5.5 Speaker Outputs
The n-Vi provides five speaker output sockets each rated at
90 watts into 4Ω. The five speaker outputs are intended to
be connected to the front left, front right, centre, surround
left and surround right speakers. In order to comply with
European safety legislation speakers should be connected
using the supplied Naim Audio n-Vi speaker plugs only. Naim
Audio speaker cable is recommended although alternatives are
possible. Your local retailer or distributor will be able to offer
advice.
When connecting speakers ensure that each positive pin -
identified by a “
+
” mark on the side of the connector body - is
always inserted to the positive output sockets. Also ensure that
the connections at the speaker are connected with the same
polarity. For details of the speaker output sockets see Diagram
5.7.
5.6 Control Outputs
The n-Vi provides control outputs that enable it to be integrated
with remote handset signal (RC5) repeaters and optionally
with multi-room equipment control systems. The RC5 output is
connected via a single RCA-phono socket and the optional multi-
room control output is connected via an RJ45 socket. For more
detail on connection to the control input sockets see Diagram
5.7.
