Attenuating gain

1345 Views 7 Replies 2 Participants Last post by  NBPk402
I have the balanced 2x4 MiniDSPs, and now have amps without gain adjustments... Is there a way to attenuate the level for my horns with the MiniDSP? I need to attenuate about 12db.

I assume you need gain adjustments post-crossover filtering on the outputs. I don’t see any provision for this in the manual. If this is the case, it’s a major faux pas on the part of miniDSP. All professional-grade crossovers have gain controls on the outputs.

Hi Wayne,
The only gain I saw in the MiniDSP was per channel in the last window. Do you think the XLR attentuators would work...or do you think that will add noise?

Are you talking about a passive device? Never used them, but I can’t imagine how they would add noise.

I re looked at the MiniDSP, and it might be able to do it, if I am reading this correctly. I see the output is selectable.
