This listing is for a Precision Goldpoint 47-position, 50K Stereo stepped attenuator.
I don't have side-view picture of the Mono yet but they basically look the same as the 24- position stereo stepped attenuator with a very slightly larger wafer as shown in this photo.
The surface mounted resistors used on the Goldpoint V47s are 0.5% Nichrome THIN film with a thermal noise specification (TCR) of 25 PPM, same as on our V24s.
Although 24 positions is plenty for most applications (and it's been that way for decades), having 47 positions is desirable in some situations. The turning torque is smoother and the steps are smaller. Most steps on our 24-position Standard Mini-Vs are typically 2dB. The step size on the V47s is 1.5dB.
Goldpoint stepped attenuators may cost more, but our customers rave about them. They are considered to be the best sounding level controls available worldwide. They are unique in that their sound quality is truly clear and transparent.
Available 47-Position Values: 10K, 25K, 50K and 100K and 250K
Available 47-Position Configurations: Mono, Stereo, Quad (balanced stereo)
FEATURES:
- Exceptional sonic clarity.
- Resistors - 0.5% Nichrome THIN film with a thermal noise specification (TCR) of 25 PPM.
- Smooth, precise-feeling turning torque.
- High quality, Swiss-made switch components.
- Mono, Stereo and Quad versions available.
- Hookup is simple: 3 wires per channel connect to solder eyelets.
- Lifetime: 25,000 or more rotations (most other brands are only 10,000 rotations).
- 47-position, make-before-break, thick hard-gold plated contacts on precision engineered printed circuit boards resulting in minimum contact bounce - and therefore no clicks or pops when switching.
