Introduction

The SS-4/SS-6 allows you to connect multiple pairs of speakers to your stereo receiver or amplifier and play any pair, any combination of pairs, or all pairs simultaneously. You don’t have to worry about overloading your amplifier. The SS-4/SS-6 has a protection circuit that keeps your amplifier running safely, even if you have all pairs of speakers playing at the same time.

Balancing Speaker Volume

The volume control on your receiver or amplifier serves as the “master” volume for all speaker pairs connected.

The volume level of the speakers may vary from room to room. This is caused by several factors. Two lesser factors are the size of the speaker and its efficiency. The largest factor is the physical size of the room.

The best way to balance speaker volume is to equip each of the speaker pairs in your system with a Niles volume control. The controls allow you to adjust the volume of each speaker pair individually. If all the speaker pairs in your system are equipped with Niles volume controls, you can leave the ampli- fier or receiver volume set at one position and use the Niles controls exclusively.
