| If you have two different
kinds of power amplifiers and want to use them both at the same time, but
they supply different amounts of gain, what do you do? |
| One solution is to add a
little bit of attenuation to the input(s) of the amplifier which has more
gain than the other one. |
| This is accomplished by
inserting a simple two-resistor voltage divider between the amplifier's
input RCA jacks and the amplifier's input circuitry as follows: |
|
| You should first find out
what the amplifier's input impedance is. After that, you may have to do
a little bit of experimenting to determine exactly how much attenuation
to give the amplifier. Usually, about 2dB to 5dB of attenuation is enough. |
| The following tables show
the amount of additional attenuation provided by different R1
/ R2 resistor combinations - for use with amplifiers which have
specific input impedances. |
