About the Niles SI-2125
Whether you're using the Niles SI-2125 as a part of a multi-room audio system or as the amplifier in your main listening room, you'll find that it delivers plenty of pristine, dynamic stereo power.
This amplifier also offers enough flexibility to make it perfect for a wide variety of applications. Its 4-ohm stability means that the SI-2125 can easily drive 2 pairs of speakers at once. Or you can bridge its two channels to drive a single speaker with 300 watts of power.
Niles uses quality parts throughout to ensure that you'll always get top-notch performance. Independent power supplies for each channel prevent cross-talk interference, ensuring especially clean sound. Oversized heat sinks keep the amp cool even when driving heavy loads, elimating the need for a noisy cooling fan and guaranteeing silent operation.

Features
Power Output: The SI-2125 delivers 125 watts per channel at 8 Ohms, 200 watts per channel at 4 Ohms, and 300 watts bridged at 8 ohms.
Audio Circuitry Construction: The audio circuitry of the SI-2125 is constructed using 1% metal film resistors, high quality capacitors, and oversized heat sinks, allowing the amplifier to create sound that is clear and uncolored with great imaging.
Independent Power Supplies: Each channel of the SI-2125 is powered by its own independent power supply. This increases the isolation between the two channels and eliminates cross talk.
High-current Design: The toroidal transformer has two separate windings for each of the power supplies, providing more than ample current to your system.
Oversized Heat Sinks: The oversized heat sinks inside the SI-2125 allow the amplifier to stay cool even when operating into low impedance loads without the noise of fan-cooled amplifiers.
Independent Level Controls: Each channel has its own independent level control enabling you to precisely match the SI-2125 to the rest of your system.
Turn-On Modes: The Turn-On Mode selector switch gives you three options for turning the SI-2125 on and off:
- Constant: the auto turn-on circuitry is off. The front panel power switch operates the amplifier.
- Audio Sense: the power switch on the front panel must be in the "On" position. The amplifier is off when there is no audio signal present at either the left or the right input. If it detects a signal, the amplifier is turned on. Once the audio signal stops, the sensing circuit waits two minutes, then turns the amplifier off.
- 3-30 Volt AC/DC Voltage Trigger: the power switch on the front panel must be in the "On" position. The amplifier is off when there is no 3-30V AC or DC voltage detected at the trigger input. Once the sensing circuitry detects a voltage, the amplifier is turned on. Once the voltage stops, the sensing circuit instantly turns the amplifier off.
Automatic Protection: The SI-2125 is equipped with sophisticated protection circuits. The red "Protect" LED indicates the amp has shut down because there is a fault in the speaker, the wiring, or with the SI-2125 itself. When conditions return to normal, regular operation resumes.
