Anleitung Zusammenfassung
DO use only a power limited listed or recognized stereo amplifier to power this product DON’T install near a telephone or intercom master. (70 Volt Peak Maximum / 20Hz-20kHz). INSTRUCTIONS FOR IMPEDANCE- MATCHING VOLUME CONTROLS Introduction By matching the minimum output impedance of the receiver or amplifier and adjusting volume, M&S™ impedance-matching volume controls eliminate the need for speaker selector boxes or other impedance matching equipment. Determining the Jumper Setting for Impedance Matching To protect the amplifier from overload and damage, the jumper must be set in a position that correctly multiplies the impedance of the speaker system to a level that is equal to or greater than the impedance of the amplifier. For reference: All M&S™ Ceiling and In-Wall speakers are 8-Ohm. Step #1 Determine the amplifier’s minimum impedance. (The amp’s minimum impedance is usually found following Wattage and Frequency Response in the amplifier’s specification page of the manual. It may also be listed on the back panel of the amplifier near the speaker terminals). Impedance is measured in Ohms (8- and 4-ohm systems are common). Impedance-Matching Volume Controls Only NUMBER OF JUMPER 8-OHM PAIRS SETTINGS 1 2X 2 2X З 4X 4 4X 5 8X б 8X 7 8X 8 8X Jumper Settings Cutaway Note: Be sure every jumper setting is set the same throughout the system! IMPEDANCE-MATCHING WIRING INSTRUCTIONS Electrical Boxes and P-Rings The mounting depth of the volume control is 2W from the face plate to the back of the control. You must use an extended depth box to accommodate the volume control. A P-Ring can be used as an alternative if local building codes allow. Wiring Instructions For best results, use M&S 16-gauge stranded MS16X5 copper speaker wire. Never use solid-core, aluminum or "Romex" type wire with volume controls. Step #1 Strip about 1/4" of the insulation off the ends of all wires. Twist the exposed ends to eliminate loose strands. Step #2 Connect the leads from the Receiver/Amplifier to the volume control connector labeled INPUT. Insert the LEFT L(+) and L(-) into the corresponding connector openings. Tighten the screws firmly, making sure that the exposed wire is engaged, not the insulation! Step #3 Repeat process while connecting R(+) and R(-) wires from the amplifier. Step #4 Connect the speaker wires to the connector labeled OUTPUT. Observe channel and polarity output. Step #5 Install the completed assembly into the junction box. Insert carefully to reduce strain on the connectors. If necessary, pre-dress the wires for easiest mounting. Speaker Pair VOLUME CONTROL OPERATION 1. Make sure the amplifier or receiver is OFF and set the amp volume to minimum. 2. Set the volume control volume to maximum (fully clockwise). 3. Turn on the amplifier or receiver and select a music source, such as radio tuner or CD player. 4. Slowly turn up the amplifier or receiver volume and set it to a comfortable (not maximum) listening level. BE CAREFUL NOT TO OVERDRIVE YOUR AMPLIFIER. If the sound becomes muddy or distorted, you have reached the limit of your amplifier’s volume capacity and should quickly reduce the volume to avoid damaging your speakers. 5. Use the M&S™ volume control to adjust the volume of the speakers to the desired listening level in each room. 6. Turn off the speakers in a room by turning the knob on the volume control completely counter-clockwise. Step #2 Determine the total number of speaker pairs. Step #3 Use the chart below to determine the correct jumper settings. Step #4 Set the jumpers. TM...
