Page 5: Installation Considerations
E L E C T I O N Installation Considerations SVL-4AB Power Handling The SVL-4AB is designed for use with receivers or amplifiers having a maximum power output of 100 watts per channel at 8 ohms. Damage caused by the use of higher-power receivers or amplifiers will void the warranty. - Page 6 The actual impedance load the SVL-4AB presents to each of your receivers or amplifiers will vary, depending on how many speaker pairs are playing, and the impedance rating of each speaker.
- Page 7 Using the SVL-4AB with Tube-Type Amplifiers Virtually all tube amplifiers must have a load connected at all times. If one of the amplifiers to be connected to the SVL-4AB is a tube amplifier, be sure to always have at least one pair of speakers switched on at all times.

Page 12: Operation
P E A K E R E L E C T I O N Operation The are two ways to use the SVL-4AB. You may play and "TECH TIP" adjust the volume of one pair of speakers at a time, or play multiple pairs simultaneously. - Page 13 1. Make sure both of the amplifiers are OFF and set the vol- ume controls to minimum. 2. On the right side of the SVL-4AB's front panel is a button labeled PROTECTION. This button activates the SVL-4AB's impedance correction circuitry. The circuitry assures that both of your receivers or amplifiers will see a safe operating load when playing multiple speaker pairs simultaneously.
- Page 14 8. Using the appropriate volume controls on the front of the SVL-4AB, adjust the volume of the speakers to the desired lis- tening level. The volume control of your receiver or amplifier acts as the master volume for all of your speaker pairs.
