Remote Input Port
e Remote input port — This 3-pin, captive screw
port allows a wall-mounted audio controller to
control volume and mute levels remotely (see
Remote Control Options on page 12 if using a
MediaLink controller).

Wiring for remote control
Options for remote control include the Extron VC50, VCM100AAP, VCM100MAAP,
VCM 200 series, and MLAVC10 Plus. For information about part numbers, see
www.extron.com. Third party 10k potentiometer volume controllers can also be
connected to this port.
Figure 4 and the instructions below, show the wiring for the VCM 100 MAAP. Wiring other
remote control connectors is similar.

• Pin 1 is 10 VDC reference voltage.
• Pin 2 (Vol/Mute) can be used as a variable voltage input between 0 and 10 VDC, with
0 V giving full attenuation and 10 V giving maximum volume. It can also be used for
remote control muting. Sound is muted while the mute pin is shorted to ground.
• Pin 3 is ground.
NOTE: All nominal levels are at ± 10%.
