Description
The Adastra V50-VR is a 100V line volume control rated at 50W, built for commercial and installed audio systems where you need to set levels zone by zone. It arrives complete with a plastic surface mount back box, so you have everything needed to fit it to a wall without sourcing extra parts. The ABS faceplate carries a matching plastic knob for a clean, tidy finish.
Attenuation runs in 10 steps: eight 3dB steps and two 6dB steps, giving you steady control from full volume down to off. Frequency response covers 35Hz to 20kHz, so the control sits well within the range of most 100V line speakers. The unit is intended for 100V line systems, which are the standard for distributed audio across shops, offices, schools and similar sites.
The key feature here is the 24V relay, rated at 50mA. This lets the attenuator bypass to full volume when triggered from a fire alarm panel, so voice alarm and evacuation messages play at full level regardless of where the local control is set. This is often a requirement for life safety systems. Assembled dimensions are 85 x 85 x 75mm including the back box, with a mounting depth of 47mm. That makes it straightforward to plan into a wall or surface installation alongside matching plates in the same range.
