Hosa Technology ATT-448 XLR Input Attenuator

The Hosa ATT-448 is a switchable input attenuator designed to step down an input level to a mixer when the level is too high. This device is particularly useful when dealing with a hot microphone in front of a loud source, as it can prevent the meters on the board from pegging and causing audio distortion.

The ATT-448 attenuator is placed in-line between the microphone and the board, allowing the user to select the appropriate amount of attenuation required. The choices available are 20dB, 30dB, or 40dB of signal reduction, providing a wide range of options for use on stage and in the studio.

The unit features full magnetic shielding and accepts both male and female XLR connectors, making it compatible with a variety of low-impedance and phantom-powered condenser microphones. This versatility ensures that the Hosa ATT-448 can be effectively utilized in a wide range of audio applications.

The ability to precisely control the input level is crucial in maintaining the integrity of the audio signal and avoiding unwanted distortion. By incorporating the ATT-448 into their signal chain, users can ensure that their microphone levels are optimized, allowing for a cleaner and more balanced mix.

One of the key benefits of the Hosa ATT-448 is its ease of use. The clearly labeled attenuation options make it simple to select the appropriate level of signal reduction, and the compact size of the unit allows it to be easily integrated into any audio setup.

Overall, the Hosa ATT-448 is a valuable tool for audio professionals and enthusiasts alike. Its ability to effectively manage microphone levels and prevent distortion makes it an essential component in any well-equipped audio toolkit.
