Congratulations on your purchase of SpeakerCraft’s VST60fc Stereo Volume Control.

The LiftLock™ Wire Connecting System allows for easy installation.

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 common 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, electrical 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.

Caution:

If the input and output connections are reversed the minimum setting on the volume control would present a short across the amplifier or receiver output terminals. This may seriously damage your amplifier or receiver. Please double check steps 1 though 4. This volume control cannot be connected in series with another volume control.
