Installation Instructions
PLEASE NOTE: Installation should be performed by qualied service personnel, and must meet all local building codes.
STEP 1: DETERMINE & SET IMPEDANCE MULTIPLICATION SETTINGS
1.) Count the total number of pairs of 4 Ohm and 8 Ohm speakers you are connecting. Count pairs of 6 Ohm speakers as
4 Ohm speakers.
2.) Determineiftheampliercansupporta4Ohmor8Ohmspeakerload.Youcantypicallyndthisinformationintheamplier
owner’s manual.
3.) Determine the correct impedance match jumper position from the charts shown below. See Figure 2ifyourampliercanhandle
a 4 Ohm speaker load. See Figure 3ifyourampliercanhandlean8Ohmspeakerload.
4.) Set the impedance match jumpers on all of the volume controls in the system to the same position (2X, 4X, 8X or 16X).
See Figure 1 below.
Figure 1
jumper set to 2X
Destination Audio does not recommend installing more than 8 volume controls in parallel. Destination Audio also does not recommend
installing more than two (2) 8 Ohm speakers per channel on each volume control without additional impedance protection.
PLEASE NOTE: High impedance match setting’s affect on volume
Settingtheimpedancematchjumpershigherthan2Xwillyieldlesspowerperpairofspeakers.Forexample:Anamplierratedat100
Watts per channel RMS into 8 Ohms is to be used for 8 pairs of speakers. In order to accommodate 8 pairs of 8 Ohm speakers, an 8X
impedancematchsettingmustbeused.Therefore,thiswilllimitthe100Wattsofpowerto12.5Wattsforeachspeakerpair,orone-
eighthoftheamplier’spower.

WARNING!
Make sure to set the impedance
match jumpers on all of the volume
controls in the system to the same
position, otherwise serious amplier
damage may occur.

STEP 2 (optional): CHANGETRIMCOLORSCHEME
This Destination Audio Volume Control comes with four different color scheme trim kits: White,Almond, Bone, Black and Brown. The
Volume Control comes with the White trim scheme, but you can change the color scheme by following these steps:
STEP 3: INSTALLATION
1.) Strip 1/ 4” to 3/ 8” of the insulation from the end of each wire and tightly twist the end of each wire until no frayed
ends remain.
2.) InserteachwirefromtheamplierintotheproperL+,L-,R+orR-input terminal and use a small screwdriver to
tighten each screw; see Figure 4. Make sure to observe proper polarity for each connection.
3.) InserteachwirefromthespeakersintotheproperL+,L-,R+orR-output terminal and use a small screwdriver to
tighten each screw; see Figure 4. Make sure to observe proper polarity for each connection.
4.) Insert both input and output terminals into the proper locations on the volume control; see Figure 5.
5.) Insert the volume control into the junction box and use the two longer screws to mount the volume control into
the junction box.
6.) Placetheoutertrimringontothevolumecontrolfaceandusethetwoshorterscrewstoafxtheoutertrimring
to the volume control.

1.) Use a small screwdriver or
other similar tool to gently push
the plastic tabs through the
metal back plate.
5.)Oncethenewslideknobisin
the new faceplate, check to make
sure it slides easily in the slot.
2.) Gently pry the faceplate off of
the metal back plate. 3.) Remove the slide knob by twisting to the left or right. 4.) Put the new slide knob into the new faceplate by twisting to
the left or right. Some bending
is normal and is to be expected.
8.)Gently(butrmly)pressthe
new plastic faceplate onto the
metal back plate. Then, check
for smooth and easy operation.
6.) Set the volume control’s level
to maximum and move the
slide knob to the top of the
faceplate.
7.)Alignthefaceplatetabsinthe
top two holes in the metal back
plate. Then, make sure the
other two plastic tabs align with
the other two holes in the metal
back plate.
