Frequently Asked Questions
Being a passive device, there's virtually no latency or phase shift – it's a transparent signal path.
Yes, the passive design is generally safe for ribbon microphones, but always double-check your mic's sensitivity and amplifier's output level.
The dim function provides a consistent attenuation, typically around -10dB, which is useful for critical listening and avoiding ear fatigue.
