Questions and Answers:
By Thomas from Florida on March 5, 2012
If the white stickers ripped of the wires, how can you tell the input wires to the volume control? Is this possible without opening up the control box? I can see one pair of the white/black wires says input but I do not want to assume the other white/black pair is the other input.

Thank you

Answer:
Hi Thomas,
Please remove the faceplate of the unit by unscrewing the four screws and then remove the knob (it slides off). There is a rubber nut you must unscrew (we find it helpful to use a pair of needle-nose pliers for this). Take off the faceplate and press the wires in one by one to determine which set is on top. The top wires are the outputs. The bottom wires are the inputs. I will email you a picture of the OVC305R with the white labels so you can see which are positive and negative.

Great product! Installed easily into a hole I cut in my siding on the back patio. Placed it in the hole, connected the wires and used foam sealer to hold it in place and keep moisture out. Painted the unit to match the siding and looks like a original construction install. Works exactly how a volume control should! - Dan

Super high quality feel and sound at a great price! Love the make-before-break feature. Description says: The speaker wire inserts use lock clips and are detachable allowing. Mine came with long leads already attached - even better! - Anonymous

did not know the control board was prewired and wires labelled, this made wiring very easy with use of junction box; quality was better than expected, price was very good - HandyMan Jim

Shipping was fast, I ordered on Monday and UP S package arrived on Tuesday. Hook up to my outdoor speakers, great sound quality and price is good. - Denny

Fast shipment and easy to install...No more running into the house to raise or lower the volume. Solid construction and very sturdy. - JC

I first purchased the 300 units. I had a problem with using those in my system. I exchanged those for the 305. NO PROBLEM with these. In just hook up the first one and I am extremely happy. I have to say, I was a bit leery do to the price $30.00. Its only been a few minites since I hooked the first one up, but I feel I will have a long time of enjoyment with this volume control. I also purchased there rock speakers # 690's. Very happy with this product too. I replaced my stereo stones speekers that cost alot more and my 690 sound just as good if not a little better. Well, I am going down to my dock to hook up the second one. Customer service is top notch and delivery was very fast. Thanks for your help OSD when I was having a problem, U ROCK Stephen - Deep Sea Angler

I use this to control two outdoor speakers on my patio. My setup is kind of overkill but the unit works great. The unit is kind of large and one thing from an aesthetic point of view, is that the wire exit is not on center. I also unscrewed the faceplate and flipped it around so the lowest volume setting was in the bottom left corner. I ued a junction box placed right on top to make the connections. The wires from the unit were clearly labeled making setup a breeze. I'm wishing now that I got the grey color so it matched the conduit better. It's only been about two weeks and the white is already starting to turn yellow. Not sure why I didn't think of this... - nabrno

fast shipping - Thom
