Control volume at speaker cable level for A/B??


Hello,

I have a speaker-level switchbox, and I want to do some A/B comparisons between speakers. The volume control on my switchbox is to coarse to effectively match the volume between the speakers.

Is there a way that I can attach a volume control device to one of the pairs of speaker cable so that I can match the volume of the 2 pairs of speakers precisely?

Is there an off the shelf product that will let me do this?

Thanks in advance!!!

Elevick - Yeah, I actually have a Niles box. Unfortunately the steps are like 3DB apart so it is hard to match the volumes with it
Thanks Peter! I have a 200W amp (Class D). Should these be compatible with it?

Thanks,

Buy 2 (Mono) or 4 (Stereo) of these, this way both speakers (sets) have the same set of circumstances for evaluating them.

Best of luck

Niles and others have made speaker selectors with volume for each pair of speakers.
I'm OK with the fact that a switchbox isn't 100% transparent. ANyone know of one with a fine-grained volume control?

Or an easy to hookup smooth volume control that I can just run the louder speakers into and attenuate?
A better option would be for you to get a cheap spl meter and mark the volume positions on your preamp where both speakers are at the same level. Using a switchbox will definitely effect how the system sounds. You won't have A/B switching doing it this way, but you really don't need to use it.
