Eli Crews did a great job of explaining this 8 channel attenuator eight years ago. What I find interesting is how, many years on, I have found my go to uses for a product. One of the main things I use this for is adjusting the volume when sending mixes or background music to the speakers in my live room. It allows me to feed the power amp straight from a source (or mult from the Dangerous Monitor ST) and control the levels. I also use it when dumping sessions from tape to Pro Tools when a track is hitting too hard, like kick drum, and clipping. Totally hand-built, totally passive, and very clean!
