Can I connect 24 8ohm speakers (2 per each channel) on this unit?

Not sure on the physics, but you could daisy chain each speaker to another speaker. This unit doesn't have the power to push that many speakers with much volume, but it might work in a low-level / "background music" type setting.

The question should be what are the impedances of your speakers. According to the Installation Guide "As more pairs of speakers are connected to a receiver the overall system impedance becomes lower. Ex: 2-pairs of 8-ohm speakers lowers the impedance to 4-ohms" The Niles allows impedance correction. It will handle 3 or more pairs of 8-ohm speakers protecting he receiver from low impedance loads.

Yes, but it will push 480 Watts into 4 ohm load, so you could only use 1 4 ohm speaker cab, or use 2 8ohm speaker cabs (240W into each cab). 320W RMS @ 8 Ohms480W RMS @ 4 Ohms

The unit only has two speaker input/outputs- left and right. I don't think it will handle 6 speakers. There is bank of 4 switches on the back of each unit. You set the switch up or down for the 4 switches on the transmitter then set the 4 switches the same on the receiver. You could buy multiple sets of each and set the switches differently for each pair, so each pair could pair 2 speakers. That would be the only way I could see using it with 6 individual speakers.

I have not tried this but from the manual it describes utilizing both the A and B speaker sets. If this is similar to the stereo receivers of the 70s-80s, you would not want to use 4 ohm rated speakers as what normally happens is the speakers get paralleled and the resistance/impedance drops to 2 ohms and that the amp would never be able to handle without shutting down. If I remember, I will test this and comment further but everything I have read says this should work with 8 ohm rated speakers.

Nope, Pretty simple unit, One 3.5 input & two speaker terminals. You would just need a splitter before the unit. One to unit other to whatever...

Think of this unit as 5 individual power amps to do as you please. Use "Y" input connectors to create 2 sets of 2 speaker outputs. Add an external equalizer if you need further adjustments. What you'll want to do with the 5th channel is anyone's guess. I hope this helps.

Hello NebTheWeb, This receiver is capable of driving 6 ohms speakers. I use a set of Totem Dreamcatcher (4 ohms) and the receiver is behaving great.

It will, but check the impedance of the speakers (measured in Ohms or Ω) and make sure they fall within 2 and 8. Wiring the speakers in parallel cuts their impedance in half, so if they are wired that way make sure it doesn't go below 2Ω. Two 8Ω speakers would be ideal, coming out to a total impedance of 4Ω.I would honestly get a less powerful amp or get this one and some better speakers. This thing puts out 200 watts--split that between your two speakers and it's still 100, nearly double their 60-watt power handling limit. Turn the volume up a little past halfway and you will eventually melt your speaker's voice coil.

If you run each pair of 8ohm speakers in series this unit wiil run 16 speakers you wont need the selector b abcdut you have to put every 2 pairs on there own zone abcd

No that will not work. You will only be powering each channel with 25 watts each. Better off buying 1 2 channel amplifier for your subs and this one for your speakers.

My speakers have the near same 87dB, 8 Ohm, with 16G wire to them with 25 foot of wire so I hooked them together and ran it to one speaker and it sounded just the same. I think 16G wire will be just fine for your situation.

No problem at all. Also for future reference, say if you have an amp with four and eight ohm binding posts, just wire the 6 ohm speakers to the 8 ohm posts and rock and roll!

Im by no means an expert but you can use the 8ohm output. However it may not produce enough volume to drive 8 speakers without distorting. The 70v is what I use to drive a 7 speaker setup in a restaurant.

As long the impedance match or at least it's in the functional range you should not have any problem, this speakers are 8 oms . If you receiver it's 8 oms or work from 2 to 8 oms you are good to go . However is not recomended connect speakers with different impedance together . With that say it if you others speakers are 8 oms too you won't have any problem at all

You need Receiver/Amplifier to power those speakers, It's possible to buy more than 2.0 (Stereo) Channel Amplifier and hook up to 8 Speakers at once.

you need an amp that produces 2000 Watts Max per channel and 1000 Watts RMS per channel at 8ohm
