SPEAKER-LEVEL VOLUME CONTROL SYSTEM
SVL- 1
Introduction
The SVL-1 is a table top volume control for speakers. It connects between the speaker-level output of an amplifier,
speaker selector, etc. and a pair of speakers.
A perfect application for the SVL-1 is adjusting the volume of
remotely located speakers. The SVL-1 adjusts the volume of
speakers connected to it by attenuating the amplifier signal.
Niles volume controls use autoformers instead of L-pads for the
volume controlling element. This assures minimal internal power
dissipation with virtually no power wasted as heat.

Features and Benefits
The SVL-1 offers a number of improvements over other
volume controls:
● The SVL-1 uses a 12 position control, which is superior to
10 position designs. You get a broader range of
adjustment — there are 10 steps of attenuation instead of
8. Steps 11 - 6 attenuate -3 dB per step; steps 5- 2 are -6
dB per step. Step 1 2 is "full-on" and step 1 is "full-off".
● Greater dynamic range — you get 42 dB of total attenua-
tion instead of the typical 20 or 30 dB.
● POP-FREE switching between all steps.
● 100% tested, electronically and acoustically, for frequency
response, distortion and power handling.
● Pre-printed Room Labels are included for easy identifica-
tion of the SVL-1's volume control.
● Spring-loaded push terminal connectors accommodate
up to 14 gauge wire or "pins", making the SVL-1 compatible with most “high definition” speaker cables.
● Only 8 1/2" wide. Matches the width of 17" components
when combined with another Niles 1/2-width product.
