Niles Audio SS-6 Speaker System User Manual


 
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.
