Niles VCS100K

Works great. I had to split a signal from my receiver to two rooms. The impedance matching feature allowed me to do that and control each room separately. Crutchfield helped me to select the right components and one call to Technical Support helped the installation go smoothly.

I had a little trouble routing wires around the device to achieve clearance but by my 2nd volume control install, I had it figured out. Performance is excellent as I had hoped.

Works as advertised

These work fine as advertised and are likely very useful for certain applications such as legacy receivers (no WiFi or Bluetooth). If you have a WiFi receiver and typically modulate your volume with your phone or iPad, etc, but you just have to keep the knobs in your system (you don't want to patch drywall or install blank plates), I highly recommend leaving the volume knob at its MAX or near max volume setting. Not knowing, I used to run my music with the knobs at medium and if I wanted to crank the music for a party, would dial it up on my phone only. This caused my receiver to work extra hard and burned up one of the amps after about 2 years. I might not have needed to swap out the builder-installed knobs but did so just to be safe. The music in my kitchen sounds the best with the niles knobs left at max and volume control done exclusively on my phone.

Great volume controller. The only issue is that it is a little difficult putting in the receiver and amplifier wires by yourself.

Easy to install, however with 14 gauge wire it was a tight fit. Nice that it comes with 4 different colors for the face plates. Has worked perfectly to allow us to listen to our Zone 2 music source while working outside or sitting around the firepit.

Easy install and well-made

This is just what I was looking for. I have speakers in n nearby room and needed to control the volume in that room otherwise it take two people to set the volume and turning it down quickly would mean running to the other room. It was easy to install. It was heavier than expect so the quality surprised me in todays cheap components. I with that the control was a slider more than 10 clicks. I just installed but I am sure there will be times when I want it set between click 5 and 6. Having the optional colors for the faceplate was a surprise as well. I called Crutchfield for a recommendation stating what I needed to do and this was recommended. Only installed yesterday but works great.

I installed 3 way speakers in my kitchen, opting for excellent sound quality. With that came a higher volume that those speakers provide (matching another set in another room). This device is fantastic, allowing me to lower the volume easily in that room, without affecting the volume coming out of the main speakers that supply the other rooms (I'm hard wired: old historic house, thick walls, some are stone). The sound quality and volume potential were not compromised with adding this in.

Niles has perfected the in-wall volume control

After purchasing multiple in-home volume controls, Niles has nailed the perfect volume control with ease of installation and performance boost. In days of past with in-wall volume controllers having tiny pin adapters to connect the wires, which either never hold or strip, Niles has perfected this with cam locks that make wire installation a snap. Going one step further, Niles has also incorporated variable amplification to further tune-in your sound. I would give this product 6 stars but I suppose 5 will have to do.

Multi-Room Must Have!

At first I was concerned it would have some distortion or wouldn't keep my outdoor in-ceiling speakers as loud as I wanted. But after instal (which is very simple) they sound great through this volume control!

Great "Detent" Type Volume Control

I used this switch on the interior side of the wall to control a pair of Polk RC80i speakers installed in an exterior Lanai is Southern Florida. The switch works great, and I can tell no distortion in the sound. The only "thing" I experienced is, the music source needs to be set at its Highest volumn to get a high volume out of the speakers. I made sure the switch's adjustable ohm setting matched the speakers (8 ohm), but it still might be due to something I did during installation! It really isn't that big if a deal though due to my receiver/speaker set-up. Was just a little surprising, that's all! The switch fits perfectly in either an "old-work" drywall ring or box, as long as the wall is thick enough. Mine went into a cut CMU block wall, but 2 x 4 framed wall should be deep enough! It also comes with a variety of different color wall plates and control knobs! One thing to maybe note is note that the switch is a Rotary "Detent" type switch, meaning it's various volume settings are "pre-set" by Eleven specific click positions (12 positions of you include "off"). That might be important to some folks.

Below Average at Best

The potentiometer in this device must be a $2.00 part. Stay with me and I'll explain. SETUP: I'm driving 4 pairs of in wall speakers rated at +/- 100 watts each with a Mark Levinson 27.5 amp through an ADCOM six speaker switch box. Each pair of speakers has a stereo Hi Fidelity Motronics volume control at the speaker locations. My sources include a tuner, CD player and MacBook Pro iTunes with Apple Lossless files I recorded. PROBLEM: This Niles volume control has almost no volume or volume control between the 7 and 12 o'clock position. The 6 o'clock position is off. (yes, I've tried all the impedance positions) That means you cannot listen at lower db volumes with any discernible Hi Fi information because there is nothing to hear. By the way my Hi Fidelity Motronics volume control devices resolve excellent Hi Fi sound from the 7 o'clock position around to the 5 o'clock max. CONCLUSION: If you intend to use this device in a location where you will be playing the music above the 12 o'clock position it will do the job but don't expect Hi Fi sound quality and if you want to play your music at high db levels look elsewhere. This is a seriously poor product considering the price point. Good Luck.

Purchase, delivery and functionality all were and are excellent. Never have used any other in-wall volume control system, so I have not comparison to make. Having the ability to impedance match seems like a good idea, but I have no experience with not doing so, therefore cannot comment.
