Installation Considerations

SPS-4 Power Handling

The SPS-4 is designed for use with a receiver or amplifier hav- ing 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. Niles speaker selectors with higher power handling capabilities are available. Consult your Niles dealer, or receiver/amplifier manufacturer, if you are uncertain about the power rating of your receiver or amplifier.

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 parallel, 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 more than two pairs of speakers without using some form of impedance correction.

The SPS-4 includes impedance correction circuitry which pro- tects your receiver or amplifier from low impedance loads.
