Niles Audio RVL-6 - Manual (Page 4)

Features and Benefits
High-Power Handling
The RVL-6 is designed for amplifiers rated at 150 watts per channel continuous (RMS) power. Massive copper
traces on the printed circuit-board handle large amounts of amplifier current, ensuring high dynamic-range and
clarity. Isolated left and right channel ground returns make the RVL-6 compatible with virtually any amplifier.
Independent Control for Room ON/OFF, VOLUME UP and VOLUME DOWN Commands
The RVL-6 ROOM ON/OFF and VOLUME UP/DOWN commands enable you to control the room you are in
without affecting the rest of the system. You can fine tune your listening area without disturbing others in anoth-
er room.
Global ALL ON and ALL OFF Command
DIP switches on the rear panel of the RVL-6 enable you to individually choose which speakers turn on when
the ALL ON command is received. Every room in the system enabled via the ALL ON DIP switches can be
turned on instantaneously by issuing the ALL ON command. The entire system can be turned off from any
location by issuing the ALL OFF command.
Total Front-Panel Control
The front panel buttons of the RVL-6 enable you to control ROOM ON/OFF and VOLUME UP/DOWN (pro-
viding that the correct control module has been installed. When entertaining family and friends, whole-house
speaker volume changes are easy and convenient.
Keypad and Hand-Held Remote Control
The RVL-6 can be operated by optional Niles wall-mount keypads (RP-6, RP-7, or the IntelliPad) and/or via
Niles IR sensors with hand-held remote controls. The front panel IR sensor of the RVL-6 enables you to con-
trol virtually every aspect of your components using a hand-held remote control.
Teaches Learning Remote Controls its IR Commands
All IR commands required to control the RVL-6 can be taught to a learning remote control via the the RVL-6’s
teaching IR flasher. This conveniently integrates control of your source components with control of your RVL-6.
IntelliPad-Ready with Power Status Feedback
The RVL-6 communicates the status of each room module to a corresponding IntelliPad, Niles’ award-winning
programmable IR keypad system. Each IntelliPad in the system displays and controls whether its room is on or
off. The IntelliPad’s power synchronization circuitry enables you to create one-touch synchronized sequences
to automate your system.
Powerline Carrier Control
Using an optional powerline carrier controller (X-10 ® or Leviton Decora ® Home Control) you can control the
RVL-6 through the existing 120V AC electrical wires in your home. An optional Niles TW-523 interface mod-
ule (Niles stock# FG00256) is required.
