VC60i
Impedance Balancing Volume Control
with Multiple Room Switch
The VC60i is an impedance balancing wall mounted stereo vol-
ume control, which connects between a pair of speakers and the
speaker level output of an amplifier, receiver or speaker selector.
Add any number of speakers to your amplifier by making simple
adjustments on the convenient front-mounted switch.
Before mounting the volume control into the wall, consider how
it will be used. It is important to keep in mind the location of the
primary listening area and the ease of running the wire to the
location you choose. It is common to mount the volume control
by the door as you walk into a room, next to existing wall fixtures,
or in the primary area where you will be listening to music.
Do not place the volume control into the same box as a 110V
AC circuit. (i.e. light switch, electrical outlet, etc.).
Speaker
wires can act as an "antenna" for electrical noise. Placing
speaker wires too close to a light switch or dimmer may cause
buzzing or popping sounds to be heard through the speakers. If
you must locate the VC60i near electrical devices, use a separate
electrical box.
Once the location has been determined, install a standard single
gang plaster ring, or a single gang electrical box (light switch
type) before installing the VC60i.
INTRODUCTION
PLACING THE VC60i
CAUTION
• Please be sure that your amplifier or receiver is turned off
prior to wiring the VC60i.
• Damage to your audio system may occur if the VC60i is not
wired properly.
The VC60i features a quick and secure wire connecting system,
which eliminates the need for turning small screws.
For best results, strip the speaker wire no more than
1
⁄
4
" from the
end. Push the wire completely into the opening on the connector,
then lift the lever using your finger or screwdriver. This will secure
the wire.
(see Figure 1)
If you need to remove the wire, simply push the lever down. This
can be done with your finger, but it may be easier to use a screw-
driver or similar tool. With the lever in the down position, you can
pull the wire out.
Refer to
Figure 2
when wiring the VC60i:
1. Connect the amplifier or receiver's left speaker output to the left
amplifier terminals
of the VC60i. Please observe proper polar-
ity of the connections (+ amplifier to + input on the VC60i).
2. Repeat step 1 for the right side.
3. Connect the wires from the left speaker to the left
speaker
output terminals
of the VC60i. Please observe proper polarity
of the wires for correct speaker phase (+ speaker to + output).
4. Repeat step 3 for right speaker connection.
CAUTION
If the input and output connections are reversed, the minimum
setting on the VC60i would present a short across the amplifier
or receiver output terminals, resulting in serious damage to your
amplifier or receiver. Please double check steps 1 - 4. The VC60i
cannot be connected in series with another volume control.
