Essential Info
The Niles Audio VCS100R Stereo Volume Control with Selectable Impedance Magnification is a wall mount, stereo speaker volume control. It connects between the speaker-level output of an amplifier, speaker selector, or distribution hub and a pair of speakers. A perfect application for the VCS 100 is adjusting the volume of remotely located speakers. The VCS 100 adjusts the volume of speakers connected to it by attenuating the amplifier signal. To assure minimal dissipation of internal power with virtually no power wasted as heat, Niles Audio volume controls use autoformers instead of L-pads as the volume-controlling element. The VCS 100 is an impedance-magnifying (IM) volume control. Unlike other brands, it has additional autoformer windings that magnify the impedance of connected speakers, while allowing all 12 steps to adjust the volume of the sound. Switches on the PC board select these windings. With the volume control providing impedance protection for your amplifier, you can create systems with no additional impedance-matching devices between the volume control and the amplifier. This product is also available in almond, bone, black and brown, each sold separately.

Additional Features and Benefits
- Interchangeable Decora-style inserts for fast, easy color change. Inserts and knobs (sold separately) are available in a variety of colors
- A universal impedance-magnifying design enables the VCS 100 to act as both a stereo and an impedance magnifying volume control. You can magnify the speakers’ impedance by a factor of two, four, or eight.
- Unlike other impedance-matching volume-control products, Niles Audio IM volume controls maintain a 12-position adjustment regardless of how much impedance magnification you use, with total attenuation >48dB
- Pop-free switching between all steps
- Redesigned autoformers provide superior sonic performance, exceeding the audio quality of non-impedance magnifying volume controls
- Isolated left and right-channel grounds ensure safety with any amplifier
- May be used with 4-, 6-, or 8-ohm speaker systems
- Ideal for home and commercial sound installations
- UL rated to comply with all local building codes
- Available colors: almond, black, bone, brown, and white
- Installation requires only a screwdriver and wire stripper
- Mounting depth of only 2-9/16". Fits into standard 18-cubic inch one-gang junction boxes
- Power handling: 100W/channel RMS
- Frequency response: 20Hz to 20kHz ±2dB
- Ten years parts and labor warranty
