Can the volume be controlled by the input device - pc/mp3 - or does the amp have sole control of the volume?

Depending upon your A/V device. The device has it's own volume control but, some A/V devices also allow you to control it via their device. Hope that this helps.

There is a very nice volume control wheel on the amp. It can be used to adjust the master level of the amp. The answer to your question is: The working volume of your sound IS controlled by the source. (PC, etc.) The control on the amp will allow you to fine-tune the over-all loudness of your source. You have a great deal of control and adjustment. This amp works wonderfully. Have no fear of volume control issues.

Actually, I haven't received the amp yet, therefore I could not test it yet either. Nonetheless, usually when working with this type of setup you must find a good balance between input volume (the one set at the input device) and output volume (the one set at the amp) in order to avoid distortion of the sound (if input volume is very high it will cause distortion) and also achieve a good output volume without forcing the amp (output volume too high) which by the way can also cause distortion of the sound. Hope this helps.

Your line level source or preamp controls volume. Set and forget level on amp. I have a pair of these driving ceiling speakers in bathroom where I only had cat5. I have a Marantz preamp feeding Stereo audio balums to these units. Works great. I am running each of these Mono bridged.

Both - you typically turn your music source up to 9/10 max to get the input level right then use the amp volume control. There isn't any reason you can't start with the amp as loud as you want and turn it lower from your music source.

Yes, it can. Both volume controls (amp and input device) work. I usually prefer to set the amp at about 3/4 volume and then use my iPod to control the volume. I hope that helps.

Yes you can control the volume but you still have the issue where the amplifier in your car system might not sounds as "full" if the iOS volume is turned down (due to amplitude compression). Best results are if you keep your iOS on full volume and the car audio system system is used for moderation.

yes however please understand this unit does not have a volume control. the volume is controlled from the unit that you plug it into. having said that i use it with my mp3 player and it works just fine. i use this player for audio books only.

No... if you look at the photo the little box infront of the woofer has a volume control/ headphone jack. You can only control the volume and power.

that is forr headphone out only. Speakers volume can be controlled by computer when connected via USB and optical. Also, if you connect via bluetooth (BT100) you can control volume with your bluetooth device, e.g. smartphone.

I was disappointed to find out that the answer to this question is NO. If you remove the battery from the headphone, music plays normally in them. Which means these are non-amplified headphones and rely on the MP3 volume to produce sound. And thus, the volume level associated with these headphones is only as loud as the MP3 amplification minus the loss from the headphone speakers. The volume control on the headphones only controls the volume of the sound received by the headphone microphones - NOT the volume of the MP3.

i know i'm late to the party but if the inputs are parallel then you do not want to do this as there is the chance you could damage one input device as the other on tries to drive it. The test would be is there an output signal present on the rca plugs when the mp3 is in use? If not you should be fine. Hondo

There is an AUX input in the rear of the amp, but it is designed for an MP3 player (line input).

You can control volume from the Bluetooth device. I keep my speakers at full volume and routinely adjust from my iPod.

There is no separate volume control on this speaker. It relies on the volume control on the device you plug it into. (IE phone, laptop, computer, etc)

The volume is adjusted on the device you are using. There isn't a separate volume controller.

It's a power amplifier and has no controls. Some power amps may have gain controls but that's all. You would need a preamp / processor to control things.

Sort of. You can raise and lower the volume from the device that's playing the music, but it will only go as loud as you have the speaker set. So, if you have the speaker turned all the way up, you can simply control it from your player in that respect.

Volume is controlled by whatever device you are using to amplify your audio output.

this device has a high/low volume button to control volume on the device only- it's simply a powered speaker.

The volume control is independent of the device used; it changes the amping on the headphones to reduce or increase volume. It even works on devices without inline control support.

Mine is connected to a head unit. But I have 8 speakers. 4 to head unit and 4 to amp. I have a switch to turn on the amp via the remote power connection. I have my head units output connected to the amp. However I would think you could set the gain high and use the mp3 players volume control to adjust. However this could be dangerous. You would have to make sure the volume is turned down before starting music at each use.
