Niles Audio Corporation, a popular name in custom installation, has announced the release of two new Stereo Volume Controls, the VCS50 and the VCS50R. Featuring professional-grade construction and modern, sleek lines, they add an elegant, polished finish to any AV project. The VCS50R is the perfect volume solution for retailers, DIYers and installer vans, thanks to its all-in-one packaging that includes multiple colored knobs and Decora trim outs (bone, almond and white), giving installers and customers several options in one small package. For production builders, the VCS50 is great. Packaged in bulk, these controls make multiple installations a breeze. Both models feature a convenient wall-mounted interface and rotating volume knob with pop-free switching between 10 volume levels (50 watts per channel RMS; 100 watts peak), providing all Niles dealers with a modern yet affordable alternative to more expensive trim-outs.
