Description of ๐Ÿ”Š Monoprice OVC300: Weather Resistant 300-Watt Outdoor Volume Control with Auto Impedance Matching - Gray (Model 138178)

Allows you to connect multiple speaker pairs to a single power amplifier or receiver. It increases (or decreases) the impedance of the connected speaker pair to ensure that the overall impedance level presented to the amplifier is high enough to prevent damage to the amplifier. It can support amplifiers with up to 300 watts of output power. Has a waterproof enclosure. Used in outdoor applications.

Weatherproof

Very impressed with the design and sealing of this switch. I installed it at my pool and was very impressed with the quality. Easy to install with a chart sticker attached directly to the unit. The ohm selector allowed me to adjust it to my needs.

Pros
  • AV Accessory
Cons
  • Big and Chunky

Item defective

I bought this to replace Niles' 13 year old volume control when I moved it under the hot tub in our gazebo. After trying several troubleshooting options as to why a speaker had cut out after plugging this knob in, I found that the volume potentiometer had a short circuit. (Sliding in and out made the speaker go in and out.) Since the Niles box was pretty toasty I use the Monoprice PVC box this controller came in, plugged it in and installed the old Niles control box in it and installed theโ€ฆ

Pros
  • Electronics
Cons
  • Incredible piggy bank
