VST60fc Stereo Volume Control
With Fast Connect Terminals
Volume Control
The SpeakerCraft VST60fc is a wall mount stereo volume control. It connects between
the speaker level output of an amplifier, receiver or speaker selector and a pair of speak
-
ers.
Control Placement
When deciding where the volume control will be mounted in the wall, consider the
various ways it will be used. The primary listening area and the ease of running the
wire to your chosen location are the important things to keep in mind. The most com
-
mon locations to mount volume controls are by the door as you walk into the room,
next to existing wall fixtures, or in the area that you will be listening to music. If you do
not understand any part of these instructions please contact your
SpeakerCraft dealer. Improper wiring could cause damage to your audio system.
Do not put the control into the same box as a 110VAC circuit. (i.e. light switch, elec
-
trical outlet, etc.) Speaker wires can act as an "antenna" for electrical noise. Locating
speaker wires too close to a light switch or dimmer may cause a buzzing or popping
sound to be heard through the speakers. If you must locate the VST60fc near electrical
devices, use a separate electrical box.
Once a location has been chosen, you may install the control after you have first
installed a standard single gang plaster ring, or a single gang electrical box (light switch
type).
Wiring the VST60fc
(See Figure #1)
Caution: Please make sure your amplifier or receiver is off before proceeding.
The VST60fc features SpeakerCraft's Fast-Connect system. This system makes installation
quick and easy.
When placing the wire into the fast connect terminals, strip the wire no more than 1/4”
from the end. Push the wire completely into the opening then tighten with a screw
-
driver. This will secure the wire see (Figure #2).
To remove the wire simply unscrew the clamp and remove the wire.
1. Connect the amplifier's or receiver's left speaker output to the left side of the
Fast-Connect (fc) amplifier input terminal. Connect the amplifier's or receiver's
right output to the right side of the fc amplifier terminal. Please observe
proper polarity of the connections (+ to +, - to -).
2. Connect the left speaker cable to the left speaker output fc terminal. Connect
the right speaker cable to the right speaker output fc terminal. Please observe
proper polarity of the connections (+ to +, - to -).
3. When you are ready to install the volume control, plug the amplifier input fc
terminal into the terminal marked amplifier on the volume control. Plug the
speaker output fc terminal into the terminal marked speakers on the volume control.
