OWNER’S MANUAL
VST60 Stereo Volume Control
™
With LiftLock Connectors
Congratulations on your purchase of SpeakerCraft’s VST60 Stereo Volume Control.
The LiftLock™ Wire Connecting System allows for easy installation.
The VST60 is available in Standard or Decora* styles.
Volume Control
The SpeakerCraft VST60 is a wall mounted stereo volume control. It connects
between the speaker level output of an amplifier, receiver or speaker selector and
a pair of speakers.
Control Placement
When deciding where the volume control will be mounted in the wall, consider the
various ways it will be used. The primary listening area and the ease of running the
wire to your chosen location are the important things to keep in mind. The most
common locations to mount volume controls are by the door as you walk into the
room, next to existing wall fixtures, or in the area that you will be listening to music.
If you do not understand any part of these instructions, please contact your
SpeakerCraft dealer. Improper wiring could cause damage to your audio system.
Do not put the control into the same box as a 110V AC circuit (i.e. light
switch, electrical outlet, etc.). Speaker wires can act as an "antenna" for electri-
cal noise. Locating speaker wires too close to a light switch or dimmer may cause a
buzzing or popping sound to be heard through the speakers. If you must locate the
VST60 near electrical devices, use a separate electrical box.
Once a location has been chosen, you may install the control after you have first
installed a standard single gang plaster ring, or a single gang electrical box (light
switch type).

Wiring the VST60
(See Figure #1)
CAUTION: Please make sure your amplifier or receiver is off before proceeding.
For best results, strip the wire no more than 1/4” from the end. Push the wire
completely into the opening on the connector, then lift the lever using your
finger or screwdriver. This will secure the wire (see Figure #2).
If you need to remove the wire, simply push the lever down. This can be done
with your finger, but it may be easier to use a screwdriver or similar tool. With
the lever in the down position, you can pull the wire out.
1. Connect the amplifier's or receiver's left speaker output to the left amplifier
terminals of the volume controls. Please observe proper polarity of the
connections (+ amplifier to + input on the control).
2. Repeat step 1 for the right.
3. Connect the wires from the left speaker to the left speaker output terminals
of the volume control. Check proper polarity of wires for correct speaker
phase (+ speaker to + output).
4. Repeat step 3 for right speaker connection.
