Incorporating a Volume Control
It is possible to control the volume of the sound at the speaker location. Volume
controls are connected in line with the speaker, an example of wiring an area with
2 speakers and a master volume control is shown in
Figures 4a and 4b, 4a is for
one-speaker stereo mode and
4b is for two-speaker stereo mode. It is usually
desirable to control the volume of the speakers in different areas or zones of the
outdoor system. A suggested way to accomplish this is shown in
Figures 5 and 5b,
5a is for one-speaker stereo mode and 5b is for two-speaker stereo mode.
Niles makes a wide range of outdoor volume controls. We recommend our
standard weatherproof volume control, WVC100 series or our weatherproof muting
volume control, WMVC series. In addition to controlling the volume of the
loudspeakers, these controls can allow the addition of added speakers without
adding more amplifier channels. Volume controls provide flexibility and
customization to make the system reliable and easy to use. Consult your local
Niles’ dealer for more information about using volume controls.
