Introduction
The VCS-2D-HP is a wall-mount, Decora
®
style speaker vol-
ume control. It connects between the speaker-level output
of an amplifier, speaker selector, etc. and a pair of speakers.
A perfect application for the VCS-2D-HP is adjusting the
volume of remotely located speakers. The VCS-2D-HP adjusts
the volume of speakers connected to it by attenuating the
amplifier signal. Niles volume controls use autoformers
instead of L-pads for the volume controlling element. The use
of autoformers assures minimal internal power dissipation
with virtually no power wasted as heat.
