Not really... a shunt is a type of network for a multi-step attenuator. All of the different methods of multi-step attenuation (shunt, series, ladder) work using a voltage divider circuit, which is what is being illustrated above. Here's a good overview: http://www.goldpt.com/how.html The concept being proposed here would be more similar to a ladder type attenuator, as it has input and ground resistances defined for a specific attenuation level. These are typically the most expensive form of attenuator, as it requires more resistors per volume step than shunt or series types. -- Super-Gonzo ------------------------------------------------------------------------ Super-Gonzo's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=190 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=30462 _______________________________________________ audiophiles mailing list [email protected] http://lists.slimdevices.com/lists/listinfo/audiophiles
