DRIVE UNITS BY MANUFACTURER:
AT-50H1-8
Categories: L-Pad Attenuators
Variable L-pad (or lpad) attenuator / level control for use in domestic loudspeaker systems.
Allows straightforward adjustment of output, making it easy to combine drive units of unequal sensitivity for the best sound balance.
Provides an 8 ohm load on the input terminals regardless of its setting ~ it will not interfere with a crossover, making it very easy to use & optimise your speakers.
The elements are wirewound & it has a rugged heat resistant body.
The mounting post is 10mm & it is supplied with a plastic control knob.
I have an old Marantz amp which can drive two sets of speakers quite happily but without fader control. Newer versions have this! I added a second set of speakers but to allow ‘fader’ functionality I needed to control the additional units. A bit of diy adding these attenuator units did the trick. They are easy to connect and have a reassuring feeling with a slight clicking as the volume is increased or decreased.
Very happy with the result!

Product as described, easy to cut & fit.
On reflection having now fitted the foam, I wish it was 15mm to 18mm or even 20mm thick. This is not a complaint. For a small speaker under 30cm high it’s perfect. For a larger speaker I feel a thicker sponge would hold its structure more pleasingly, its aesthetics, but important for the finished look.
I’ve been building my own home cinema as a complete DIY project and reached the stage where I needed some decent acoustic foam for my speaker panels (also DIY!) so I picked up 3 large sheets from here. They were sent quickly, packed well and moreover, are of excellent quality. With them being folded into the shipping box they were slightly creased but after leaving them out overnight on a flat surface, the creases fell out completely. They’re now in place and doing their job brilliantly. Cheers Willys Hifi!
The crossover was constructed well, I just need to figure out the best way to attach it to my Kef Concertos as they are bigger than the ones supplied by Kef that are mounted on the front of the baffle board.
Very nice deep bass look amazing with my custom made speaker
Great speedy delivery and very easy to fit. The plastic in my drivers had perished and they had suffered one too many parties! No need to make any adjustments (someone above did suggest that). I just screwed them in and the foam compressed into place. Before and after below (before I changed speaker number 2). Thank you!
