Attenuation pad


For those with too much gain from source direct to amp, have you tried this to keep the source volume in the top 30% without loss of resolution or transparency?

Shure makes one as well with 3 db levels to choose from.

Thanks in advance

I have used the Rothwell inline attenuation,10db, for the past 10 years with great success, seems I have always fought with the problem of too much gain and longed for more volume control. Others have claimed they hear a difference with and without, I am not able to. I bought a new Lamm LL2.1 preamp 2 and 1/2 years ago beating out some other very good preamps, the other pre that my decision was between when all was said and done was the Ist Sound Presence which was every bit the equal of the Lamm but the Lamm had a 15db attenuation switch on the front and that made my decision for me. Hope this helps.
