Configuration of Jumpers

The maximum power transfer from an amplifier to a
speaker occurs when the impedance of the speaker
matches that of the amp. This is where the Impedence
matching function of the Unicom Full House Volume
Control becomes important. This function reduces the risk
of damage to the amplifier and improves sound quality.

To set the jumpers, follow the steps below.

1)

Determine the ohm rating of the speakers and 
amplifier and the TOTAL number of speaker pairs 
used in the entire installation.

2)

Using these numbers, locate the appropriate setting 
on the accompanying charts. (fig.1)

3)

Set the jumper to the proper setting. (fig.2)
(i.e., 8

Amp 8

Sp 4 pairs = 4X)

Note:  If an odd number of speaker pairs is used, 
round up to next higher jumper setting.
(i.e., if 7 pairs of speakers are used, set jumpers to 8X)
