MLA VC10 Plus • Setup Guide

The Extron MLA VC10 Plus Volume Control Module converts RS-232 commands from a 
control system into voltage or impedance changes to control audio amplifiers with volume 
and mute control ports. The MLA VC10 Plus mutes or makes level changes on an Extron 
MPA Series or half rack XTRA

 Series amplifier from a TouchLink

 Touchpanel system, an 

RS-232-capable MediaLink

®

 Control Processor, or a third-party control system. The control 

module also supports third-party amplifiers that use either variable voltage or 10 kilohm 
potentiometer control.
This setup guide provides instructions for quick installation and configuration of the 
MLA VC10 Plus with Extron products or some common third-party amplifiers. Installation 
and service must be performed by experienced installers only. For complete features, 
functions, and configuration instructions, read the user guides that come with your control 
processor and amplifier and see the

 MLA VC10 Plus User Guide

, which is available at
