## Description

Dash Mount Amplifier Level Control for Volume Adjustment

Review: A Perfect Solution - Lesson Learned after one year - I am still awaiting the arrival of my Sure Electronics 2X25w amplifier from Parts Express which is a desertcart business partner. The reasoning for ordering this device was to control the volume input from a CD,MP3 player or IPhone etc.. In my particular situation, I needed a device much like a potentiometer to control the output from a DVD player which has no volume control but relies on the receiver or ampliflier to either increase or decrease the sound level to the speakers. While the Sure Electronics amplifier has a set of dip switches to control the sound level output, there is no way to gradually increase or decrease manually. I did my research on desertcart and found three sound control devices which had RCA type jacks. It was a true miracle & good luck that I managed to select this particular product which works well and solves the problem of trying to hook up & solder a standard audio potentiometer to the Sure Electronics board. It is a simple matter of plugging both input and output, powering up your amplifier and have total control over your sound output and not totally destroy your speakers. This is a must have device. I tried it on my Lepai TA2020 and it works incredibly well. Highly recommended. 12/28/2011: Been having trouble with one of the inputs (white). For the past month I have been experiencing a bad case of no sound. Twisting and turning the white adapter sometimes solves the problem temporarily. (Red) input wire seems OK. However, it is kind of hard to enjoy any music or video without both set of speakers working. Pretty well made but defective. Make your choice carefully. I just received a similar volume control also bought through desertcart. Imc LC-1 Car Bass Amplifier which sells a lot less than this unit. I will be commenting on this unit once I get to give it a real road test. 12/18/2012: My Imc LC-1 Car Bass Amplifer finally went bad. Sound from the right channel was reduced by 50% and almost inaudible. Anyhow, just ordered (4) more units of the Axxess AALC Remote RCA Level Controller and was immediately back in business. Just buying and assembling a potentiometer and separate wires/rca plugs would put you back several dollars. Buy these now, there are really cheap and work great. Definitely hard to find except from desertcart. Works really well with my Sure 2x25W T-amp.
Review: Works well to control USB audio input - I've been capturing audio from my phono pre-amp with a USB audio capture device, and while that worked well, I noticed on some recordings, I had to turn the Windows USB audio mixer control way down on some recording captures that were just peaking out too high, or even flat-topping in the audio editor. So, even though my pre-amp has a wide dynamic range, it has no level control to set how much output there is. I find, for recording purposes, it made recording records a bit wild from time to time, especially high-velocity records like 45's and 78's. So I needed some more control without adding an expensive mixer, that might potentially add more coloration and noise. Furthermore, I wanted something I could adjust quickly without fussing in a computer dialogue box for. I've been making fine recordings and saving them as hi-res hi-bitrate WAV files on USB to play back in my home theater amp. This volume control gives me the additional control I need in a passive device that doesn't add color or noise to the signal path. The only thing is I needed the ends of the RCA cables to be males, not females. Whoever made this does not adhere to the industry peridigm of males are "outs" and female connections are "ins". So I had to buy a pack of male to male RCA adapters. to make this work. Anyway, problem is solved and I have much greater dynamic range on my USB capture device without overloading the input as before. At first I was concerned the higher groove velocity records might be overloading the input of my Cambridge Alva Solo pre-amp, but the waveforms I'm getting now show no evidence of that, so the Alva Solo just has a hot output, which is fine for the amp's line level in, it just wasn't so good for the USB converter device, which appears to have a sensitivity somewhere between microphone and line level (probably -30 or -40 dB). So some control is needed to bring the level down so as not to overload its input. This little unit fills the bill. By the time I would have designed the vari-pad, bought the parts, spent the time building and calibrating it, it would have cost me a lot more in parts and labor. I'm just glad someone out there makes this stuff at a super-affordable price and saves me the effort. It's clean, no hum, and is quiet. Love that it's a passive device, too. It does have tabs on the case, so it could be screwed to a cabinet to fasten it down. I just leave it float around near the laptop, it then is convenient to move it out of the way, if I need to. By the way, the input isolation appears to be designed appropriately, when turning down the control, no loading appears to be observed on the pre-amp output which is "Y'd" to the amp input and to the variable pad respectively. Kudos on that. It does the job and well!

## Questions & Answers

**Q: would this work between a pair of active speakers (Dynaudio) with rca and the Marantz NA 7004 network streamer??**
A: Probably, if the input to the speakers is low level RCA patch cord and the amplifier is internal to the speakers. Not sure about the streamer.

**Q: If I have a record player with a built in pre-amp and powered speakers, can I connect the two with this to control the volume?**
A: Yes.  Just put it before the speakers, after the preamp circuit.

**Q: Is this easy to disassemble so you can mount it in dash? Does it have nut under knob?**
A: No, I don't think you can mount this through the dash. The plate it is attached to has four feet and protrudes outwards in front past the base of the unit. You would have to mount it on the dash or upside down under the dash with the knob extending. I can tell you it is an excellent volume control. Very well made. Maybe the mounting plate is removable so you can mount it through the dash but I don't recall. I seem to remember that the base is integral to the unit but I could be mistaken. You could always get "creative" and saw or cut off the front feet so the unit would fit flush with the back of the dash. It looks like it does have a nut under the knob.

**Q: Will this work if I only use a single input, and output for my home subwoofer?**
A: Should work, it's just a volume control with RCA inputs and outputs.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ It Works !!
*by E***D on April 8, 2020*

I wanted a product that would add Volume control to my Powered Amplifier and this did it for my Amplifier Nuforce STA 200.. The Nuforce STA-200 Amplifier has only the Power Button but my Receiver Yamaha RN-602 Network Receiver does not have a Pre-out only Out and In output that was available, when you connect the Amplifier with the speakers the sound cannot be adjusted it was very loud....And this little device gave me my Freedom to Adjust the Volume. I am impressed with it good choice I made and I am happy with it.. If you have am Amplifier with no Volume control this product gives you Volume control. Nice well built solid Product , the Volume Knob is stiff and smooth like Butter .. it screams Quality. Ed.
