About the Metra ethereal VC700

 Volume control at the turn of a knob

Metra's VC700 offers versatile in-wall volume adjustment for any indoor room of your home. With adjustable impedance magnification — up to 8X the speakers' ohm rating — you can use a single amplifier to drive multiple pairs of speakers without worrying about dropping below your amp's minimum requirements. The VC700 gives you reliable performance at a reasonable price for rooms with in-wall or in-ceiling speakers. With three different color wall plates included, you can easily match it to your decor.

 Wire multiple speakers to the same amplifier channel

Wiring the VC700 is pretty straightforward. Connect your amplifier's left and right speaker outputs to the inputs on the back of the volume control. Then run separate wires from the VC700's outputs to a pair of recessed speakers. Be sure to use in-wall rated speaker wire during your installation. If you are wiring several volume controls to the same amplifier channels, consider using use Russound's EZB-8 connecting block to make plugging in multiple sets of wires more manageable.
