ACI Volume Control

Additional Information:

Wire: Use 18, 16, or 14awg wire, depending on the length of your run. A longer run will have less signal loss with a larger wire. Use stranded type speaker wire and check with local building codes to see what type of wire is allowable. Generally you will want cable that is UL rated for in-wall use such as ACI In-wall speaker wire. Take care to insure that bare speaker wires don’t touch each other to touch a metal junction box. Route the wires away from dimmer switches and other electrical wires to reduce the chance of picking up "humming " or "buzzing" sounds.

Impedance Matching: Determine the minimum impedance that your amplifier or receiver can handle. Determine the impedance of your speakers. Most are either 4 ohm or 8 ohm. Determine the number of pairs of speakers you will be using on a single volume control. Use the charts included to determine the correct jumper setting to use. Change both jumpers on the side of the volume control. (Labeled 2X, 4X and 8X) Both jumpers must be on the same terminals.

Wiring Instruction: Strip all wires to be connected to the volume control 1/8". Twist or solder the wires to keep from fraying and shorting on other wires. Thread all wires through the back of the outlet box. Connect the wires from the amplifier to the Input terminal of the volume control by inserting the wire and screwing down to tighten. Keep L, R and +, - consistent with the amplifier. Connect the speaker wires to the Output terminals. Take care in inserting the volume control into the box. Look carefully to assure that no wires were pulled out of the volume control during insulation.
