If the SI1x6 is
not
located
next to the stereo, run a single
fire rated four-conductor (or
two two-conductor) 14-18-
gauge speaker wire from the
stereo to the SI1x6.
Connection to Stereo
Equipment:
Remove the SI1x6
four-position speaker
connectors. The stereo
amplifier or receiver outputs
(left and right) are connected
to the SI1x6 connector labeled
“INPUT”. Be very careful to
observe the correct polarity.
The SI1x6 uses independent
floating grounds so bridged amplifiers can be used safely.
Connection to Speakers:
Remove the remaining SI1x6 four-
position speaker connectors. Connect the speakers or volume
control inputs to any of the six connectors labeled “ROOM”
again strictly observing polarity. Check out or web site
www.knollsystems.com for information on series and parallel
speaker wiring.
Note:
For best sound quality always use Knoll 100%
transformer-free stereo volume controls such as the VC100,
VC100ss or VS100 in each room.
Operation:
The Knöll SI1x6 is completely automatic and does
not need any user adjustments after installation. The SI1x6m
can turn rooms of speakers on and off as desired in any
combination.
