Power Dynamics PDVC30 - 100V 30W Line Volume Control

Power Dynamics PDVC30 - 100V 30W Line Volume Control

The Power Dynamics PDVC30 is a high-quality volume control specifically designed for 100V line audio systems. This device allows for precise and reliable sound level adjustment in public address or background music installations, making it an ideal solution for managing individual speaker zones. With a maximum load capacity of 30 watts, it is perfectly suited for controlling multiple speakers in a single zone.

Its design features an elegant front panel made of pure white ABS plastic (RAL9010), which blends discreetly into any décor. The central rotary control offers 11-step dimming, allowing the user to precisely select the desired volume, from silent to full power.

Its versatility is one of its greatest advantages. The PDVC30 is designed to fit standard flush-mount boxes (such as DIN 49073), requiring a minimum depth of 50 mm for proper installation. Furthermore, for added convenience and flexibility, a matching surface-mount box is included, allowing for mounting on walls where flush mounting is not an option. Connections are made securely and easily using screw terminals located on the back.

Frequently Asked Questions

What is a "100V line" system?
It's an audio distribution system used in commercial installations to transmit sound over long distances to multiple speakers using a single amplifier. This volume control is specifically designed to work with this type of system.

Can I connect any type of speaker to the PDVC30?
No, it should only be used with speakers equipped with a 100V transformer. It is not compatible with standard low-impedance speakers (such as 4 or 8 ohms).

How many speakers can I connect to a single volume control?
You can connect as many speakers as you like, as long as the sum of the power of all of them (at their power "tap" setting) does not exceed the 30 watts of the control.

Is the surface mount box included?
Yes, the product includes a surface mounting box of the same color and material, making it easy to install on any type of wall.
