Cubilux 3.5mm Stereo Volume Controller, Headphones Volume Attenuator with Full Aluminum Alloy Case for Interference Isolation, 1/8-Inch Volume Inline Volume Control

This review is for the Cubilux 3.5mm Stereo Volume control.These have multiple uses,And are ideal for instant easy access control of any low-level signal ie: not for your 200w output from your amp to your main hi-fi speakers...They have a metal housing which sheilds the signals from outside interference and are both solid and well made.Having bought one to see if they were any good I ended up buying two more.I bought them to use when recording gigs on my Zoom F4 recorders.I needed something to attenuate the line output to my Dslr's Mic inputs so that I could get a proper level on the Audio recording in the F4 without it overloading the input on the Cameras and I needed to be able to do this On-The-Fly as and when needed as the bands were playing.The F4's do have output attenuation but you need to set it before you start recording, as you also have to do on the Cameras.And whilst that's fine for studio work where you have full control over the recording enviroment is pretty much useless when recording live bands as the levels can go up/down throughout the gig as the soung guys adjust their sound,and you can't just stop recording to adsjust your audio level.These allow me to do just that by taking the F4's line out to the input on these and then then take their output direct to the camera.Then set the F4 to the right level and tame the output before it gets to the Cameras input and that's it, job done and I've got easily adjustable levels.The pot is smooth with a good level of feel and balanced in action on the audio output.There's two little rubber feet on the underside if you want to put then on a desk.Prior to getting these I'd bought a line attenuator, little black box with 3 resistors inside giving 18db of drop,These are much more useful and a lot better quality.All in all an invaluable bit of kit for me personally and great value.Highly recommended
