This device, and the Pultec EQ, were my second batch of "RED BOXES". Unfortunately the thread where I posted the pics, do
not exist anymore because the old forum is gone for years, so I repost them here.

This is a balanced/unbalanced router and attenuator, mostly for mastering work.
I used ELMA switches as stepped attenuators, and quality gold plated Neutrik XLR connectors.
Resistors were so strictly matched that at any step the error between the two channels is not more than 0.01dB.

that design Chris is completly smooth. I like, as I've always been into the consistent designs that you've shared. : )
hopefully it sounds as nice on sound as it is in the visual realm.

cheers

It sounds totaly transparent. At some local audiophile meetings I was asked to bring this box. You know, audiophiles think that pro-audio is something inferior to audiophilia. This box sounded cleaner than all the big money equipment presented. So this box became some kind of local legend. :grin:
Also it was good enough for someone, to give me in exchange for one of these and a bus compressor an AV0CET mastering monitor controller. So at this moment I have only one left.

These are old pics (three or four years ago), I don't have pics from the inside, but if I will pull it out of the rack, I will take some pictures.
