Outdoor Speaker Volume Control Wiring

Convenient installation Simple wiring Rigid and clean look Low noise Easy volume control and excellent compretion

This is a solid integrated amp. I have an RME ADI-2 DAC feeding the CD inputs with the amp set to its CD Direct mode for a straightforward analog signal path. I use the DAC's volume control and leave the Yamaha volume at about 12 o'clock for convenience, with suitable gain for my setup. Since the amp has A and B sets of speaker outputs, and my speakers have a bi-wiring option, I decided to separately feed the speaker's high and low frequency inputs from the amp's A and B outputs. Then, for initial testing of my wiring, I switched A-only or B-only on the amp, to confirm I would hear high-only or low-only sound. That showed my connections were as intended. Then I left the amp switched to feed both A and B. My wiring is nothing fancy, just Monoprice 14-gauge OFC, and this bi-wired hookup is similar to using a single, heavier gauge cable.

I have two sets of speakers, one indoor and one outdoor that needed separate volume control but with audio coming from the same source. Worked perfect.

I'm using a legacy power amp to power my outdoor speakers as a separate zone and did not want to purchase an expensive preamp. This component let me take the line out from my receiver and sonos directly to the 300 watt power amp and control the volume. The line out was running the amp at full volume which was both too loud and distorted. Now I have full control over the input source and the amplifier volume.

Purchased this speaker for outdoor use for parties, get togethers, etc. Amazing sound, volume, and bass from such a small speaker. This speaker will be able to handle most at home situations. Very heavy for its size. A bit pricey, but well worth the expense.

As there is no volume twirl on it, which is located in the back of the speaker, and probably that is the only con of these speakers (but maybe not because they look the same) I set it on the middle from the back - 50%, and I control the sound volume from my pc's keyboard, I am using it around 20-30% of the system volume. It has a really good quality audio and can get really really loud!

This is exactly what I was looking for to control the entire speaker system in and out of the house. Being able to control each speaker set with it's own seperate volume control is a big plus. Very easy to use and appears to be solidly made.

Using this to control wall speaker volume remotely to a stereo receiver in the next room. Works great working at line levels without having to have a huge high-powered speaker L-pad in the wall that eventually gets scratchy sounding and dead spots. Made by RDL which I've used in many custom installations in the past. Very reliable products, practically bulletproof! Had to get 2 for stereo.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Really loving this speaker and the retro look. Its very intuitive to use and set up. The volume and equalizer control knobs on top are easy to use and I prefer over push button adjustments. IMO the best part is having it connected to the WiFi and setting it up with Google assistant. When it is set up on the WiFi it is always ready for action and you don’t have to initiate Bluetooth everytime you want to use it. Google assist allows you to control the speaker completely hands free. It has the perfect amount of bass and a very rich sound. Would highly recommend this speaker. There is not really any negative aspects, except maybe the volume knob feels a little cheap plasticky. Love it!!

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] First thing I have to bring up is how beautiful the design is. I saw that it won an iF Design Award 2023. I had to look that up and apparently it's a very prestigious award for design and quality, if you got a minute look it up. The Authenticator 500 has a retro style with awesome quality sound. A couple of things about the style I like to call out is the waffle front speaker is firm to the touch, not spongy. The subtle gold trim and covered in a faux leather showing the grain.Nice touch! The back hookups are very straight forward, ethernet, AUX and USB C. Right on top it has easy control of volume, treble, bass and bluetooth sync. The setup was super easy with the JBL One App. Easy to sync and it had more options in the app that are pretty cool, equalizer, sync to your favorite music streaming service and control it from the app and a new one on me called “Moments”. This is where you select your favorite playlist from your streaming service and when you hit the heart button on the top of Authenticator it will automatically play the collection. Let's talk about integrations. It supports Chromecast, Apple Airplay, Spotify and has Alexa and Hey Google built in. Ill talk about Alexa,that’s what I have. It's super responsive to my voice and it's just like having my Echo. A bonus is on the Amazon app it will sync your speakers and there is no delay in music playing from different rooms in your house. Speaking of sound, it is big and rich! I am a skeptic of having Double Atoms from one speaker. Well it looks like one speaker however it has about roughly 7 speakers from what I can see from the picture on the box. You can easily control the volume, bass and treble from the dials on top and of course from the app as well. I love loud music but when I get to 1⁄2 volume it BOOMS! Well worth it! Hoping this helps if you had any questions
