IT-VCM Specifications 

 

Conditions unless noted:

  Volume= -10dB, Bass= 0dB, Treble= 0dB, Balance=  Center,   

 

 

 

 

 

  Mode= Stereo Pro 0dBm= 1mW into 600 ohm;  0.775 Vrms 

 

Input Number/Type 

1 stereo, balanced or unbalanced 

Connector 

Fixed 5 position screw terminal 

Impedance 

20k ohms balanced, 10k ohms unbalanced 

Maximum Input Level 

+18dBm (Pro mode), +6dBm (consumer mode) Volume set at -10dB 

CMRR >50dB 
Input Controls: 

      Pro/Consumer mode 

Pro mode provides unity gain with volume set to 0dB. 
Consumer mode pr12dB boost. 

      Mono/Stereo Mode 

Mono Mode provides L+R input sum fed to both left and 
right outputs 

      Bass 

±15dB @ 40Hz in thirty one 1dB steps (with volume = 0dB) controllable from 
serial port only 

      Treble 

±15dB @ 16kHz in thirty one 1dB steps (with volume = 0dB) controllable from 
serial port only 

      Balance 

Left or Right channel cut by 20dB in thirty one steps controllable from serial port 
only 

      Volume 

0 to -62dB in 1dB steps.  The 63

rd

 step provides an attenuation of  

-63dB controllable from pot, input switches or serial port. 

      Mute 

Attenuates input signal by at least -95dB controllable from input switches or 
serial port.  

 
Output Number/Type 

1 Stereo balanced or unbalanced 

Connector 

Fixed 5 position screw terminal 

Impedance 

50 ohm balanced (intended to drive a 600 ohm or higher load) 

Maximum output level 

+13dBm 

Frequency response 

20Hz-20kHz ±0.5dB 

S/N 80dB 
THD 

0.1% @ 1khz, +2dBm in “Pro” mode 

Power 

+12VDC @ 200mA maximum 

Power Supply 

Universal input IT-PS1 (12VDC 1A supply available separately and will power 
up to five IT-VCM modules) 

Connector 

Fixed 2 position screw terminal 

On Board LED indicators 

Power Input Supervisor, Mute Status, Serial Input Rx/Tx, Serial Output Rx/Tx 

Control Inputs 

Volume up, Volume down and Mute via contact closure to ground.   
3k impedance 

Volume Potentiometer 
(also see NOTE"*" below) 

External 10k linear taper pot 3 wire connection (can also accept a 0-12VDC 
external control voltage) 

Mute LED Output 

3.3VDC output, 330 ohm impedance (direct drive to an external 10 mA LED) 

Ramp Output 
 

0-10VDC output, 500 ohm impedance (Intended to drive a high impedance 
control system analog input or external bar graph display.) 

 

NOTES: 
 

*Must enable “Pot Control” mode switch to use pot.  Volume Up/Down switches and serial control of volume are 
disabled when pot is enabled.  Serial port can be used to quiry pot level setting.  Mute switch is still active when pot 
is enabled. 
 
Settings retention:  All current settings are saved in non-volatile flash memory upon power loss.  Setting include:  
Volume, Bass, Treble, Balance, Mute and settings.
