Title: Attenuator cable for Microtrack
Post by: jbraveman on March 14, 2008, 11:05:18 AM
I can't find a good solution for this common problem and I've read through other posts on the topic.  I wan't to record line in through the 1/4 inch jacks on my microrack from my TT preamp.  The signal is too hot and clips a bit (not a lot).  Ideally someone would be able to make me a cable that includes some attenuation that has RCA jacks on one end and 1/4 inch mono jacks on the other.  I've asked a couple people without any response.

The other options include:
1) RCA Y cable to 1/8 inch stereo jack into (http://www.m-audio.com/products/en_us/MicroTrack10dBPad-main.html)
2) RCA line attenuator bullets (http://www.amazon.com/RCA-LINE-LEVEL-ATTENUATOR-dB/dp/B0002KRC54/ref=pd_bbs_sr_6?ie=UTF8&s=electronics&qid=1205506927&sr=8-6)

Any thoughts about the best way to go.? I want to do some transfers of some of my vinyl at 24/96.  For some reason my M-audio audiophile usb soundcard only really records at 48k when hooked up to my mac laptop.  Thanks
