NEAR OPS1 Installation And Use Manual - Selecting Power Level
Selecting Power Level
Select the power level using the front-mounted selector switch. The speaker grille
must be removed prior to selecting the power level. See Speaker Grille Installation &
Removal section for proper grille removal procedures.
Selecting Power Level
The front-mounted selector switch is used to set the
appropriate power level or impedance for your
system. Using a small flat-blade screwdriver, turn the
knob until the slot points to the power level you
require.
70V/100V Systems
Both power setting scales for 70V and 100V systems
are labeled on the speakers. On the 100V scale, the
last position clockwise is marked with a (not avail-
able) symbol. Do not use this position in 100V
systems.

The fully counterclockwise position of the setting switch is the 16-ohm position.This
setting is suitable for use with low-impedance amplifiers that typically support 4- or
8-ohm speakers.The speaker’s higher, 16-ohm impedance makes it easier to combine
multiple speakers into series-parallel networks while keeping the total system
impedance at a level suitable for low-impedance amplifiers.
Speaker Grille Installation & Removal
Installation
The speaker grille fits tightly! Make sure the tap set-
tings are correct prior to re-installing grille. Push the
speaker grille in until it can go no further.Then, slap
around the edge of the grille to seat the grille. The
grille is properly seated when it is flush with the edge
of the bezel.
Removal
