Essential Info

The Niles Audio WMVC100E Enclosed Weatherproof Muting Volume Control with Selectable Impedance Magnification is a is a freestanding muting volume control mounted in a PVC junction box designed specifically for environmental use with a programmable automatic muting feature. It connects between a Niles Audio MVC HUB4 Distribution Hub (sold separately) and your speakers. You can adjust the volume of remotely located speakers to which they are connected by attenuating the amplifier signal. The mute button opens and closes a relay to turn those speakers on or off.

The WMVC100E 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.

In a typical application of IM controls, a system has eight pairs of 8-ohm speakers throughout the house and in outdoor locations. Connect each pair of speakers to an IM volume control with its switch in the 8x position, eliminating the need for an external impedance-matching device to protect the amplifier. Even when playing all eight speaker pairs at once, the amplifier runs at normal operating temperatures.

This product is also available as an in-wall volume controller in white.
