	The SA4 Level Control




	SA4 Precision Level Controls can take the place of complex active preamplifiers in many systems, and can serve as complete preamp solutions for audiophile purists.
	A typical SA4 application is as a level control between your CD / DVD players, or other components, and your power amplifier(s). They are also great for general use on any audio test bench.

	No distortion is added to your signal path while performing level control. (Active preamps add in at least some distortion.)
	4-position selector switch allows level control for multiple signal sources.
	AUX Input is designed to allow easy rewiring for such uses as: 1) Fourth Line Input (factory default). 2) Tape Output. 3) Main Output #2. 4) "Direct In" (wired directly to the stepped attenuator, bypassing the selector switch)
	Goldpoint precision stepped attenuator for low noise and excellent channel-to-channel signal level matching.

Specifications:

Stepped Attenuator: Stereo Mini-V with precision 0.1%, 25ppm, thin film resistors.

AUX Input can be easily rewired for an alternate use.
     1) Fourth Line Input (factory default).
     2) Tape Output.
     3) Main Output #2.
     4) "Direct In" (wired directly to the stepped attenuator, bypassing the selector switch)

Wiring: High grade, silver-plated copper, multi-stranded, with Teflon jacketing.

Rear Panel RCA Jacks: Gold-plated, Tiffany style.

DC IN Jack: A location is provided to power possible added internal circuits, such as buffers or preamplifiers.

Dimensions: 2.3" Tall x 6.2" Wide x 7.0" Long

Weight: approx.: 1 3/4 lb.

Gold plated RCA jacks are
recessed into our 1/4" thick
rear panels.

Ground Switching:
All SA4 Input and Output ground connections are bussed together.
(The older "open chassis photo" above shows the SA4 wired for Ground Switching,
meaning that the RCA ground connections on the older units were switched
along with the Input Signal lines.)

About Stepped Attenuator Values:
We offer the SA1s and SA4s with 25K or 50K stepped attenuator values. These values are the best choices when a person may want to use their SA control with both solid-state and/or vacuum tube gear. However, unless otherwise requested we ship them with the 25K stepped attenuator value.
