Niles WVC100 - Specifications; Power Handling

5. Slowly turn up the amplifier or receiver volume and set it to
a comfortable – not maximum – listening level. Don’t over-
drive or "clip" your amplifier. If the sound becomes muddy
or distorted, you have reached the limit of your amplifier’s
volume capability. Reduce the volume at once to avoid
damaging your speakers.
6. Use the volume control to adjust the volume of the speakers
to the desired listening level. If all the speaker pairs in your
system are equipped with Niles volume controls, you can set
the amplifier or receiver volume at one position and use the
Niles controls exclusively.
7. To turn off the speakers, turn the knob on the volume control
fully counter-clockwise, or press the ON/OFF button on your
speaker selector.
