PA-100 Power Attenuator : Good for the money

6 years ago

Im using it to tame a bit a 20 watt Tube amp for home use.

It doesn't give the same sound when without it but i really need it so i can push the power tubes to the deegree i want. Better with the attenuator than with the Master volume down.

When the signal goes through the Attenuator to the speakers i notice it becomes a bit darker like a more compressed sound. I dont have a problem with that as it kinda replicates the thickness that volume gives and my treble knob can balance it at some point. Appart from that speakers need to push some air to give you their best so i belive that any attenuator will sound different in comparisson with high volume.

I havent tried the Line or Mic simulation outputs.
