Niles VCS100K Volume Control

Q: For install 1 pair of speakers (8 ohm). On what position should be the little switch that is in front of the vol control. 8x, 4x, 2x and 1k?

For a single pair of 8 ohm speakers use the 1X setting. From the chart in the manual, this applies to amplifiers with both 4 and 8 ohm minimum load levels.

Q: When I have the volume turned down very low, I can hear distorted music/popping coming from this module inside of the wall. Is this normal?

Is the distortion/popping coming from the speakers and/or volume control in the wall? Not sure how you can hear sounds out of volume control. In any event, what you hear is not normal.

Q: How do I used the 1x,4x8x switch on the side of this thing? I am hooking up 5 pairs of 8ohm speakers to the receiver.

It depends on the minimum load impedance of your receiver, which should be listed in the owner's manual or on the rear panel of the receiver. If it is 4 ohms with 5 pairs of 8 ohm speakers the switch on each of the volume controls should be set to 4x. If the receiver is rated at 8 ohms minimum load the switch on each volume control should be at 8x. See page 7 of http://www.nilesaudio.com/images/PDF/VCS100_100R_manual.pdf. You will notice a decrease in volume level from the speakers compared to what you had with only one set of speakers. See page 3 of the manual.

Q: At church I have 2 front facing speakers + a monitor in back for choir. Monitor's wired to the left front speaker. Can this control the monitor vol?

Yes. It is essentially a 2 pole volume control. Know that it controls the volume delivered from the source. In my instance, I have the switch feeding a secondary pair of speakers from a A/B speaker output on a main amplifier. With the main volume up, I use the control to reduce the volume of the secondary speakers. It wont increase volume above the delivered signal, so there are occasions where the A speakers (inside)are too loud and the B speakers (patio) are too low...the solution is to wire the lower volume requirement to the control.
