Sorry Greg read your post wrongly the first time. To start you can use Vishays (series resistor) with the same value as your attenuator.However if you are planning to use it as a passive, then your Elma HT attenuator should not be higher than 10k ohm to start otherwise your output impedance might be too high. What's the output impedance of your source and input impedance of your amp?
The shunt design connection is as follows:
Input Hot----VISHAY Resistor----Output Hot

Attenuator Wiper (usually middle)Attenuator Ground

GroundThe inpot and output RCA ground sleeve is of course connected to ground.
Your attenuation range will be slightly different from using it in the traditional method.Let me know what value your attenuator is and I should be able to work out the attenuation range for you.
