Once you've established the necessary attenuation, you can do it with fixed attenuators, and if you can use a soldering iron, you could install the necessary resistors inside the XLR plugs of your interconnects for under a dollar.

If you're not happy trying to make your own, many people around here like the Rothwell devices, but quite frankly they are rather expensive. Googling "XLR attenuator" pops up other possible suppliers at much lower prices. -- cliveb Transporter -> ATC SCM100A ------------------------------------------------------------------------ cliveb's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=348 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=76659 _______________________________________________ audiophiles mailing list [email protected] http://lists.slimdevices.com/mailman/listinfo/audiophiles
