CONGRATULATIONS ON SELECTING AN EPISODE™ VOLUME CONTROL. Episode is one of the most highly-regarded brands of electronics and speakers available today. We appreciate your business and we stand committed to providing our customers with the highest degree of quality and service in the industry. The Episode EVC-100R and EVC-100S are 12-step stereo volume controls that feature selectable impedance-match settings of 1X, 2X, 4X, and 8X.
WIRING The EVC-100R and the EVC-100S can accommodate 14 to 22gauge speaker wire. The longer your run, the thicker the wire should be. All in-wall and in-ceiling wire installations are subject to local code fire ratings. Never use lamp or zip cord for an installation where the wire will be in a wall or ceiling. Always use multi-strand copper speaker wire for your installations. UV protected wire should be used for outdoor installations.
EXAMPLE If the amplifier’s minimum impedance rating = 8 ohms and you wish to connect four 8 ohm speakers to a single amplifier channel: 8 ohm speakers / by 4 speakers = 2 ohm system impedance 8 ohm amplifier / by 2 ohm system impedance = 4X switch setting Most speakers are rated at 4, 6 or 8 ohms. If connecting speakers of different impedances to an amplifier, an average impedance must be determined; 6-ohm speakers should be entered into the equation as 4-ohm speakers.
The spring-loaded mechanism will hold the wires in place. 3. Connect the wires going to each speaker to the connector labeled SPEAKERS. Make sure to maintain proper polarity. 4. Check that the amplifier or receiver being used is turned off and then connect the wire coming from the amplifier to the connector labeled AMPLIFIER. 5.
7. Install the volume control in the box or ring using the two longer screws provided. Be careful not to force the volume control into the ring or box as this will cause the connectors to become loose or may result in wires being forced out of the connectors. 8. Place Decora plate over volume control. Insert and tighten short color-matched screws until the cover is tight and flush with the wall.
