In Reply to: RE:CAT SL1 volume pot mod posted by JoeKool on July 15, 2015 at 12:32:08
Hi and thanks for the valuable advice.
I had a line stage with a gain of about 6 times (16 dB ?)
Way too much for the power amp.
The volume pot was a 10k attenuator ... i put a 10K resistor in series with its input and halved the max voltage out.
With the right combination of resistor and pot the gain can be reduced a lot indeed.
I believe a lot in the solution.
Kind regards,

Follow Ups:
I tried using an attenuation circuit(series /parallel resisters)in front the pot but SQ took a hit.
Hi i see
I do not know the actual value of the Cat SL1 pot ... but if the pot is 250k for instance you could try a 200k high quality resistor in series with a 50k attenuator.
In this way the input signal voltage reaching the pot will be reduced by around 5 times ?
You could try with cheap but decent parts first (resistor and pot) and if you like the sound then buy something of very good.
Kind regards,
