Single Channel Attenuator

RadioSnack ones to my belief has no application whatsoever and never last even a day or two before you start hearing the fried bacon out of them.
For a true budget high quality ones you should visit www.mouser.com Please note that from their catalogue you can have a greater choice rathrer than ordering from the internet.

Thanks I think the mouser or Gibson is just what I need.

With respect to Mouser. They are great for parts, especially of very hard to find illumination blubs. But, beware of shipping changes (ask first). If not, you can pay $6.00 UPS to have a $2.00 part delivered. Unless they have changed, they automatically ship UPS ground.

Thanks for the tip on mouser. It seems they are all raw parts, which is not what I need. I need a finished product. Yes, we could design and make it ourself very cheaply, but since I only need about 10 or 12 units and I need it to look finished it's not cost effective to build it myself or have our engineers design it. Looks like the Gibson suggestion will work well--I'll try Sam Ash and some other music stores (perhaps some local ones).

marakanetz...Perhaps RS parts are not of the quality one likes to have in the audio path, but, as a temporary device to determine needed attenuation a RS pot is fine. (And I have never had unusual problems with noise from RS pots, although all pots eventually get noisy and need a dose of contact cleaner..RS again). When the desired pot setting is determined, measure the resistance setting, and replace the pot with a couple of fixed resistors. Surely one wouldn't leave any extra adjustable attenuator device, Mouser or otherwise, in the circuit permanently.
