Detailed Description ZonePad VL1
ZonePad VL1 puts a SmartAmp volume control on the wall at the point of listening. Its rotary dial connects directly to the amplifier GPIO port through a three-pin terminal block. The panel takes its operating voltage from that connection and requires no separate power supply.

One VL1 can control the overall output level of a SmartAmp. SmartAmp 20 and SmartAmp 30 also support two panels for independent adjustment of their channel pairs. This arrangement provides local level control in installations that do not require a dedicated Zone processor.
The white painted-steel faceplate includes an area for identifying the zone. A UK/EU version fits single-gang back boxes, and a US version fits a single-gang Decora box. Use shielded wiring as specified by the manufacturer for EMC compliance, and select the panel variant to match the back box.
