Niles MVC100R Auto-muting volume control with impedance magnification

White

These auto-muting in-wall volume controls from Niles let you fine-tune the way your multi-room audio system powers up throughout your home. Each volume control offers its own auto-muting circuit, so you can independently set each pair of speakers in your system to come on automatically when you turn on your system, or remain silent until manually activated via the in-wall control. Auto-muting is especially handy for outdoor speaker installations — you'll never accidentally surprise your friends or neighbors with unexpected sound when you fire up your system, regardless of where you've left the volume setting.

Note: You'll need to wire the in-wall control to a 12-volt power source, such as the Niles MVC HUB4.

These volume controls also offer impedance magnification, which lets you safely connect as many as 8 pairs of speakers to a typical receiver or amplifier. You won't have to install a speaker selector or any other type of protection device. If your amp's minimum impedance is 8 ohms, you can connect up to 8 pairs of 8-ohm speakers using these volume controls. If your amp's minimum impedance is 4 ohms, you can connect up to 16 pairs of 8 ohms speakers, or 8 pairs of 4 ohm speakers.
