I have an Ocean Digital WR-10 internet radio tuner and its output is so hot, I can only turn it to the second point on my Apt Holman's volume control. It appears I need a T-pad and I know in the distant past, you could buy one assembled. Anyone know of any out there - the input and output impedances are so low, I don't think they need to be matched. A variable one would be even better.
Anyone know where to get a T-pad?

Wouldn't inline attenuators do the same thing?

Harrison Labs 12 dB RCA Line Level Audio Attenuator PairAttenuators reduce the drive signal to an amplifier so that the input level or gain control can be adjusted in a more useful range. For example, if the line driver has an 8 volt output and the amplifier has a 100mV (0.1V) to 2 volt range of...

One could roll one's own fixed level T-pad, easy-peasy (or, perhaps more grammatically, easily-peasily

I think that should do the trick and Parts Express is right down the road from me! Thanks very much!!
Thanks for this. However, Olson_jr suggested in-line signal attenuators that take the math out of the situation. I tried figuring out a t-pad and the resistor values required weren't avaialble anywhere I could find. But I do appreciate your message.

I have some from Rothwell, in England, that I'm not using. I'd be happy to send you the lot of them and you can experiment. Buy what you like if you want.

Thanks very much, but Olson_Jr gave me the solution. But, again, thanks very much for the offer.
