If your just looking for gain control, You could always homebrew your own monitor control. |

Custom boxes are cool, but you can also easily add something like the NHT PVC. |

I wonder what kind of attenuator is in there? You'd want to know a little more about it before buying, even if it is inexpensive. |

If you plan properly, it's nice, but there are some possible drawbacks... |

One thing to keep in mind - the load presented by the attenuator (if you go passive) is important, as well as how long the cables are between it's output and the amplifier. If you plan properly, it's nice, but there are some possible drawbacks... |

Umm, DC taught me virtually everything I know about this (though that's not saying much), but here goes... I don't know the numbers, but the safe margins are: 1] as short as you can possibly make it, and 2] as low as you can get it. I have a 15' run of cable out of my passive attenuator to the amp of regular cable and suffer no high frequency loss. I think as long as you are careful and make sure your cables don't have unusually high capacitance, you'll eb fine. You can always measure it with a tone generator and a DMM... |
