About this product
*POWER: The VMS100 is rated at 100 Watts peak, maintaining the full hi-fi audio frequency with minimal bass roll-off. Adjustable jumpers add up to eight pairs of eight ohm speakers simultaneously.
*VOLUME CONTROL: The controls allow you to adjust the volume up or down compatible with almost any dedicated audio zone or whole house sound system. It is ideal for dining rooms, saunas, and porches around the house.
*IMPEDANCE PROTECTION: This feature of VMS100 assists in stabilizing the ohm load going back to the amp or receiver with parallel connections to avoid overheating and damaging the amplifier.
*SOUND QUALITY: Wire a 12-step linear slider for pop-free control and a wide range of listening volumes. Precision electronics provide low distortion and ruler flat frequency response in a stereo system.
*DESIGN: For dedicated audio zones, the décor plates install easily into a wall and work with almost any system. It accepts up to 14 gauge wiring and fits in a standard gang box with a 2.9” depth.
Description
With a whole-house audio system, you’ll enjoy great sound in the rooms you choose, but one person may like to shake the roof off while the other likes it mellow. That's where volume controls come in very handy. OSD Audio’s wall-mounted volume controls are an affordable, easy way to control speaker volume independently in each zone. Whether you choose knob control or soft-touch sliders, OSD Audio offers convenience and style with colors to match any decor.

A Little about Volume Controls
Not every installation will require an impedance-matching volume control but it's important to know when you need it. A basic multi-room system will typically have an amplifier/receiver, a speaker selector, 4 to 8 pairs of speakers, and volume controls. To protect the amp, the speaker selector has impedance matching that you can turn on or off (manually) depending whether you have impedance matching volume controls.
More complex multi-room systems often have a volume control for each pair of speakers that is attached to the speaker selector. Impedance-matching volume controls provide more precise protection for the amplifier/receiver versus the protection built into the speaker selector. In fact, when adding impedance matching, you must turn off (disable) the protection in the speaker selector. Most impedance-matching volume controls feature three standard settings: 1/2x, 4x and 8x, while some add a 16-ohm setting like our VMS series. These settings correspond to a chart in the owner’s manual based upon the type of amplifier (4 or 8 ohm) and the number of 4 or 8 ohm speakers that you will be using in the multi-zone/room/speaker system.
