Just wondering what your thoughts are on that and if you considered a transformer type situation.  |
Wow... that is fast!
I haven't really thought about a trannybased attenuator actually, i like the sound of tranny's but i think for attenuation you don't want it it to sound at all but maybe i have to be in depth of the trannys more to make sure.
I also think it will be a lot more expensive to build and with the 24 steps switch it's also easier to go to a calibrated value.
It's also possible to make the values/steps more custombased because it's just a matter of using different values resistors, this version has 1.5db steps from 0db > -33db and when you turn on the dimswitch you can go lower if you want from about -20db > -53db. (didn't really measure that yet)
Do you have more info on trafo based attenuators for me? I'm interested!
