In-Line Microphone PAD
The ideal solution when your microphone and/or preamp does not have a PAD switch and your microphone has a high output. Highly recommended for use with a D-Sub. Also perfect for use with certain popular drum microphones such as the Shure Beta52 and Beyer-Dynamic M201, which have a very high output level and no built-in PAD switch.
A great example of when an in-line PAD is useful is when using a high-output microphone with a Neve 1073 (or clone) preamp. Even when the level is OK with the gain all the way down, these types of preamps have a circuitry that sounds best when at least some gain is added. a PAD brings the microphone’s output level to a level where you are able to take advantage of the sonic benefits of your preamp. Another example is a live sound mixer, such as the popular Mackie ProFX line. The mic preamps on these boards do not have a PAD. A Beta52A straight into these boards will overload the preamp even with the gain all the way down, when playing loud rock. An in-line PAD will offer just the right amount of headroom to dial in the gain perfectly.
Another benefit of my PADs is the fact that it’s constructed with male and female XLR connector and approximately 3” of cable between them. This configuration is much more practical than a barrel type in-line PAD, which would stick out of either the end of a microphone or on the input of the preamp with the risk of being snapped off and damaging your equipment.
My PADs are 100% transparent. They will not affect the signal in any way other than dropping the level 10 or 20dB. Not recommended for line level signals.
Total length: approximately 9”.
High Quality Components - High Quality Sound - Lifetime Warranty
I use only the highest quality components for these cables. Mogami cable and a Neutrik XX series gold connector, as well as high quality solder.
I offer a lifetime warranty. In the extremely unlikely event your cable stops working (under normal use) within one year, I will repair it and pay for shipping. If it stops working after one year, I will be happy to repair it for free. You just pay shipping and replacement parts (if needed).
