WE KNOW HOME AUDIO: We've been in the professional home audio installation business for 25 years.. We know audio systems. This model is compatible with almost all systems, speakers and receivers. It requires NO speaker selector unit and permits the control up to 48 speakers in as many as 16 different rooms/zones. This is our most popular choice for home STEREO installations. Read The YELLOW key points below to find out why & how. I've reviewed 6 different room volume control units before deciding to recommend this one. NOTICE: THIS LISTING IS FOR ONE UNIT ONLY (we also sell these in 6 and 12 packs in our ebay store) Before scrolling down to see the 6 photos, read these FOUR REASONS (great features) why I chose this unit and I believe it is one of the best room volume control solutions for whole-house audio stereo installations: (1) Eliminates need for having a speaker switch or distribution center: This is the big one. As you will see in the photos below, this unit has a 4 position black slide switch INSIDE on the main board. This switch adjusts THE INPUT impedance (resistance) of the unit (the load on the amp/receiver). Assuming that you are running 2 speakers (8 ohm) on the outputs of this control, then when the black switch is down the entire way to position 1 the input load will be around 11 ohms. This is like most every other wall-mount volume control out there. BUT HERE IS THE GREAT PART: Moving the black switch one position up to notch 2 will make the volume control have a 25 ohm load on the amp. Position 3 is 48 ohms, and position 4 is 93 ohms. Now let me break it down for you in plain English: At position 1 (down the entire way) you can only wire two of these volume controls to a receiver's speaker output jacks. But at position 2 (1 click up) you can wire 4 units to the receiver - that is four different rooms each with one of these volume controls running their own 2 speakers, and all 4 volume controls getting their power from the same receiver speaker terminals. And with NO speaker selector switch or network necessary... Impressive? It gets better. At position 3, you can have 8 rooms with their own volume controls, all running back to the same receiver. And finally, at position 4 (up the entire way), you can have up to 16 rooms - 16 separate rooms with their own volume control in each - and each with 2 speakers in it, all running off the same amplifier. Did I mention you can use the receiver/amp you already own to run those 32 speakers? See the switch on the unit actually changes the load it places on the amp, so your receiver only sees the load of one set of speakers. Now the above numbers are correct if you are putting 2 speakers in each room, but as you know, we recommend installing 4 speakers in rooms for optimum sound dispersion. So if you decide to put four speakers in each one of your rooms (making each volume control run 4 speakers, 2 on each channel), then here is the new data for you: Position 1 (down the entire way) limits you to one volume control per receiver/amp output. Position 2 limits you to 2 rooms/zones/volume controls. Position 3 limits you to 5 rooms/zones/volume controls. And position 4 (entire way up) limits you to 12 rooms. If you did the math, that is 48 speakers on one amp/receiver. Concerned about having enough power? See the next feature below. (2) The load placed on the receiver/amp is that which you are ACTUALLY listening to: While L-Pads and similar volume controls always draw the same load on the receiver (giving off what you don't listen to in heat), this unit is different. The formulas I gave you ABOVE are for when every single room/zone/volume control is turned up the entire way. This is your worst case scenario (all volumes up full) and the units will still all work beautifully. But in actuality most of the time you won't have every room turned up, maybe not even on at all (by the way when the volume is turned down the whole way on these, it is TOTALLY DEAD SILENT so it is great for bedrooms). The point here is that while other volume controls when turned down give off their share of the power in heat, this unit simply doesn't draw anything; it's as if that zone was never installed. This is ideal; it is just how the AC receptacles in your home work-- if nothing is plugged into it, or if the device is off, no power is drawn. The same here - so you can keep your receiver/amp running all day long with the master volume on it up, and if all the room controls are down or low, very little power is used and the receiver will stay cool. Again, the principle here is that the power used is what you hear. So the power rating of 100 watts peak on these units - you guessed it - that is the limit of what you are actual using and in that one room, coming out to the speakers in that one particular room/zone. Considering this, 100 watts is more than generous. (3) Slide-Click Volume Control as opposed to a round selector knob: While some customers prefer the look of round knobs, from a user-friendly standpoint this slider type is best. Just by glancing at the control on the wall you can easily "see" how loud it is set for even from across the room when the sound is off at at system. If you haven't experienced this before, just imagine turning on the main system and the bedroom coming on full. Being able to visually "see" the level is nice (kind of like the numbers or volume graph on your TV that go up with the volume). On a separate note, the front slider switch itself has over 10-click positions, from total silence the entire way down, to full volume the entire way up. Some other models of controls on the market are "smooth" potentiometers. This unit is actually a slide "switch" with more than 10 "fixed positions". This method is better since corrosion (static when you turn knobs) will NOT sit in over time, as is common on high powered potentiometer style controls. (4) Easy Installation: SPECIAL NOTES HERE READ PRIOR TO INSTALLING PLEASE... These units ARE DEEP and will NOT fit into a standard electrical box. Even open-ended low-voltage boxes (sold at Lowes) won't work, but extra deep boxes will work. Because of this, I recommend these units for new constriction. But for existing construction, it's quite difficult to mount a box which will accept these monsters. To recap, if you can get into the wall and mount any type of box you want, you will be fine. Allow 3" depth for wiring to make it easy. How to wire this unit: Run TWO separate (one for L and one for R) 16 gauge lines from the receiver to EACH room/zone/volume control. Then run two lines from each volume control to that room's ceiling/wall speakers. If you using 4 speakers per room, then connect two speakers in parallel for each channel output off the control. As you can see in the photos below the board has TWO 4-position terminal blocks - one for INPUT and one for OUTPUT. Speakers obviously go on the outputs, and the inputs obviously go back to the amp/receiver. When you install the volume control make sure the output connector block is on the bottom (otherwise the unit will be upside down). Between the two terminal blocks is the 4 position black slider switch I explained in great detail in paragraph 1 above. Note that the black switch only has 4 positions. If you use the bottom or top most position, make sure it is actually locked into that position - for when sliding the entire way down it sometimes "passes" the end position by a hair. Don't operate the unit this way as it will malfunction and put an additional load on your amp. This is no big deal since you will only be setting this "hidden" switch once (its inside of course so no one can touch it). If you are NOT wiring multiple volume controls together, keep the black switch down to the first position so the sharing system is off. This is also the setting you would use if you use multiple rooms BUT they are all going back to a speaker distribution/selector unit instead of to a standard receiver/amp. Also, PLEASE KEEP IN MIND THAT NO INSTRUCTIONS COME WITH THE UNITS YOU ORDER, THE INSTRUCTIONS ARE HERE ON THIS PAGE (This is why I explained everything in such detail).. So refer to the above, especially paragraph 1 where I went over how to use the internal impedance switch. That internal switch is the best kept secret and can save you hundreds of dollars in equipment since it makes it possible to link so many rooms to one receiver without speaker selectors or switching networks. I did all the math for the sound calculations above myself and have used them in countless installations, not only in homes, but also in applications ranging from tanning salons/spas to shopping malls.
