Does anyone know if I hooked up some Harrison 3db attenuators is there any signal loss
Hi ejk,
Your are probably fortunate if you have dc coupling from the source output, so low frequency response
sould be good. In such a case, the main concern would be with high frequency response as the internal
resistor voltage divider and load capacitances would increase high frequency losses.
If your source has capacitive coupling, that is another matter. With such, the total resistance
has to be high enough to preserve the low frequencies, yet low enough ohmage as to preserve the highs.
Even further, the materials, terminations etc matter as well.
Unwanted losses and distortions almost always occurs, as Scotty and others mention. Great care
concerning the variables just mentioned and specialized listening techniques are needed to
minimize sonic degradation.
hope this helps ejk and others out there.
