Volume control port — To provide volume control for Extron half rack audio amplifiers,
connect this port to the volume remote control port on the amplifier as shown below.
Configure the maximum and minimum voltage limits. Set Soft Start mode off or on
(default). Soft Start mode allows volume to gradually increase from mute to the previous
level after muting or power-on to prevent loud audio bursts.

Volume Control
This port can be used to control the volume and mute or
unmute the audio for Extron half rack width audio ampliers.
• Connect to an Extron audio ampier to permit volume
control via touchpanel controls, macros, or schedules.
• Do not exceed 10 VDC input voltage.
Congure the maximum and minimum voltage limits. Set
Soft Start mode off or on (default) . Soft Start mode allows
volume to gradually increase from mute to the previous level
after muting or power-on to prevent loud audio bursts
NOTE: Use shielded cable and
place the control processor
as close as possible to the
amplier to avoid picking up
background noise via the
cable. Ideal cable length is
six feet or less.
NOTE: When audio mute is active, the
control processor sets output voltage
to
0 VDC, even if the voltage range
(minimum and maximum voltage
limits) has been set to levels above
zero, such as 2 V to 8 V.
