Installation Instructions

XVC Series Volume Controls

Xantech’s premier product line of XV volume controls are in-wall mountable stereo speaker volume control with impedance matching capability. From one to eight pairs or stereo speakers may be driven from one stereo power amplifier, using an equal number of XV volume controls. It maintains correct impedance matching between the amplifier and the speakers by the use of instant setting jumpers on the control. This eliminates the need for separate impedance matching components in multi-room installations.

Installation Requirements

You will need at the very least, a ” slotted screwdriver, a ¼” slotted screwdriver, wire cutters and wire strippers.

The recommended speaker wire to be used is 16-gauge stranded copper speaker wire. For runs longer than 100 feet, we recommend 14-gauge stranded copper speaker wire. Never use solid-core wire such as aluminum or Romex wire.

Most installations in the United States require a special fire rated wire (CL-2 or CL-3) for speaker wire installed within a wall. Consult your local building codes to find out what kind of wire is required.

Be sure to observe proper polarity when connecting a system.

The positive terminals should always be connected to the positive wire. The negative terminals should always be connected to the negative wire. Failure to do so will result in poor phasing and possible system malfunctions.

Some areas allow the installation of the volume control to be placed in the same junction box as a high voltage connection (120VAC) and divided by a low-voltage partition. This is not recommended as the speaker wires may pick up interference from the high voltage (120VAC) power lines. Again, consult your local building codes to verify the proper way to install the product.
