I read that a passive attenuator (volume controller) can create a HP filter due to high capaciitor rating in monitor(powered speaker) cables impedance rating.
An other words a decent passive attenuator can cause loss of HF due to mis -match of impedance of the controller and monintors**especially in long cable runs.
Is there any truth to this?
What is considered long cable lengths anyway? 10ft? 20 ft?
To boil it down, I want a monitor passive volume controller between my DAW interface to a set of power monitors- to set the volume.
I'm looking at box with a passive attenuator vs SPL volume 2-which is actually a active box
Any one have a clue? mshilarious?
