Am more than satisfied. I simply connected the outputs of unit one to the inputs of unit two and the outputs of unit two to my audio amp inputs.
It does both but is a bit more effective with the former than the latter.My recent purchase of a second Terk VR1 came about when I thought the one I had was causing a long term intermittent audio loss. Have been using the Terk VR1 for a about a year now to reduce the high volume swings in some commercials and to bring up some of the annoying low volume parts of TV movies.
Happily the answer was yes. Right after I ordered, I discovered the problem was actually in the HDMI output of my cable DVR.Decided to keep the new Terk VR1 as a spare since I'd come to really like the product and the price seemed reasonable.
Then I began to think, if one Terk VR1 levels out volume swings, couldn't a second be fed from the output of the first unit to produce even more improvement. Aside from slightly increasing the no-signal background noise level (which is not noticeable during programs), I believe I must have the most effective automatic volume controller in town for the price paid.
DOES,JUST AS IT SAID IN AD ON MORE VOLUME CHANGE ALL THE TIME I WAS GOING TO GET ONE FOR A WHILE NOW FOR $50 FOUND FOR $20 SO I TRYED IT N WORKS GREAT.
.what do you expect for $30.you got your moneys worth and more.if you want better then pay $300 for a pro model dbx 166/266 that compresses/limits/gates and is fully adjustable.this thing is easy to usejust connect it.it compresses the sound into a 30db range -- does that by lowering the high volumeand boosting the lower volume sounds.hdmi is irrelevant imhothis thing is designed for stereo audiowhether your hifi or tv setit is not meant for a 5.1/7.1 home theatre.sound quality is as good as my cds.the only downside is clicking when the program content goes from quiet to very loud suddenly.has not failed yet. cant speak to the problems others claim there.i got it for the tvour tv does not have the connections needed to use it. -- if you have a new tv or a cable box that feeds external speakers then good for tv.our tv is at least 20 years old.so i used it withy the stereowhere it works fine.classical cds are way too loud - wake the baby nextdoor -- ditto way too soft - cant hear the music over the traffic outside.with this device it is compressed into a 30db range which is way plenty.now i can enjoy my music the way i want it.downside is there is sometimes a click when the program level changes a lot.but there is no noisehasnt died from power surge yetor had any of the other problems some people mention.for the price it is greatelse i will spend $300 or so for a pro type dbx compress/limit/gate to control the outrageous dynamics on classical cds.note that when commercials are maximally compressed that no device can fix that.and they will always be too loud -- unless you have a look ahead agc.this will lower the sound about 10db on some commercials (and most loud program content) and raise the volume of programs about 10db.which is a big big big help (if your tv has the needed connectors:(.we need the fcc to regulate tv sound so that the peak of commercials cannot exceed the average of the program level.i am plannign to get a couple more of these to use with my audio recording studio and maybe for the church sound system.
Connected to audio cables between my U-Verse set-top box and my TV. Very noticable control over excessive audio levels used in commercials. No loss of fidelity in program audio. Well worth the money.
I had no trouble installing the VR1 and it works great. No more loud comericals to mute. I have it feeding my Bose system and I don't notice any loss in quilty. Great product.
