doepfer a-183-5 quad attenuator price : $79.00

module a-183-5 is a simple passive quad attenuator. passive means in this context, that each unit is made of two sockets and a 50k linear potentiometer only. there are no active parts like amplifiers or buffers and no power supply is required. this is how the a-183-5 works: at the output socket appears the attenuated input signal, i.e. zero level at the fully ccw position and max. level and the fully cw position.

applications:
adjustable level of cv or audio signals to control other modules that do not have attenuators available.
