My home-built attenuator

[kerc]

Dirt simple, pretty effective. I'll just add a switchable capacitor circuit (ideas courtesy of Bob-I and Bow) to bleed off some lows 'cos it can get muddy at very low volumes.

There's about $26 in materials:

• L-Pad
• Two mono 1/4" jacks
• Aluminum case
• Wire
• Rubber pads for the bottom

Nice initial project for an electronics dimwit like me. I gotta make myself record some clips, but I've been a lazy dweeb.

Found this link this morning:

One comment is that resistors shown in the photo should be chassis mounted, not on standoffs. Chassis mouting helps disperse heat better.
