ozbadman Posted October 20, 2013 Share Posted October 20, 2013 Do NOT install this between the power amp and the speaker. IT WILL START A FIRE. This is designed for signal levels. You could install it after the HD500 and before the DT, but only if you're not using L6 link. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Brazzy Posted October 21, 2013 Share Posted October 21, 2013 I guess it will get quiet as a mouse with high power coursing it's way through a line level device causing it to burn to a crisp. LOL On a more serious note, If I'm not mistaken only a proper Attenuator can be placed between the power output of the amp and the speaker. I've been looking into it a lot lately as I'm interested in the Jettenuator. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If the wires are thin (as they would be for line level devices), the wires overheat and catch fire. Their current rating is much lower than you would need. Also, a power amp is designed for a particular impedance, often 8 ohms. If it isn't connected to the correct impedance, lots of things can happen, including damaging your power amp.
