The ALT-70V-50 volume control is designed to add local or zone volume control to any 70V audio system. The removable screw-down speaker connector accepts up to 12ga wire and the 11 steps of attenuation with make-before-break connections means that you’ll always have smooth control over the system volume. It can be used with both 25V and 100V systems as long as the total power does not exceed 50 watts.
Powerful 50-watt handling capability
With a 50-watt transformer, the ALT-70V-50 is perfect for controlling all of the speakers within a room, handling up to 6 speakers tapped at 7.5 watts or up to 12 speakers tapped at 3.75 watts. You can even use the volume control as a master zone control with sub zones as long as the total wattage on all subzones doesn’t exceed 50 watts.
Decora-Style
The Decora design allows for easy pairing with other Decora accessories or for use in a multi-gang plate design. Each ALT70V-50 includes Decora plates, inserts, and knobs in white, light almond, and ivory for flexibility in installing any of these colors as desired.
Make-before-break design
All of the switch positions of the ALT-70V-50 use a make-before-break design, meaning that as you turn the knob, the volume will ramp up or down smoothly, with no breaks in the sound. The electrical connection to the next step is always made before the connection of the previous step is broken. The result: smooth sound adjustment at any volume level.
Removable screw-down connector
Russound knows how much easier it is to wire a volume control with a removable connector, reducing the amount of time spent on the job site and simplifying any future servicing/updates to a system. The screw-down terminals guarantee an ultra-reliable connection that will last for years.
