteen AWG.
When you run wire inside walls, outdoors or in marine installations, special jacketing or conduit is required for a
Incorporating a Volume Control
It’s possible to control the volume of the sound at the loudspeaker location. Plan to wire the system so that each pair of loudspeakers has its own volume control. Niles makes a wide range of indoor and outdoor volume controls with and without muting capabilities. Consult your local Niles dealer for more information. Volume controls are connected in line with the loudspeaker, so you must connect the wire from the amplifier to the volume control and then from the volume control to the loudspeaker (See Figure 3).
