In my search for a solution to attenuate the signal reaching my preamp, I came across these -
Amazon.com: Harrison Labs 3 dB RCA Line Level Attenuator Pair: Electronics
They look like a comfortable solution with no soldering required anywhere. However now there is a little doubt. These attenuators have values of 0.5 dB, 1dB, 3dB, 6dB and 12dB. They are used at line level.
My query - I understand dB by the amount of sound that (loudness) comes out of the loudspeaker. How do I interpret the the dB value for these line level attenuators? How much reduction of signal would a 6dB RCA attenuator cause ?
