Reduce an XLR audio signal before it reaches a downstream input with an inline attenuator that offers three selectable attenuation settings: -10, -20, and -30. This makes it possible to lower an incoming signal level at the connection point rather than changing the source device or adding a larger external audio component. The AT8202 format is intended for placement directly within an XLR signal run. Selectable attenuation gives installers a practical choice when the amount of level reduction required is not known until equipment is connected. Start with the setting appropriate to the connected source and input, then select a greater reduction when the received signal remains too high. The three fixed settings provide repeatable attenuation choices without requiring software, network access, or an external power connection. Western Digital VX50-1-FF-AGP2 corresponds to the AT8202 inline XLR attenuator. Its defining capability is the choice of three attenuation levels in one inline device, rather than a single fixed reduction value. It fits audio signal paths that need a straightforward physical method of reducing level between interconnected equipment. Select the attenuation setting required for the connected audio path and install the attenuator in the XLR connection where the level reduction is needed.
