I just finished a pair of shorty 18" XLR > 1/8" with 12db Attenuation in the XLRs for My Korg MR-1
This is so I can run my NT222's, my Grace Pre, and PSP-2 and keep the levels reasonable on the MR-1. Up till now I have had to run at -12db almost every show.
I used Musilux cable, Neutrik XLR's and RatShack gold 1/8" connectors. For the Attenuation I used 1% hand matched resistors in the following config:
>----75 Ohm --+----->
|
47 Ohm
|
>----75 Ohm --+----->
Pain fitting the Resistors and all the heat shrink it to a Female XLR but they did fit - barely
