Remote Control
e
Remote input connector — This 3-pin, captive screw connector
allows a wall-mounted audio controller or MediaLink product to
control volume and mute levels remotely.
Wiring for remote control
Options for remote control include the Extron VC50, VCM100AAP, VCM100MAAP,
VCM 200 series, and MLAVC10 Plus. For information about part numbers, see the list of
Optional Accessories on page 12. Third party 10k potentiometer volume controllers can
also be connected to this port.
Figure 5 and the instructions below, show the wiring for the VCM 100 MAAP. Wiring other
remote control connectors is similar.

• Pin 1 is 10 VDC reference voltage.
• Pin 2 (Vol/Mute) has two functions:
a. It can be used as a variable voltage input between 0 and 10 VDC, with 0 V giving
full attenuation and 10 V giving maximum volume.
b. It can be used for remote control muting. Sound is muted while the mute pin is
shorted to ground.
• Pin 3 is ground.
NOTE: All nominal levels are at ± 10%.
Controlling multiple ampliers with one volume controller
Several MPA 152 units can be daisy-chained so that one volume controller can
simultaneously regulate the volume of all the amplifiers.
