Summary of Contents for Channel Vision VC-302

  • Page 1 VC-302 Impedance Matching Volume Control...
  • Page 2 The VC-302 is an impedance matching volume control with an IR receiver knockout. The knockout allows Channel Vision’s IR-2400 to be integrated with the volume control for applications that require IR repeating. The VC-302 comes with white, ivory, and almond knobs and face plates to easily match other wall plates in the room.
  • Page 3 (wired to the same amplifier terminals) the resulting impedance is reduced. This is why impedance matching volume controls are used. The VC-302 provides three impedance magnifier settings: 1/2x, 4x, and 8x. These settings are used to magnify or compensate for low impedance loads that result from wiring multiple speakers in parallel.

  • Page 5 0.375 2.66 Ohms is much lower than the 8-Ohm minimum that he was supposed to connect to his amp Joe sets the jumpers on his VC-302 to the X4 position. This magnifies the impedance times 4. Thus: 2.66 ohms x 4 = 10.64 ohms. This is more than the 8-ohm minimum so...
  • Page 6 Suppose Joe Blow buys three VC-302 volume controls and connects each one in line before each pair of speakers. In this case the impedance of each pair of speakers is magnified so the impedance presented to the amplifier is more than the speaker’s nominal value. Suppose that Joe sets the jumper to the X4 position.
  • Page 7 Integrating an IR Receiver The IR-2400 can be easily mounted inside the VC-302 to provide inconspicuous IR repeating. IR-2400 IR receiver When using this option remember that the IR receiver will require its own wiring to connect back to an IR hub. IR signals will NOT run on the speaker wire.
  • Page 8 Channel Vision Technology will repair or replace any defect in material or workmanship which occurs during normal use of this product with new or rebuilt parts, free of charge in the USA, for ten years from the date of original purchase. This is a no hassle warranty with no mail in warranty card needed.
