You might need one of these!

Pricing (Set of two): $89.00

Shipping Box: 12 x 10 x 4 Inch ** Weight: 3 Lbs. Estimate shipping cost

Stable attenuation settings of 0, 3, 5, 7, and 9 dB by a movable plug.
Flat 8 Ohms impedance load to amp at all settings.
Virtually flat frequency response from 20 Hz to over 50 Khz.
10W continuous power handling.
None of the reduction in amplifier damping factor caused by resistive "L-pads". Tweeter sees a source impedance of about 0.4 Ohms for a damping factor of about 20 compard to damping factor of about 3 for a 4 dB resistive "L-pad".

Installation is easy:

They say transformers cause ringing. NOT TRUE! This plot compares the input and output of the attenuator on a 1 KHz square wave. There is no ringing introduced by the transformer.

Note: This attenuator will be standard equipment on the ES5800 extreme-slope crossover network.

Economy resistive tweeter L-Pad

An inexpensive L-Pad suitable for mounting right on the board with a DIY crossover.

Fixed accurate attenuation settings of 0, 2, 4, 6 and 8 dB. *** 8 W continuous input.
Optional version: 0, 3, 6, 9 and 12 dB settings. *** 6 W continuous input.
8 Ohms.
Small size: 2.0 X 1.2 Inch.
Stable plug selected attenuation settings that will not change with time.
Low cost: $39.95 for set of two.

Note: This attenuator will be standard equipment on the Cornscala-Wall economy crossover network.
