APPLICATION

Superior styling of WhisperTouch controls combined with their fine-tune level capability make them ideal for residential/custom installation and professional applications of all kinds including: private homes, medical and legal offices, dental groups, studios, and high-profile businesses that demand clear music reproduction and precise level control.

GENERAL DESCRIPTION

WhisperTouch volume controls provide for clear, distortion-free stereo music reproduction when one or multiple loudspeaker pairs are powered by a single amplifier. Model DWT-8 is an 8 ohm device with a decora-style wall plate.

Frequency response is 20Hz - 20kHz (-3dB, +0). Attenuation is accomplished in ten steps plus positive off. The first six steps are 3dB for fine tune control at low listening levels, the next three steps are 6dB, followed by one 9dB step and finally one 28dB step before "off".

The low-profile knob is pleasant to the touch and adjusts easily. It measures 1516" Dia. and projects a mere 12" for unobtrusive yet functional operation. The control operates smoothly with fine detents and make-before-break contacts for gradual and un-interrupted transition when changing volume settings. High quality units require 12 to 18-gauge wire and terminate with convenient plug-in connectors. Assemblies measure 234" deep and mount into a standard 20 cu.in. E.O. Box (by others). Specify plate color: suffix (-I) for ivory or (-W) for white.
