SW1X Audio Design™ 24 Way Stepped Attenuator Volume Control

 

Designed and built in house, our new stepped attenuators offer a significant improvement in musicality, transparency & overall organic presentation over any conductive platic pots and any stepped attenutor switches available on the market.

The SW1X attenuators are used in all our higher performance level Pre- Amplfier and Integrated Amplifier products but are also offered on separate standalone custom made to order basis. Please get in touch with us and inquire about build details.

SW1X Stepped Attenuator with Bakelite board spacer

Our stepped attenuators are the most transparent, most natural, dynamic & most importantly musical sounding resistive attenuators money can buy.

That makes them a huge step up from any resistive plastic type potentiometers, which sounds veiled, thinner & synthetic and also anaemic in comparison.

 

For maximum dynamic preservation all our attenuators are shunt type.

One can order any impedance from 10-250K.

Both Mono and Stereo models are offered in 5 versions:

  • Black Series, Black Fibre Boards, with Copper ground wire, non-magnetic 0.5W Carbon resistors in shunt, non-magnetic AB 2W resistors in series
  • Grey Series, Black Fibre/Brown Bakelite boards and Copper ground wire, non-magnetic 0.5W Carbon resistors in shunt, non-magnetic AN Copper 2W Tantalum resistors
  • Brown Series, with all Bakelite boards and fine Silver ground wire, non-magnetic 2W Carbon resistors in shunt and non-magnetic AN Copper 2W Niobium in series
  • Gold Series, no expense spared Series, with all Bakelite boards and fine Silver ground wire, non-magnetic 0.5W Copper Tantalum resistors in shunt, non-magnetic AN Copper Niobium resistors in series
  • Silver Series, no expense spared Series, with all Bakelite boards and fine Silver ground wire, non-magnetic 0.5W Silver Tantalum resistors in shunt, non-magnetic AN Silver Niobium resistors in series
