Turn-On Modes The SI-275 draws more current than a preamplifier’s switched AC outlet can safely supply. Also, your preamplifier may “thump” at dangerous volumes if the amplifier is already on when the preamp turns on. It is usually best to turn the amplifier on only when it is needed. The Turn-On Mode selector switch gives you three options f ...

Multiple Speaker Loads The SI-275 is stable into very low impedance loads. This means you can safely operate three pairs of 8 ohm speakers (a 2.67 ohm load) directly connected to the SI-275. Note that the SI-275 does not have on/off speaker switching built in. When the amplifier is on, so are all of the speakers . Niles makes a number of different ...
