Features

Independent power supply: Each channel is powered from its own independent power supply. This minimizes cross talk.

Independent level controls: Each channel has its own level control allowing you to limit the output and to precisely match the amplifier to the rest of your system.

Three turn-on modes: Three turn-on modes allow you to interface with any kind of system and have the amplifier automatically turn on.

Protection Circuitry: Automatic DC, short circuit and overload protection.

Control Output: A 12 volt DC output allows you to operate voltage-triggered  devices such as motorized screens and curtains.

High quality parts: Uses 1% metal film resistors, high quality capacitors and oversized heat sinks.

Connections

Front panel:

• Master power switch: turns unit on and off
• Power LED: Illuminates in red when the unit is connected to AC and the master power switch is on.
• Active LED: Illuminates in green when the amplifier circuitry is turned on by the turn on circuits.
• Protect LED: Illuminates in red when the unit is turned off by the protection circuitry.
• Independent left and right level adjustment screws: Allow you to preset the maximum system volume or match levels with another amplifier using a 1/8" slotted screwdriver (not supplied).

• Turn-on mode switch: Allows you to select one of three modes.  Constant mode defeats the turn-on circuitry and the front panel master power switch turns the unit on and off.  Audio sense mode turns the amplifier off when no audio signal is present for three minutes and on whenever an audio signal is present.  3-30 volt AC/DC Trigger mode turns the unit off when no AC or DC voltage is detected at the trigger input and turns the unit on when a voltage and a line level audio signal is detected.  
• 3-30V AC/DC trigger input: 3.5mm female jack for voltage input.  If a unit which outputs 3-30V AC or DC voltage is connected to this input and the turn-on mode is set to Trigger mode the unit turns on when it detects the signal and turns off when the signal stops.  Voltage triggers are supplied by some Niles automated switchers, some video projectors or even a 16 volt Niles AC wall adapter (Niles XF00008).
• 12 volt control output: Female 3.5mm jack. This jack provides a 12V DC signal used for triggering Niles automated switchers, some motorized screens, curtains, etc.  When the amplifier is turn off this jack stops sending out the 12V DC signal. 
• Main input: Gold plated RCA stereo input.
• Main output: Gold plated RCA stereo output (marked Cascade output) which allows you to daisy chain multiple amplifiers.  This output is not buffered so if you want to chain more than 5 amplifiers a buffered distribution amplifier like the Niles ADA-6 is needed.
• Speaker outputs: Left and right gold-plated 5-way binding posts accept up to 12 gauge bare wire or banana plugs.
• AC jack: For the supplied AC line cord.

Notes

The manual recommends at least 5" of free air space above the chassis and that, if the unit is placed in a cabinet, that the rear of the cabinet be opened.
