INSTALLATION

Cutting the Hole

Once you have decided

upon an ideal installation

location for the Wall-

Mounted Volume Control,

hold the Mounting Bracket

up to the wall surface. Level

the Mounting Bracket and

mark the wall by tracing the

inside perimeter of the

Mounting Bracket with a

pencil. Repeat the same

procedure for the In-Ceiling

Speakers using the supplied

template to trace a 9-1/4”

diameter hole for each In-

Ceiling Speaker.

(See Figure 3)

If you are cutting a painted

or wallpapered ceiling, use

a razor-knife to cleanly cut

the wallpaper. Then use a

drywall saw to cut the dry-

wall. (See Figure 4)

Be very careful not to saw

through existing wires,

pipes or structure.

Installing the
Mounting Bracket

Place the Mounting Bracket

against the hole.

(See Figure 5)

Bend the tabs at a 90° angle

and insert into the hole.

(See Figure 6)

When the bracket is secure,

bend the tabs back against

the inside of the drywall and

insert the screws so that they

penetrate the tabs, clamping

the bracket to the drywall.

(See Figure 7)

Running the
Speaker Cable

Conceal the Speaker Cable

between the stereo equip-

ment and the Wall-Mount

Volume Control, and

between the Wall-Mount

Volume Control and the

Speakers.

Be sure to measure the

approximate distance

from your equipment to

the Wall-Mount Volume

Control location, and from

the Wall-Mount Volume

Control to the first and

second Speaker locations

to ensure that you have

enough wire to complete

the installation.

(See Figure 8)

INSTALLATION

Connecting the
Speaker Cable to
the Volume Control

Connecting the Volume

Control backwards could

damage your amplifier.

Make sure to connect the

Speaker Cable coming

from your amplifier to

the INPUT of the Volume

Control (labeled AMPLIFI-

ER), and the OUTPUT of

the Volume Control

(labeled SPEAKERS) to

the In-Ceiling Speakers.

Strip the wire jacket back 2"

to expose the four colored

conductors and remove 1/4"

of insulation from the end of

each conductor. Twist the

end of each conductor so

the ends are not frayed.

Make sure that no more

than 1/4" of bare wire is

exposed.

Exposing too much wire

could cause the wires to

touch and create a “short”

which could damage

your equipment.

Connect the exposed ends

of each of the Speaker

Cable’s conductors to the

removable connectors pack-

aged with the Wall-Mount

Volume Control. (See

“Connect the wires” at

the bottom of page 7.)

If you are going to connect

more than two pairs of

speakers to the amplifier,

the Volume Control’s

“Impedance Magnifying”

jumpers must be reset.

(See Figure 10, Page 8

of this manual)

Refer to the Installation

section on page 8 of the

VCS-2D-IM Volume Control

manual included with your

Carefully make a 12" incision in the wire jacket to
expose all four colored conductors (be careful
not to damage the colored conductors inside!).

Cut only the red and black wires at the top of the
incision and strip approx. 3/8" of insulation from
the ends of each conductor. Connect the red and
black wires to the speaker as shown above.
