Re: Thoughts about amplifiers at 3/4 volume.Another thing to consider, depending upon your applications is that if you run your input attenuators WFO then you don't have to worry about some schumck coming by and turning up your amps. This of course would affect the relative levels of the different bands and possibly cause damage.I pretty much agree with what John Roberts says. In an install where you can keep stick fingers off the attenuators and need better s/n ratio then there can be advantages to using them. If you are doing a music festival in a park where anyone can get near your amps, I am in the camp of setting up your gain structure with the attenuators all the way up.
