INSTALLATION CONSIDERATIONS

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.
