Good Luck! Feb 18, ]. Good luck [ Ali Feb 18, ]. We do not have any adapters or parts to shrink the size of the wire to make it fit into this controller. We often offer volume controls that can handle bigger wire.
I recommend contacting an advisor by calling to check our current inventory [ Paul Mar 09, ] Staff. I have, and it's worked out fine [ Angus Shea Sep 25, ]. Yes, the VCSK will control the volume on the pair of Amplified Speakers, However I find that as you add additional pairs of stereo speakers you will need the assistance of a Niles speaker Selector system to balance the output from the receiver.
I hope this information help you with your application. As long as you are replacing a part that only has the volume control, then I do anticipate this working in place of the older part.
However, we do have advisors that you reach by calling who can try to track down the specifications on the gear you have now to check if this can work in place of it. Hi Blair, you may want to reach out to Niles Customer Support at They should be able to assist you in finding the proper replacement for your existing gear. Hi, ultimately I would ask a Crutchfield person, but Ii have 5 sets of Polk rc series ceiling speakers.
I think they are 8 ohms. This is done with the help of a Niles 8 speaker splitter I think it is called the VC8model. So basically, you wire speaker wire from the amp to the miles unit, and then you can run up to 8 sets of left and right speakers. I also included Niles volume controls for each room by wiring from the 8 way splitter to the specific volume knob then to the speaker. I can manually control the sound in each room by using the volume knobs. I hope this helps but feel free to ask if I was unclear.
I'm sorry but that is really a technical question that I'm not prepared to answer. I ordered the control to replace one that had quit working. If you purchased the product from Crutchfield, feel free to contact our Tech Support team. Our toll-free Tech Support number is printed on your invoice, and is also available under the "My Orders" tab in the "My Account" section of our website.
If you did not purchase the unit from Crutchfield, then you may want to contact the manufacturer. Yes, but you do not need 2 layers of impedance protection, so a speaker block with these volume controls might be more appropriate.
I use 4 of these one in each room with a niles 4 speaker selector and it works great. Nice to be able to control the volume in each room. Yes you can completely shut off the sound. I have a similar set up. Not off but generally speaking so low you can't hear anything. If the volume from the receiver is at full volume you might hear something and I can't with my system. With multiple rooms and only some have the Niles volume control all sound great.
Yes you can. I am assuming you mean four speakers and not four speaker pairs. However the manual says this unit has capacity for eight speaker pairs. I only installed one pair of outdoor Klipsch speakers and the unit works great. I'm running four 8-ohm speakers to this same volume control. The connectors inside the volume control aren't really wide enough to accept two pairs of speaker wire to be connected directly to the volume control.
Instead, you will need to connect one pair directly to this volume control unit, then connect the second pair of speakers in parallel to the first pair. Then follow the instructions for the correct switch setting for the total number of pairs of speakers you are running from your amp. If these are the only 4 speakers, then you will set the switch for two 8-ohm pairs.
If you have other volume controls and speakers for the same amp, you will need to take those into consideration when setting the impedance matching switch. Yes just connect to one of the terminals. As long as signal is mono coming in. The W rating is for the speakers connected to the load side of the control: I. I had about 8 "areas" and 8 switches all driven by a 1, watt RMS amp Thanks for your question. For information on comparing two or more models I would recommend reaching out to an Advisor by phone or online chat.

SpeakerCompare tailors your listening experience to the exact headphones you have, so that what you hear is comparable to auditioning speakers side-by-side in person.
Two different listening modes. In an actual listening room, you'd find that some speakers play louder than others when fed the same amount of power. In equal power mode, you'll hear these differences in loudness as they naturally occur between speakers. In equal volume mode, we've made the loudness of each speaker about the same. This gives you a more direct comparison of subtle voicing differences between speakers. Nothing beats listening to speakers in your space.
SpeakerCompare gives you a sense of the sonic differences. But performance in the real world is affected by the acoustics of your car or home, your choice of amplification, and your source material.
