Niles Audio SI-245 - Manual (Page 14)

Line Level Audio Inputs
CAUTION! THE AMPLIFIER MUST BE OFF WHENEVER YOU MAKE CHANGES
TO THE INPUT CONNECTIONS.
Cascade Audio Outputs
The “ Cascade Audio Outputs ” enable you to connect another amplifier to your
preamplifier output. The connectors are gold-plated RCA phono jacks. Connect
them to another amplifier’s inputs with a standard audio patch cable. The outputs
are not buffered; if you wish to daisy-chain more than five Niles amplifiers you
will need a Niles ADA-6 buffered distribution amplifier. A single ADA-6 will
allow you to daisy-chain five amplifiers from each of its six outputs, allowing 30
SI-245 power amplifiers to be fed from the same master preamplifier. If your pre-
amp has a vacuum tube output stage, you must use a Niles ADA-6 to drive more
than a single SI-245.
STEP
1. Label all of the interconnecting
cables for the sources they connect to.
2. Connect the sources by inserting the
RCA plugs into the amplifier’s jacks.
DESCRIPTION
Use audio patch cables with RCA phono
plugs attached to the ends.
Connect outputs from your sources to
inputs on the amplifier. Never connect a
source or preamplifier’s input (e.g., record
inputs) to the inputs of your SI-245.
