Introduction
The SSVC series is a combination speaker selector and volume
controller. It allows you to connect multiple pairs of speakers
to your stereo receiver or amplifier and adjust the volume of
any pair independently. Additionally, you can choose to listen
to any pair of speakers, or any combination of pairs simultaneously. You don’t have to worry about overloading your amplifier.
The SSVC series uses impedance magnification to keep your
amplifier running safely, even with all speakers playing.
A perfect application for the SSVC series is individually controlling speaker “on/off” and volume adjustment for multiple
pairs of speakers: one pair in the room with the main stereo
system and all other pairs at remote locations. The SSVC series
adjusts the volume of the 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.
