PRELIMINARY TECHNICAL DATA SHEET RSL-6 SPECIFICATIONS IR Range 30 feet @ 30 degrees off-axis Remote Controlled Speaker Selection System INTRODUCTION Individual ON/OFF butThe RSL-6 is a Infrared Remote tons for each pair Controlled Speaker Selection of speakers. System for up to six pairs of speakers. The supplied remote ALL OFF button turns your entire control enables you to select system off. any pair, any combination of pairs, or all six pairs of speakers at once. You don't have to worry about overloading your amplifier. The RSL-6 has a programmable microprocessor that constantly monitors which speakers are playing and selects exactly the right amount of protection for your amplifier.

Each pair of speakers has its own ON/OFF button. In addition, a programmable ALL ON button (you select which rooms will turn on) and an ALL OFF button allow you to conveniently stop or start your music with one touch! Computerized Protection The brain of the RSL-6 is an eight bit modified Harvard Architecture Microcontroller. The microcontroller is programmed to remember the impedance of each of your speaker pairs and your amplifier's ideal load. It constantly monitors how many speaker pairs are playing (and which pairs), calculates the exact amount of impedance protection necessary, and provides the proper amount of protection for your amplifier. Room LED's and Labels. Red LED's indicate when a pair of speakers is on. 72 pre-printed room labels are included for easy identification. X-10® Powerline Control Using optional X-10 wireless remotes and controllers you can control the RSL-6 through the existing 120v AC electrical wires in your home. Optional Niles TW-523 interface module is required. Proudly Made in USA The RSL-6 is made in Miami, Florida and comes with a limited two year parts and labor warranty. B LENDING AND H IGH F IDELITY A RCHITECTURE ® CONTINUED OTHER SIDE MODEL RSL-6 Remote Controlled Speaker Selection System (continued) APPLICATION NOTES Connections If your amplifier has both "A" and "B" speaker pair outputs connect the RSL-6 to the "A" outputs. Do not connect anything to "B". This will prevent the amplifier or receiver from driving an unusually low impedance load. Using the RSL-6 with Tube-Type Amplifiers Virtually all tube amplifiers must be connected to a load at all times. If you are using the RSL-6 with a tube-type amplifier connect a 150 ohm, 5 watt resistor across the tube amplifier's output in parallel with the RSL-6. Impedance Matching Use the SPEAKER DIP switches on the rear panel of the RSL-6 to tell the Micro-controller the impedance of each speaker pair. Then, set the AMP DIP switches to your amplifier's recommended load (2, 4 or 8 ohms). This guarantees maximum performance from your amplifier. Interfacing with a Multi-Room Infrared Repeater System If you are using a Niles IR repeater system to relay remote control commands you may connect the FLASHER OUTPUT or OPTION OUT of the repeater directly to the IR DATA IN on the rear of the RSL-6. If you have an external sensor in the same room as the RSL-6 you can avoid optical feedback by disabling the front panel IR sensor using the rear panel EYE DIP switch. X-10 Interfacing If you are using X-10 to control your lights and you plan to control your RSL-6 with X-10, use the X-10 DIP switches to assign the RSL-6 a starting code which will not interfere with your lights. Spring loaded pushconnector for amplifier or receiver ALL ON DIP switches enable you to select which rooms are activated when the ALL ON button is pressed. AMP IMPEDANCE DIP switches enable you to match the RSL-6 to your amplifier's ideal load. IR DATA IN conX-10 jack for TW-523 nects to Niles IR interface module.
