Abstract
A powered volume control is provided for a distributed audio system having a plurality of remote speakers. An amplifier or signal conditioner is provided having a dual channel amplified signal from a high impedance source. The amplified or conditioned signal is provided to a plurality of remotely located powered volume controls having high input impedance and further having internal amplifiers which provide a dual or mono-channel amplified signal having an amplitude or magnitude determined by a user variable adjustment device. The amplified signal is then provided to one or more remote speakers. Each volume control is designed for in-wall installation in a single-gang wall box and may be covered by an ornamental face plate. The system is also designed to utilize existing four conductor speaker wire for installation or retrofitting existing distributed audio systems.
