While working with modulars I have had some modules lacking input attenuator or output volume. To cure that I have build this module. It is usable as active attenuator and / or amplifier. The attenuation or amplification is determined by one resistor per channel, so you can easily adjust the attenuation or amplification to your needs.

Specs and features

  • Three independent active attenuator or amplifier
  • Attenuation / amplification adjusted with one resistor.
  • Runs on +/-12V and +/-15V
  • Power consumption below 20mA each rail

The documentation and the Gerber files for download can be found in my website.
