OVC300 300W Outdoor Volume Control Self-Impedance Matching
Question:
I am looking to purchase an outdoor volume controller - it will control 1 or 2 sets of speakers. Question - which of the three outdoor volume controllers available should I choose? Thanks
Answer:
If you have only one pair of speakers then you can use OVC305 or VC60 outdoor volume control.
If you have more than two pair of outdoor speakers then you need the self-impedance matching volume controls - SVC100 or SVC300 depend on the power rating of your speakers.
Question:
I am looking for a mono volume control for one speaker of three run by a 250 watt amp. Will the OVC 300 do the trick?
Answer:
Yes it will do that, just connect one side of the volume control (ie. Left in and left out)
Question:
I run three sets of outdoor speakers using an Onkyeo 7.1 SR-506 75w@8ohms per channel system with the following setup:
Front Left/Right Channels > OVC300 > pair of AP650
Rear Left/Right Chanels > OVC300 > pair of PA-AW650
Rear Surround Channels > OVC300 > pair of PA-AW650
I keep burning the OVC300 connected to the front channel L/R. I know there are instructions to set the switch based on number of speakers, but I wasn't clear on if that means speakers per OVC300 control, speakers per channel, or speakers per system. I have 2 speakers per channel, but 3 pairs of speakers, or 6 total, overall. I was hoping not to have to degrade the power of the receiver via the OVC300 speaker selection switch, so I still have enough juice to power the 3 sets of speakers adequately.
Now I see you have a OVC305R - how is that different than the OVC300? It's a hassle to replace the volume control so I want to get it right this time. I need to replace the burnt OVC300, so what do you recommend?
Answer:
The setup you have is not correct. You want to connect all three pair of your speakers to the left/right channel of your receiver in parallel wiring. You want to setup all of your OVC300 in 4X jumper setting.
Don't use your rear or center channel of your receiver to power speaker unless you want to do 7.1 Dolby digital.
Question:
I purchased the OSD Audio Outdoor Volume Contol (OSD HD-OVC300) from outdoor speakerdepot along with a pair of Rock speakers. To save me the trouble of disassembling the mounted volume control box, could you tell me what the factory setting is set to for Impedance setting (1/2x, 4x, 8x) ? This would be much appreciated. Love your products and prices so far. Thank you.
Answer:
The factory default setting is 1/2x, with our new easy jumper setting design, you can adjust the jumper from the bottom of the volume control. Just look from the bottom hole of the volume control, you should see the jumper setting there. We are the only factory that use this easy setup.

We installed the speakers on our youth facility at our church and they sound amazing. Clarity, power, range...it's all there. So easy to install...thanks OSD...we WILL be back! - soreal

Easy installation. Works great with my new outdoor Yamaha speakers. - Mark R

I am a customer for life!!! I love shopping here. You can't beat the price, quality, and customer service. - Mike

Volume control is great. can't beat the price nor the sound quialty very impresive Thanks - Karl

installed and working very quickly and nicely. only a slight reduction in power (which i am assuming is expected with one of these) at 100%. reduces all the way down to 0. very happy. - sphen

Great product and shipped as expected. After the product arrived I emailed the vendor and asked for a couple terminals be sent to me and it was done promptly, but an email response would have been nice. Bottom line is a great product was shipped as ordered, so thank you! - Dave

Second time I ordered from them - very easy, decent price, and shipped on time. - Jim

The items purchased were delivered as stated on time and have worked great in the application for which they were intended. I made my decision to buy from this merchant due to the great reports that I read concering the great products and service thay have provided to others. - Rick

i was very satisfied the price and quality of this volume switch.i have great plans for the future! - eric

Very happy with units. Setup in a three zone stereo system. One tip: Open all boxes as soon as you get them as one of mine had a resistive volume control instead of the impedance matching version. I then had to get an RMA and return it. - the609band

My dad has a party area on his deck. It was always a pain to get up, go inside, to adjust the speaker volume on the deck (some songs are louder then other). Now we can adjust the volume right on the deck without leaving. Some songs come on that we want to jam to so we crank it, other times we have a good conversation going so we turn it down. Never thought something so simple to use would be so worth it. Wish I would've bought one size bigger to handle a bigger load...I guess more is always better! - Number One Son

I purchased a ovc300 I'm having trouble with the volume . I connected the wires on the receiver to the right and left speaker inputs positive to positive and negative to negative then I connected the speaker wires to the input side of the volume control in the same order, then i ran the speaker wires to the two speakers and connected the speaker wires to the output in the same order the two speaker sound don't sound right when I turn the volume up on the ovc300 the one speaker is louder than the other. when I turn down the volume one speaker you can't here at all.
By Customer Service - Q&A on October 19, 2011

Answer:

Volume control are designed to attenuate the sound (turn it down). You have to make sure the output from the receiver/amplifier is properly balanced and set to the maximum comfort listening level. This is when the volume control is turned all the way to the right (fully open with no attenuation). You can also bypass the volume control to make sure you have the balance and volume levels set properly. Also make sure you have set the impedance to 1/2X on the volume control.
