SpeakerCraft VCR120 Owner's Manual

OWNER'S MANUAL
Stereo Volume Controls
The SpeakerCraft VCR60/120 is a wall mount stereo volume control. It connects between the speaker level out-
put of an amplifier, receiver or speaker selector and a pair of speakers.

Control Placement

When deciding where the volume control will be mounted in the wall, consider the various ways it will be
used. The primary listening area and the ease of running the wire to your chosen location are the important
things to keep in mind. The most common locations to mount volume controls are by the door as you walk
into the room, next to existing wall fixtures, or in the area that you will be listening to music. If you do not
understand any part of these instructions, please contact your audio dealer. Improper wiring could cause dam-
age to your audio system.
Do not put the control into the same box as a
110VAC circuit (i.e. light switch, electrical outlet, etc.).
Speaker wires can act as an "antenna" for electri-
cal noise. Locating speaker wires too close to a light
switch or dimmer may cause a buzzing or popping
sound to be heard through the speakers. If you must
locate the VCR60/120 near electrical devices, use a
separate electrical box.
Once a location has been chosen, you may install the
control by using a standard single gang plaster ring,
or a single gang electrical box (light switch type).

Wiring the VCR60/120

(See Figure #1)
Caution: Please make sure your amplifier or receiver
is off before proceeding.
The VCR60/120 features SpeakerCraft's simple con-
nect system. This system is quicker and more secure
than other methods and eliminates the need for turning small
screws.
For best results, strip all wire no more than 1/4" from the end.
Push the wire completely into the opening on the connector then
depress the lever using your finger or screwdriver. This will secure
the wire (see Figure #2). If you need to remove the wire, simply
lift the lever. This can be done with your finger, but it may be
easier to use a screwdriver or similar tool. With the lever lifted, pull
the wire out.
1. Connect the amplifier's or receiver's left speaker output to the
left amplifier terminals of the volume control, please observe
proper polarity of the connections (+ amplifier to + input on
the control).
2. Repeat step 1 for the right.
