Frequently Asked Questions
Normalization essentially creates a 'phantom' connection; it's active unless you physically patch a signal to break the link. It can be a powerful tool, but also a potential source of unexpected results if you're not paying attention.
While it’s generally clean, attenuating extremely low-level signals *can* amplify inherent noise. Proper gain staging and a clean power supply are essential for pristine results with very quiet sources.
The Atte is significantly more compact and affordable, but the Quadrax offers more advanced features like voltage scaling and more sophisticated routing. The Atte excels in its simplicity and small footprint for basic signal manipulation.
