Convert 10dbU to 4dbV with attenuation

Oct 18, 2006 1 Replies

Hiya,



I have two devices:



One professional DAC converter with a output impedance of 51 ohms, 4dbU output which can be balanced TRS or unbalanced TS jacks, whichever is easiest for this.



A consumer-grade amplifier which is 10dbV standard with 20k input impedance.



I want to build an attennuator to convert the levels and add 35-40dB attenuation as well, to the signal.



Been looking at a H-type attenuator, but not too sure on the resistors needed etc.



Any pointers for the best way to do this?



Thanks



To de-spam change n3t to net and remove .inv

I'd stick two 5K pots on the output, and adjust so the red light doesnt come on. But a 40dB att is 100:1 so a 100R to ground and a 10K from the DAC will be fine, and with 1% tolerance stuff, no problems
