C'est un atténuateur de volume passif. À priori très intéressant pour le monitoring d'une carte son, ou pour atténuer tout autre niveau ligne. Il est muni d'un mute (avec relais, donc pas de coupure brutale de son). La taille de l'atty est comparable à une DI box courante. Ça semble solide, les connecteurs XLR-TRS proviennent de chez Neutrik. Construit aux États-Unis.
Vendu environ 100$US.
UTILISATION
La course du potard est progressive, le mute s'enclenche en douceur. C'est tout ce qu'on lui demande. L'ergonomie générale n'est pas parfaite, car les câbles insérés de chaque côté rendent son positionnement difficile et instable.

Absolument transparent, aucune coloration...…

(contenu en anglais)The A Designs ATTY is a 2 channel passive unit that only cost 100 bucks. It has a mute panic button on it and 2 balanced XLR outputs with 2 Neutrik inputs. You can use the A Designs ATTY for several uses; I mainly use it to control the levels of my monitors for my live sets. The A Designs ATTY is very easy to use and there is no set up or installation involved. It is plug and play. If I could change something on the A Designs ATTY I would add some sort of a meter so you could see the level in the dark because that is where I use it at the most. I have had the A Designs ATTY since 2009 and I have used it a bunch of times. I am still in search of the right unit to deliver what I am looking for. Not that the A Designs ATTY is not good it just is more for someone who has a simple set up and does not do much live work. It is difficult for me to use this anymore.
UTILIZATION
In the studio I use it with a Preamp. Using it does not make your signal weak and your sound quality will still sound clean.
SOUND QUALITY
The sound quality will not change while using the A Designs ATTY. It will keep your audio signal clean and warm to give you a great sound.
OVERALL OPINION
There really is nothing that I hate about the A Designs ATTY I just had a few things about it that I would change. But for the price of 100 you really cannot expect much more. Knowing what I know now I would make this choice again if I needed to and probably even buy another one if anything happened to mine. I have used many models of 2 channel units. Not to many of them in this price range though.

(contenu en anglais)The A-Designs ATTY is a unique device that is a stereo passive leveling box. It's made for a variety of purposes to get you extra level at whatever stage you're putting it at. It has two XLR inputs and outputs and has a built in mute button and volume control knob. It isn't rackable as it's a standalone box.
UTILIZATION
There's not much at all to using the A-Designs ATTY as once you make your connections you're more or less good to go. It only has a volume control knob and mute button as controls, which is definitely self explanatory. I think the main thing with the ATTY is setting it up and finding a proper usage for it. I haven't ever looked at the manual for this and don't expect to be needing to.
SOUND QUALITY
The A-Designs ATTY is a passive box and won't affect your sound quality positively or negatively. It's simply a line level controller so sound quality isn't really a consideration here. I will say that I haven't noticed any decline in quality when this box is being used, as it seems theory is correct here with this being passive...
OVERALL OPINION
While not everyone is going to have a need for A-Designs ATTY, for those who do this is a high quality option at a pretty reasonable price. A-Designs outlines all the uses for this on their site, but I've used it for volume control on a passive set of speakers for the most part, although it does float around at the studio and will sometimes be used for other purposes. It's something that's going to be needed as a necessity or utility and not as a luxury or tone item. Again, if you have a need for something like this, ATTY is one of the only of it's kind that I've seen and is one definitely worth exploring.

briankSimple mais génial
Publié le 28/08/11 à 19:57 (contenu en anglais)The ATTY is a stereo two channel passive line level attenuator box.
Controls are dead simple: a smooth feeling rotary pot for continuous signal attenuation, and a quality pushbutton for hard mute, both of which control both channels all the time.
The ATTY has Neutrik combo XLR & 1/4" TRS connectors for inputs, and goldpin XLRs for outputs. The only thing stopping me from rating this section as "Perfect" is that I'd have liked to see some parallel 1/4" TRS jacks at the output as well as the input.
The box itself is strong as a brick and is finished in A-Designs lovely but durable glossy black with quality silkscreening. My oldest ATTY is at least 6 years old now and still looks good.
UTILIZATION
This box is a general purpose unit for any line level signal attenuation. It has a good, smooth range of attenuation and a fairly linear taper.
My favorite uses are for digital tracking situations where I want to run an analog output hot, but have the signal hit a digital converter lightly for best headroom--so the ATTY is a natural to have inline between a mic preamp that I want to hit hard, but still have my signal into a digital converter peaking at no more than about -9dBfs. I especially appreciate the stereo nature of the ATTY between fast-transient stereo signals such as drum overhead mic pres and digital inputs. I also like to patch the ATTY inline between my analog console's 2mix out and digital converter ins when printing mixes into ProTools--I can cream the console's 2mix to my heart's extent but still get sober levels into ProTools by attenuating the post-2mix signal into the digital converters.
Many ITB users will find the ATTY to be a great, simple analog volume control between digital interface output sums and active studio monitor inputs--which is no doubt what A-Designs had in mind when offering a hard mute button on the unit.
I have three ATTYs (all of which I find routine use for) and I can't remember if they even came with a manual. There's one knob, one button and they're both labeled, what more is there to know?
SOUND QUALITY
Well, you're always going to lose a little bit when you're adding two more connection points to a signal chain, but the ATTY mitigates this with good quality, gold plated connections that don't tend to oxidize, and the passive nature of the unit means there's nothing to power up and add noise to, and as little as possible to additionally make the signal pass through. This all means that the ATTY does very little to harm your signal. It brings the level down and that's about it. No more, no less.
OVERALL OPINION
A-Designs is one of my very favorite gear makers. Overall, the ATTY is a great general purpose studio tool that does what I want it to as simply as possible--no more, no less. It's dead simple to use, quiet, and the quality is very good.
There's only one thing that particularly bugs me about this unit: when the level pot is almost at its lowest point of travel, one side of the stereo signal will drop out before the other. This is very common with passive attenuation, but it still would would have been swell if A-Designs had used a pot that gets around this and keeps both channels dead even 'til the bitter end of the pot's travel. The upshot is that I wouldn't use this box for an analog fade-out cue. Having some 1/4" TRS jacks at the output as well as input would have been nice too, though adapter patch cords get around that just fine. Otherwise, no complaints and this doesn't stop me using my ATTYs all the time to great effect. I would and did buy more.

STEREO ATTENUATOR
Pristine Sound - Affordable and Easy to Use
The ATTY (rhymes with “Patty”) is a no-compromise totally transparent passive two-channel line-level attenuator. ATTY’s attractive price point and tiny footprint (4-1/2” x 1-1/2” x 3”) makes it a highly versatile and convenient solution for many applications. Suitable for use in any world-class recording facility, it can also serve as a cost-effective solution to more than a few problems faced by project studio owners, and is an invaluable addition to just about any live or remote broadcast rig.
ATTY’s interface is simplicity personified. Housed in a rugged metal enclosure, it has two Neutrik XLR/balanced 1/4” combo jacks and two balanced XLR outputs that deliver noise-free operation. A single convenient knob controls both output channels, and a Mute button lets you easily silence your source without having to change a dialed-in level.
ATTY’s passive design allows it to be used in a plethora of applications, the most common being control of any line-level output device…but wait - there’s more! Say you’re recording kick drum and snare with an API 3124. The input gain is set at the sweet spot…but, due to the API’s hot output, you need a touch of attenuation to protect your converters from clipping, and you don’t want to change sound quality by using its pads or record with compression. ATTY is the answer. Another useful application is wiring an ATTY in line with a stereo tube preamp (such as the A-Designs MP-2A) and exploring different in/out level combinations without overloading other gear. It’s also a handy device for maintaining level control of powered monitors that have a separate volume control on each speaker. Once you calibrate your monitors to equal levels, you need never touch them again.
If you find yourself in situations where more than two inputs and outputs require level control, be sure to check out ATTY’s rack mountable big brother, the six-channel ATTY2’D.
Add an ATTY or two to your live or studio setup today. You won’t believe how much bang you get for your buck.
