ELAN electronic volume controls are ideal for use with
the System12. These devices do several things in
relation to system design:
• Provides volume control in Fixed zone out areas
(usually sub-zones)
• Impedance matching so that multiple speakers
can connect to the same amp channels
• IR input and output to control volume as well as
system and source control
PVSE Precision Panel
Use of ELAN’s PVSE Precision Panel will greatly sim-
plify integration of electronic volume controls with the
S12.
The back of the PVSE features six clearly labeled
110 punch-down blocks that provide independent
connections for Override, IR and Sense; plus two
additional punch-down connectors for easy rout-
ing of VSE IR signals to the System12 Precision
Panel (PS12). Two RJ-45 jacks on the rear of the
panel make it easy to route override signals to the
PZ600 Communication Controller Precision Panel,
and to link multiple PVSE panels together. There's
also a bank of six dipswitches that allow configu-
ration of the front-panel VSE-specific IR Out ports
into 'ALL' IR ports.
The diagram below shows the wiring of a single
electronic volume control to a PVSE, then to the
PS12.
