Key Features

100 W power handling
Automatic impedance matching
Rotary local level adjustment
Outdoor-use volume control
Adjust local outdoor speaker-zone level with a rotary control.
Handle audio systems specified up to 100 W.

Set listening level at an outdoor speaker zone from a rotary local control while retaining centralized amplification elsewhere in the audio system. MONOPRICE 38177 is the OVC100 outdoor volume control, specified for 100 W operation and automatic impedance matching. It provides a physical adjustment point for a speaker circuit when listeners need local control rather than relying on a source-device or amplifier setting. Install the controller in the speaker path serving the intended audio area to adjust that zone independently of other system zones. Its rotary interface provides a direct tactile setting method for patios, covered exterior areas, poolside audio zones, and similar outdoor installations. Automatic impedance matching helps maintain an appropriate load relationship in systems that include more than one controlled speaker run. This is a passive level-control component rather than an amplifier or networked-audio endpoint. Choose this model when outdoor placement, rotary operation, 100 W capacity, and automatic impedance matching are required characteristics. Match the controller's power capacity to the connected amplifier and speaker arrangement, and plan the speaker wiring around the system's total load. Within the OVC family, the OVC100 combines outdoor use with a rotary control format and automatic impedance matching for distributed installed-audio applications.

Ideal For

Patio or covered-deck speaker zone requiring local listener adjustment.

Frequently Asked Questions

What is the difference between OVC100 and 38177?▾

OVC100 names the MONOPRICE volume-control model. 38177 is the ordering code for that OVC100 configuration: a rotary outdoor control specified for 100 W operation with automatic impedance matching.

What does automatic impedance matching do on the OVC100?▾

Automatic impedance matching helps maintain an appropriate load relationship between the amplifier and connected speaker runs. It is relevant to distributed speaker arrangements where local volume controls are installed on more than one speaker zone.

Where does the OVC100 fit in an audio installation?▾

The OVC100 fits in the speaker path for an outdoor audio area that needs local level adjustment. It lets users change volume at the zone while amplification and source equipment remain located elsewhere in the system.

Does MONOPRICE 38177 provide audio amplification?▾

No. MONOPRICE 38177 is a volume-control component, not an amplifier. It adjusts the level of an amplifier-driven speaker circuit and is specified for 100 W operation with automatic impedance matching.
