Product Exchange Warning!

Genuine Terk Volume Control. or was. An excellent product, a sophisticated DSP based block with sophisticated circuitry that elegantly controls excessive dynamics without sacrificing your sound. With a good sound system, it can make very dynamic films much more ear-friendly (Transformers and similar films with constant explosions, orchestral crescendos, etc.) and has retained its musical quality and image well. Now if you order a Terk instead, you get an Audiovox branded box that looksโ€ฆ

Pros
  • Adjusts bass and treble to improve dialogue.
Cons
  • Repair

Does a good job, not great.

I listen to internet radio and I'm tired of constantly adjusting the volume to compensate for the difference in loudness and loudness. I ordered this product to connect my Grace internet radio to my M Audio powered speakers. My assessment after a week is that this product adequately manages volume changes in the particular network stream I'm tuned into. But as other reviews have pointed out, it's not a reliable "volume" control - so yes, overly compressed and processed commercials will stillโ€ฆ

Pros
  • Advanced digital signal processing for fast automatic volume control in under 2/1000s of a second
Cons
  • Out of fashion

Does NOT work as advertised.

I bought an Audiovox Terk VR1 automatic volume control to balance the volume on my HDTV output, which is amplified by my stereo. The aim was to eliminate noisy advertising and differences between different channels. A secondary use would be to enable the stream on my 5 CD changers so CDs with significantly different volume levels would be normalized as well. Because all channels go through a multi-channel EQ, it's easy for me to "see" the difference with and without the VR1. My first impression

Pros
  • Built-in noise reduction eliminates "hiss" in some sounds
Cons
  • Long delivery time

Very satisfied, there is none.

I originally bought a version of this device called Audiovox from another vendor. I was so happy with this I searched for another on Revain.com and found the Terk VR1 to be the same as the Audiovox so I bought it under the Terk VR1 name. It was identical to my Audiovox and it was in fact an Audiovox as it says on the box. I've bought 3 of these so far. I didn't hear the pops when adjusting the volume that others have reported. It could be a factor other than the Audiovox Terk VR1 itself that'sโ€ฆ

Pros
  • Compatible with any AV device with RCA connectors.
Cons
  • I don't remember.
