APPLICATION

Superior styling of WhisperTouch^® controls combined with their fine-tune level capability make them ideal for residential/custom installation and professional applications of all kinds including: private homes, medical and legal offices, dental groups, studios, and high-profile businesses that demand clear music reproduction and precise level control.

GENERAL DESCRIPTION

WhisperTouch^® volume controls provide for clear, distortion-free \stereo music reproduction when one or multiple loudspeaker pairs are powered by a single amplifier. Models DWT-8 and SWT-8 are 8-ohm devices with a decora-style or standard wall plate respectively.

Both styles have a frequency response of 20Hz - 20kHz (-3dB.+0). Attenuation is accomplished in ten steps plus positive off. The first three steps are 1.5 dB for fine-tune control at low listening levels; the next six steps are standard 3dB.

The low-profile knob is pleasant to the touch and adjusts easily. It measures 7/8" Dia. and projects a mere 3/8" for unobtrusive yet functional operation. The control operates smoothly with fine detents and make-before-break contacts for gradual and uninterrupted transition when changing volume settings. High quality units require 12 to 18-gauge wire and terminate with convenient plug-in connectors. Assemblies measure 2-¾" deep and mount into a standard 20 cu.in. E.O. Box (by others). Specify plate color: suffix (-I) for ivory or (-W) for white.
