Setting the Impedance Switch

Count the number of speakers you’re con­necting the volume control to, and if they’re
4ohm or 8ohm.

• Check the specifications in your amplifier
or receiver owner’s manual (or on the back
of the amplifier) to determine if it can sup­port an 8ohm or 4ohm speaker load.

• Set the impedance switch to the correct
setting using the
chart to the right:

• On all volume con­trols in the system,
set the impedance
match jumper to
the same position.

It’s not recommend­ed to install more
than 8 volume controls in parallel. It’s also
recommended to use additional impedance
protection when installing more than two
8ohm speakers per channel on each volume
control.

Mounting the enclosure

• If conduit is going to be used, run the wiring
through the conduit and into the opening
at the base of the enclosure.

• Using the appropriate adhesive material,
mount the enclosure into the PVC conduit.

• Secure the enclosure to a stationary object
in the wall using the four holes in the back.

Wiring

• Strip ¼ to ½ inches (6 to 12 mm) of the in­sulation o the connection cables. To avoid
stray strands, twist them at the end. Twist
the input wires with the volume control in­put wires. (Make sure all cables are consis­tent with polarity.)

• Run the output cables from the amplifier to
the volume control’s input wires.

• run the cables from the volume control’s
output to the speaker’s input.

Install volume control in the enclosure

• Put volume control into the enclosure.

• For the OV100, place cover plate over the
enclosure ensuring that the plastic rubber
gasket is in place behind the cover plate.
Place the control knob on the volume con­trol.
