Playing Two or More Speaker Pairs
Simultaneously
1. Make sure the amplifier or receiver power is OFF and
set the volume to minimum.
2. On the right side of the SVL-6's front panel is a button
labeled PROTECTION. This button activates the SVL-6's
impedance correction circuitry. The circuitry assures that
your receiver or amplifier will see a safe operating load
when playing multiple speaker pairs simultaneously. Since
most receivers and amplifiers are not rated for use below a
4 ohm load, you will need to activate the PROTECTION
button whenever the overall system impedance might fall
below 4 ohms. Use the following chart as a guide for set-
ting the PROTECTION button.
