Ampetronic ATT30 User manual

The ATT30 is intended to interface a low impedance speaker output to a high
impedence balanced line input such as those found on Ampetronic preamplifiers
and induction loop amplifiers. The unit provides a balanced resistive attenuation
of -30dB.
The standard version of the ATT30 is not suitable for use with unbalanced or low
impedance inputs, nor should it be connected to microphone inputs of any type. It
should not be used with 100V line speaker systems; use the ATT100 instead.
1. Speaker output connection
The speaker output should be connected to the 3-pin input plug as shown below.
The safety ground connection is not essential and does not connect through the
ATT30. Similarly, the polarity of the speaker connections is not critical.
Do NOT insert the 3-pin plug into theATT30 at this stage.

2. Output connection.
The ATT30 should be plugged directly into the line level input of the amplifier or
preamplifier. This input must be balanced and high impedance. Note the
restrictions on use at the head of this sheet.
Under no circumstances should the output be extended, not even using a
screened cable. The connection is high impedance and would be susceptible to
interference.
When the ATT30 has been connected to the equipment input, the 3-pin plug from
the speaker line may be inserted into the ATT30. The unit is now installed and
ready for use.
The ATT30 contains connections to speaker systems which may carry hazardous
voltages. If any damage to the unit is visible do not use the ATT30, but switch off all
attached systems and disconnect the unit from them before switching on again.
Never attempt to open or modify the unit.
