Topic: Volume Limit Feature Request

Are there any plans to add a max volume limit for the ADI-2 series?

I typically never go over -30dBr and it would bring me some piece of mind to know I could never go past that level!

Thanks

Re: Volume Limit Feature Request

you can build a passive voltage divider using resistors so hardware never go beyond divided max volume.
alternative is to control your music player volume.

Re: Volume Limit Feature Request

Passive attenuators, if you have connected an external amp.
Optimize the dynamic range, as a positive side effect.

KH-310...Absolutely!

Passive Attenuators (ie:Pads) as shown above are the ideal method of optimizing Levels/SNR.

These simple devices give us a Pro-Grade means of optimizing matters to our own specific Use-Case needs.   Highly Recommended.

Re: Volume Limit Feature Request

Do the Shure attenuators have any advantages over the much cheaper JRS MA-123?
Quality, precision?

Except for the different attenuation values?

Shure: -15, -20- 25 dB
JTS: -10, -20, -30 dB

Re: Volume Limit Feature Request

I dont think there are notable differences

Re: Volume Limit Feature Request

Differences?   I also think not.

I inexpensively sourced some very nice Pads last year from a small, local Vendor that have worked perfect!   Neutrik Barrels for a precise fit, and Dale/Vishay 1% Resistors.

They're "better" only because they suit my level matching needs more closely.  Therein lies the reason they're Better for me.  No Magic here.  Quality Parts/Construction is all that matters. wink

<$40  for a Stereo Pair?

I got a good deal!
