Product Research
Features
Outdoor Volume Control: The WVC 100E is a waterproof stereo speaker volume control that connects between the speaker-level output of an amplifier, speaker selector, or a Niles VCS HUB8 distribution hub and a pair of speakers. Premium-quality parts and construction ensure high-fidelity sound with flat frequency response and 100 watts continuous power handling.
- Audio Power Handling: 100 watts/channel RMS; 200 watts/channel peak music power
- Frequency Response: 20 to 20,000 Hz (+/-1.5 dB)
- Impedance: compatible with 4-, 6-, and 8-ohm speaker systems
PVC Enclosure: The volume control mounts in the supplied weatherproof PVC enclosure, which features a rubber gasket that seals out the moisture. The PVC enclosure has a paintable finish.
Universal Impedance Magnifying Circuit: A universal impedance magnifying circuit enables the WVC 100E to act as both a stereo and an impedance magnifying volume control. You can magnify the speakers' impedance by a factor of two, four, or eight, allowing you to connect up to eight pairs of speakers to a single amplifier or receiver.
- Isolated Grounds: Isolated left and right-channel grounds ensure safety with any amplifier.
- Impedance Compatibility: The WVC 100E can be used with 4-, 6-, or 8-ohm speaker systems.
12-Position Control + Autformers: The make-before-break switch design delivers 12-step, pop-free control for a wide range of listening volumes. Precision autoformers provide superior sonic performance, exceeding the audio quality of non-impedance magnifying volume controls.
Removable Screwless Speaker Connectors:
Mounting Options: The WVC 100E surface-mounts on a wall or mounts directly on a 3/4" PVC conduit. To install the WVC 100E, you will need a Phillips screwdriver and wire stripper.
- Volume Control: W=1.529", H=4.071", D=3.668"
- PVC Enclosure (with volume control installed): W=3.828", H=5.094", D=3.914"
Speaker Wire: Two piece, screwless speaker connectors make installation quick and secure. Each connector will accept stranded copper wire up to 14-gauge. Larger (lower gauge) wire is not recommended, as it will not fit into the connectors. Solid-core, aluminum, or "Romex" wire is not recommended. Most states require in-wall speaker wire to have a specific "CL" fire rating.

Good item for outdoor speakers, works well, only compaint I have is that the enclosure is a bit too small, try using 16 gauge speaker wire if you can, volume level is great, I would recommend this product to others.
