Question: Can you turn the volume all the way off with the AE100VC?
Document: Not quite sure what the problem is with these controls but I have one for my family room speakers and one for my out door speakers and when you turn the volume up about one sixth of the way it trips the overload on stereo receiver. I disconnected them and now I have complete volume control through the remote on my receiver. They are not what I thought they would be. I am no longer using the volume controls. They are disconnected.
In our last house I purchased Niles Impedance Matching Volume controls - we had 4 zones in that house. We had that system setup and in use for around 4 years when the one outside just stopped working (even though it controlled our outside zone - it was under a covered patio that was actually an extension of the roof so there was no way any rain came near the unit or the speakers mounted in the ceiling).
I wish I had planned these for each set of speakers in our home from start. We have 5 sets of speakers running off one amplifier from a switchable speaker selector. Each pair has a different volume. If each pair has a volume control you can not only raise/lower but also turn off if needed from each remote location. Nice to have that control.
I also do not really like the knob. I've ordered two of these and each of the two is different. One has more positions than the other, but they both have a pretty rough turn to them and have a clicking sound when you adjust them. Its not a big deal though, most of the time it stays in one position anyway. Overall its a decent product and works well at adjusting the volume.
I have two of these controlling one set ofPyle Home PWRC61 6.5-Inch 2-Way In-Ceiling Weather Proof Stereo Speaker (Pair)and one set ofPyle Home PDIC61RD 6.5-Inch Two-Way In-Ceiling Speaker System (Pair).It controls the volume really well and the instructions that come with it are very clear. The only problem is how big it is. If you are able, be sure to install an extra deep outlet box for this control.
installed this in my client dressing room for them to be able to turn the stereo up or down and it works perfectly. The lowest setting turns the volume completely off which I didn't find happening on other brands. You need to purchased a low voltage box to install this in. It WILL NOT fit easily into a standard electrical box without cutting it mostly apart to accommodate for the size of the electronics.
Every time I find a product that is better than a big name brand which costs over twice as much as my new find, I am very happy.This volume control is built to last, very heavy duty. It handles variable impedance depending on your speakers and amplifier, the company includes 3 different colors of face plates, the wiring board easily removes to make wire install so much easier, the control nob is easy to turn but has very distinct detents for noting which level the volume is set at.
We just ordered our 4th AudioSource AE100VC Impedance Matching Volume Control unit, after several months of using the first 3 units.We have a relatively high end AV system, and the 2nd and third zones are powered by a separate 250W Onkyo analogue amplifier. One of the zones has two of the volume control units powering two pairs of Klipsch ceiling mounted speakers.
The new volume control unit will control another set of the OSD RX805 outdoor speakers that we just purchased from Amazon (another great product for the money).Overall -- the AudioSource AE100VC volume control units are excellent. The incremental volume control provides very accurate volume control, and the indicator on the control knob makes it easy to see if the volume is turned off.One of the best value for money purchases we have made.
Pros: Decent instructions. Relatively easy to install.Cons: Screws for attaching wires are tiny, so get a set of jeweler screwdrivers.Other notes. This just worked. As for the large inner workings, I would recommend using a low voltage bracket, and not a standard electrical box. Although screw for attaching wires are tiny, I suppose I don't see any other way they could have done it, so jeweler screwdrivers (phillips in this case) are needed.
Answer: Its off or so low i cannot hear it
