No, I'm not sure what they are. They are DESIGNED to be -1dB, but they change the volume in my system by almost -15dB. And however much they are actually attenuating, the purpose of them was to remove the distortion on peaks, so they attenuate enough to do that perfectly.I tried to tear one apart last night to see what value of resistor is in there, but it was too tough for me. I couldn't get it open.

- Sorry, I meant turn up the volume to -30dB. 15dB change. - AtomHeart 08:46:22 02/1/05 (0)
