Shure A15AS - In-Line Pad with 15, 20 or 25 db of Selectable Mic Attenuation/Pad- XLR Barrel

Shure A15AS overview

The Shure A15AS is a switch selectable Microphone Attenuator which helps prevent amplifier overload when strong signals are applied. The A15AS bridges the microphone output and allows maximum signal handling without added distortion.

• Provides 15dB, 20dB or 25dB of microphone attenuation
• For use with all low-impedance and phanton-powered condenser microphones
• XLR input and output
• Full magnetic shield in a steel, gray enamel finished case
• 2 year limited warranty

Use this balanced-line attenuator to prevent low-impedance microphones (rated at 150 or 600 ohms) and high-output condenser microphones from overloading low impedance inputs in high sound pressure level applications. The values of attenuation can be switch selected for 15, 20, or 25 dB.

Use the A15AS with any low-impedance microphone, including phantom-powered condenser microphones, such as the Shure SM81. It can be used in line between the microphone and its power supply. (This model is not suitable for use with the condenser powering system called "A-B Powering.")

The A15AS attenuator bridges the microphone output and allows maximum signal handling with a minimum of loading-caused distortion or reduction in clipping level.
