The maximum number of VC100PM's per amplifer is
dependent on the minimum speaker impedence
rating of the amplifier or receiver.
Suggest minimum 18 gauge speaker wire and 12-16

STEREO VOLUME CONTROL
Information and
Installation Guide
TM
TM
Congratulations for choosing the finest stereo
volume control available. To assure correct
installation and to realize the full potential of this
new volume control, please read and follow
these instructions carefully. If you have questions
or comments, please don't hesitate to call or
write your Knöll dealer.
Knöll transformer free high power room volume
controls are designed to fit standard electrical
junction boxes (J-boxes). Standard plate colors
are white, bone, black and brass. Plates can be
decora or standard style. The VC100pm has a
power capacity of 100 watts RMS per channel
with 400 watt peaks for 5 seconds permissible.
Speakers can be 4-16 ohms. The VC100pm
features floating independent grounds so bridged
amplifiers can be safely used. Frequency
response is DC to 500,000 Hz +/- 0.1 dB at all
power levels up to 400 watts. THD and IM
distortion is barely measurable. Depending on
the amplifier powering the system, up to 24
VC100pm's can be safely connected to the
amplifier. See the chart.
INSTALLATION TIPS:
1. Follow all electrical and building code requirements
in your area.
2. It is not necessary to install the VC100pm in an
electrical junction box. Make sure the VC100pm white
elements do not touching anything, especially plastic
vapor barriers. To obtain full power rating, the
VC100pm heat needs to be ventilated. When installing
the VC100pm in an electrical box, remove the bottom
and top knockouts or drill holes to let heat dissipate.
3. Never install the VC100pm in the same electrical
junction box as high voltage equipment (110 volt +)
unless an approved barrier separates high from low
voltage equipment.
4. Speaker wire can be solid or stranded.
5. Wires can either be home run from each VC100pm
to the amplifier or looped from room to room. Wire
both L/R speaker outputs from the amplifier or receiver
to the VC100pm inputs. Loop VC100pm inputs to other
VC100pm inputs.
6. Proper polarity is essential to achieve best speaker
sound quality with maximum output & performance

Be careful to wire the + or positive terminals of
the amplifier, volume control and speakers together.
Never connect left and right channel wires of the
positive OR ground together as amplifier damage
may result. The - or negative terminals of the
amplifier, volume control and speakers must be
wired as shown in the diagram.
7. Wire the VC100pm speaker outputs to the
correct speaker terminals as indicated on the
VC100pm connector.
