"attenuator or attenuator pad Electronics. A passive network that reduces the voltage (or power; see usage note under gain) level of a signal with negligible distortion, but with insertion loss. Often a purely resistive network, although any combination of inductors, resistors and capacitors are possible, a pad may also provide impedance matching." | "attenuator or attenuator pad Electronics.

<blockquote> | |||
A quality inline pad can be easily soldered [makes no sense to spend extra money here]: | |||
Insert 3 resistors into your mic cable: | |||
* 2x 470 ohms, inserted into line 2+3 [absolute value +/- 10%, but matched to less than 1% tolerance] | |||
* 1x 470 ohms, inserted between pin 2+3 on the console side. | |||
