Application Example  

The VCX150 mute mode automatically reduces volume to barely audible. 

When a visitor lifts an exhibit audio handset that triggers a NO non-

momentary switch starting a player, the visitor can adjust the volume 

with push buttons on the display (or on the handset). If the visitor 

returns the handset to the control element before the program ends, 

volume will diminish to nearly mute until the program stops or another 

person triggers the switch resuming the program at mid-range level.    

 

Operating Mode 

VCX150 detects change of state of the continuous NO switch and starts 

VCX volume reset program. When switch closes, playback volume is set 

to barely audible. 

 

For NC non momentary switch  use 1+ 4+ 5+ 6 UP  

 

Volume adjustment is relative 

15 dB + or – from input level. 

Also compatible: 

SOUNDSTIKvcx with integrated 

NO non-momentary switch. 

Requires Hanger Mount.
