In-Wall Volume Controls
Although the RCS350-6 offers individual zone volume controls, there may be occasions
when you may want to adjust the volume of a specific zone without having to return to
the amplifier. In-wall volume controls are the perfect solution and they are relatively easy
to set up. Below is a general wiring guide to assist you in the installation of in-wall volume
controls. As with any installation that requires running wires through your walls, be sure to
check local code requirements.
A typical in-wall volume control consists of a face
plate with a volume control knob on the front side
and a step down transformer with in/out connections
on the back side. Keep in mind that these volume
controls come in a range of wattage ratings. The
control you use must match the wattage of your
speakers. You can use a higher rated control for
lower wattage speakers, but you cannot use a lower
rated control for higher wattage speakers.
In-Wall Volume Control Installation
This example shows connections for one
zone. You can connect volume controls to
any of the 6 zones.
Using high quality 16 AWG, 2 or 4 conductor,
heavy gauge, CL2 or CL3 rated, 100%
Oxygen-Free Copper (OFC) speaker wire,
connect the desired zone output’s +/- screw
terminals to the IN+ and IN- terminals on
the volume control. Next, connect the +/-
speaker wires from your speakers to the SP-
and SP+ terminals on the volume control.
Make sure to observe proper polarity on all
connections.
Please note, wall controller wattage
rating must match the wattage of the
connected speakers.
ATTENTION:
Check local code requirements before
installing in-ceiling or in-wall speaker wires. We
recommend you use CL2 or CL3 rated, Oxygen-Free
Copper (OFC) speaker wire.
