The Lab Gruppen CRC-VUL-BK is a sleek, single-gang remote control wall plate designed to provide easy and efficient volume control for the Lab.Gruppen CA, CM, CMA, and CPA Series commercial amplifiers. Perfectly suited for installation in most standard-depth enclosures, the CRC-VUL-BK blends seamlessly into any decor, offering a clean, professional look for commercial and industrial environments. Its simple design and intuitive functionality make it an excellent choice for venues like restaurants, bars, retail spaces, hotels, and corporate offices where ease of use and aesthetic appeal are important.
The CRC-VUL-BK features a single rotary volume knob that allows for precise volume attenuation, providing a simple way to adjust the audio levels without needing to access the amplifier itself. This remote control unit is designed to adjust the volume in a manner that reduces the audio level only; it does not increase the volume. The volume control works in conjunction with the amplifier's master volume control, both being active and in series. This ensures smooth operation and allows for effective management of the sound levels in any environment.
A standout feature of the CRC-VUL-BK is its illuminated LED ring surrounding the volume knob. This LED ring offers a visual indication of the volume level and can be configured to either remain on or off, depending on the user's preference. The switch to control the LED ring's illumination is located on the PCB, situated between the bottom plate and the unit, with ON and OFF positions clearly marked. This gives users the ability to customize the appearance of the wall plate to better suit the ambiance of the room.
The unit is installed securely into the wall enclosure using two mounting screws beneath the front plate, ensuring that the unit is firmly fixed during operation. Once the main unit is fastened, the front plate is attached to complete the installation. The CRC-VUL-BK connects to the Remote port of any compatible Lab Gruppen amplifier (CA, CM, CMA, and CPA Series) using standard CAT5 or CAT6 cables, providing up to 305 meters (1000 feet) of cable length for flexible installation. The RJ-45 connector on the unit allows for easy and reliable connectivity, and a generous space is provided for labeling, helping users to identify each control point in a multi-zone system setup.
Designed for commercial applications, the CRC-VUL-BK offers both functionality and discreet styling. The black faceplate ensures that the unit can seamlessly blend into any environment while maintaining its professional look. Whether for a simple volume adjustment in a retail space or as part of a more complex multi-zone audio system, the CRC-VUL-BK delivers reliable and efficient volume control for users of all levels of technical expertise.
