APPLICATION
Leviton’s Decora Strauss Transformer-Free and Transformer-
Free Impedance Matching Volume Controls, combined with
premium installed speakers, can be used to design a no-
compromise installed multi-room entertainment system that
delivers the best reproduction possible from today’s ultra-wide
bandwidth digital sources.
In multi-room distributed audio systems, the source of
undesirable speaker coloration (usually perceived as a “muffled”
sound) is often the volume control itself, because the audio
transformers (AKA: autoformers) used in conventional controls
can actually filter the bass and treble frequencies. The Decora
Strauss Transformer-Free Volume Controls use audio-grade
Cermetile resistors to change volume levels while leaving the
audio signal unaffected, resulting in ruler-flat frequency
response across the entire audible frequency range. Moreover,
the Decora Strauss Transformer-Free Volume Controls
eliminate the problem of “saturation” associated with
conventional volume controls with their ability to
instantaneously handle the full peak output power of any
consumer-grade amplifier on the market today.
The award-winning Decora Strauss Transformer-Free
Matching Controls are available in two versions: regular
and Impedance-Matching.
FEATURES AND BENEFITS
• Decora slide control with precision 12-positon switch
(including full OFF position)
• Transformer-Free attenuation technology ensures linear
frequency response, signal integrity and high power
handling ability
• Cermetile resistors replace conventional autoformers
to preserve audio signal purity
• Detachable cable connector is compatible with all standard
speaker wire sizes (14-18 gauge)
• Decora designer styling adds an elegant touch to any décor
• Can be used outdoors when mounted with any compatible
Decora all weather cover
