Installation Considerations
SVL-4 Power Handling
The SVL-4 is designed for use with a receiver or amplifier
having a maximum power output of 100 watts per channel at
8 ohms. Damage caused by the use of a higher-power receiv-
er or amplifier will void the warranty. Consult your Niles deal-
er, or receiver/amplifier manufacturer, if you are uncertain
about the power rating of your receiver or amplifier.
IMPORTANT: DO NOT USE THE SVL-4 WITH AMPS OR
RECEIVERS RATED AT MORE THAN 100 WATTS PER CHAN-
NEL RMS AT 8 OHMS.
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
connecting more than two pairs of speakers without using
some form of impedance correction.
