Connections
If your amplifier has both “A” and “B”
speaker pair outputs connect the RSL-6
to the “A” outputs. Do not connect any-
thing to “B”. This will prevent the ampli-
fier or receiver from driving an unusual-
ly low impedance load.
Using the RSL-6 with Tube-Type
Amplifiers
Virtually all tube amplifiers must be
connected to a load at all times. If you
are using the RSL-6 with a tube-type
amplifier connect a 150 ohm, 5 watt
resistor across the tube amplifier’s out-
put in parallel with the RSL-6.
Impedance Matching
Use the
SPEAKER
DIP switches on the rear
panel of the RSL-6 to tell the Micro-con-
troller the impedance of each speaker
pair. Then, set the
AMP
DIP switches to
your amplifier’s recommended load (2,
4 or 8 ohms). This guarantees maximum
performance from your amplifier.
Interfacing with a Multi-Room
Infrared Repeater System
If you are using a Niles IR repeater sys-
tem to relay remote control commands
you may connect the
FLASHER OUTPUT
or
OPTION OUT
of the repeater directly to the
IR DATA IN
on the rear of the RSL-6. If you
have an external sensor in the same
room as the RSL-6 you can avoid optical
feedback by disabling the front panel IR
sensor using the rear panel
EYE
DIP
switch.
X-10 Interfacing
If you are using X-10 to control your
lights and you plan to control your RSL-6
with X-10, use the X-10 DIP switches to
assign the RSL-6 a starting code which
will not interfere with your lights.
