5. Use parallel wirin techniques to connect multiple volume
controls to a sin le commercial amplifier. (see dia ram
below)
6. Use parallel wirin techniques to connect multiple speakers
to a sin le volume control.
7. NOTE: Never exceed the volume control watta e ratin by
connectin hi her watta e speakers or multiple speakers
where the combined speaker watta e ratin s exceed that of
the volume control. Example: Usin a 10 watt volume
control: connect 10 commercial speakers with transformers
tapped at 1 watt each for a total watta e of 10 watts.
Connectin 10 commercial speakers tapped at 5 watts each
equals 50 watts. This would overload a 10 watt volume
control. The solution would be to use a VC-75.
8. Once the parallel wirin connections are made re-connect
the terminal block to the volume control.
9. Place the volume control in a sin le an electrical box and
screw it into place usin the included mountin screws.
