Re: Speaker Kill Switch

[mc99218@xxxxxxxxx]

An L-Pad can be placed between the source and speaker assuming a
equalized(impedance balanced 8 ohn line.
It keeps a constant more or less load on the sourec while varying the
speaker volume.

The Kill switch will wrk with little consequence assuming a robust
amplifier and low levels of audio ,ya never know about some amps though
to reacting to impedance mismatch

L-Pads are available at any good sound shop.
You man make them out of 8-20 OHM wire wound Pots
