Introduction The Volume Controller Volume 8 serves as a system-independent analog volume regulator in all areas of audio processing and playback, including • Stereo and surround music production • Movie and video post production, video computer games production • Demanding hi-fidelity/home cinema applications Complementing the fully equipped SPL Surround Monitoring Controller (SMC 2489), the Volume 8 focuses exclusively on the highest quality in active volume control.
Installation and Security Advices Important Notes Be very careful to check that the rear chassis power selection switch is set to the correct local line voltage position (either 230 or 115 volts) before using your machine! Before connecting any equipment make sure that any machine to be connected is turned off (on the Volume2 rear panel the power switch must be pushed down).
Rear Panel Power Supply, On/Off Switching Be sure before connecting the Volume 8 to power that the rear-chassis voltage supply is switched to the proper local rating (either 230 or 115 volts). Above all, before connecting any machines, take additional care to power down all those to be used (and move the rear-chassis power supply switch of the Volume 8 to the “down“ position).
Rear Panel Unbalanced Connections (i. e. RCA, TS Jack) You can establish unbalanced connections easily and without adaptors – for example from CD-Players with RCA outputs or to (HiFi) power amplifiers with RCA inputs. It is important to pay attention to the correct polarity of the three XLR wires. Connections to RCA and TS Jack inputs or outputs are always unbalanced. Connections to TRS inputs or outputs may be balanced or unbalanced.
Operation Mute You guessed it ... this switch mutes all speaker outputs. It is particularly valuable in panic situations, for example, if the computer crashes and its converters suddenly output uncontrolled high level noise. It is also very useful in any case where one simply wants silence without changing the Volume settings—e. g. to answer the telephone. IMPORTANT: When making any cable connection changes, you should not only activate the mute switch, but follow the on/off powering procedures noted on p.
