INTRODUCTION T he SI-2125 is a member of the award-winning Niles Systems Integration Amplifier family . It is designed for home theaters and whole house audio systems requiring high power .
FEA TURES AND BENEFITS T he SI-2125 delivers 125 watts per c hannel at 8 Ohms, 200 watts per channel at 4 Ohms and 300 watts bridged at 8 ohms. Y ou’ll get tremendous bass and dynamics from every pair of speakers powered b y an SI-2125.
T he SI-2125 features three turn-on modes: 1. Music Sense 2. External V oltage T rigger 3. Manual T urn-On via the front panel switch. Y ou can configure the SI-2125 to interface with any kind of system and ha ve the unit automatically turn on. T he SI-2125 is equipped with sophisticated protection circuits.
INST ALLA TION CONSIDERA TIONS Place the SI-2125 on a flat level surface like a table or shelf. It should be placed upright so that its weight rests on the four attached feet. Placing the weight of the amplifier on the rear or front panel for even an instant will result in damage to the amplifier's connectors and controls.
T he SI-2125 draws more current than a preamplifier’ s switched AC outlet can safely supply . Also, y our preamplifier ma y “thump” at dangerous volumes if the amplifier is already on w hen the preamp turns on. It is usually best to turn the amplifier on only when it is needed.
T he SI-2125’ s bridged mode switc h allows y ou to create a more powerful amplifier by combining both c hannels into one (8 ohm minumum). In the bridged mode, connect the speakers to the left red positiv e terminal and the right red positiv e terminal.

14 INST ALLA TION STEP Plug the female IEC socket of the supplied AC cord into the IEC receptacle on the r ear of the amplifier . Plug the 2 prong plug into 1 20V 60 Hz wall outlet. CAUTION! T ypically the preamp/r eceiver’ s switched outlet is not rated for a power amplifier .
OPERA TION T he front panel switch is a master or “v acation” power switc h. No matter which turn-on mode you ha ve selected, the master power switc h will turn off all circuitry —including the sensing circuitry .
