Installation Instructions  
XVC Series Volume Controls  
Xantech’s premier product line of XV volume controls are in-wall  
mountable stereo speaker volume control with impedance  
matching capability. From one to eight pairs or stereo speakers  
may be driven from one stereo power amplifier, using an equal  
number of XV volume controls. It maintains correct impedance  
matching between the amplifier and the speakers by the use of  
instant setting jumpers on the control. This eliminates the need  
for separate impedance matching components in multi-room  
installations.

Impedance Jumper Settings for Identical  
Impedance  
How to use the impedance jumper setting chart:  
1) Determine the minimum amplifier impedance (typically either  
4- or 8-Ohm). This information can usually be found next to the  
speaker outputs located on the receiver or amplifier. If in doubt,  
consult the receiver and/or amplifier instruction manual.  
2) Next, determine the impedance of a single speaker that will  
be used. Use the left-most column.  
3) Move to the right of the chart and find the number of speaker  
pairs that you plan to connect to the volume control.  
4) Finally, move up the column to the very top row. This row will  
provide the jumper setting solution. Change the jumper on the  
volume control to complete the impedance jumper setting  
procedure. Both jumpers must be changed appropriately  
(see diagram in Fig. 1)

CHART B: 4 Ohm Minimum Amplifier  
 
Example 1:  
Two pairs of 8 Ohm ceiling speakers are to be used with two  
volume controls, all driven by a single amplifier rated for 8 Ohm  
minimum safe operating load impedance.  
1) Refer to “CHART A”, 8 Ohm Minimum Amplifier.  
2) In the first column, find “8 Ohms”.  
3) Follow the row to the right until you find “2 PAIR”.  
4) Follow the column up to the very top row and find that the  
jumper setting should be set to “x2” for both volume  
controls.  
Installation Tip – Setting the Volume  
1) Set your receiver and/or amplifier to the lowest possible  
volume setting.  
2) Turn all the volume controls to maximum volume (up  
position for slider volume controls, full clockwise position  
for rotary volume controls).  
3) Turn up the receiver and/or amplifier volume setting until  
you reach the maximum listening level desired.  
4) Finally, lower the volume control level. Volume setting is  
now complete.  
Changing the Face Plate  
1) Gently press the tabs  
up on all four corners.  
2) Lift the face plate off  
the metal frame and  
remove.  
3) Replace with the  
correct color face plate.
