Low-cost, high-quality passive stereo line-level control with convenient single-knob control
Don`t let its affordability fool you; the A-Designs Audio ATTY is a no-compromise, 100% passive, two-channel line-level attenuator offering transparent, unaffected sound quality. ATTY`s diminutive size makes it a highly versatile and convenient tool, suitable for use in a world-class studio. Or, it can be a cost-effective solution to the space-challenged bedroom studio needing high-quality monitor control (without the high price tag).
The A-Designs Audio ATTY is simplicity itself. Its passive design allows it to be placed in any signal path with ease. Housed in a rugged metal case, it has two Neutrik XLR/TRS combo jacks and two balanced XLR outputs for quiet, noise-free operation. Stereo Level control is provided by a single knob, which adds to ATTY`s ease-of-use resume. With a single knob twist, you can control stereo monitors, or the outputs of a dual-channel preamp while recording a loud sound source. And if you find yourself in a situation, studio or stage, where feedback or other nasty-big, speaking-thumping sounds take you by surprise, you find ATTY`s Mute/panic button a godsend.
The most obvious use of ATTY is for control of any line-level source ranging from powered monitors to CD players. It`s a particularly handy device when it comes to maintaining level control of powered monitors that have a separate volume control on each speaker, such as the ADAM A7. Once you calibrate your monitors to equal level, you need never touch them again. Let ATTY`s single stereo knob and extremely handy mute button take it from there.
Let`s say you`re recording kick drum and snare with an API 3124. You`ve got the input gain set at the sweet spot, but due to the API`s hot output, you need level control to protect your converters from clipping. Plus, you don`t want to change sound quality by using its pads, or record with compression. A-Designs has one word for you: ATTY. And if you`re using the 3124 to record toms, two ATTYs will do it. (Or, you can check out A-Designs` dual-stereo + dual mono ATTY`2D for more independent level control.)
Place an ATTY in back of one of A-Design`s Audio tube preamps, such as the MP-2A, and explore different in/out level combinations without overloading other gear.
One last tip, but certainly not the limit of ATTY`s applications; you can also use it as a passive line level control for guitar and bass amp extension speakers.
