Using the attenuator

Stage & Studio Power Station PS-2
1

From reading the manual and watching some youtube videos it looks like the attenuator can be used in two ways make a loud amp quieter and make a small amp sound bigger. when using a small amp for example a princeton or a small tweed amp with a low wattage speaker could you possibly damage the speaker?

Hi @ssmitty00

We recommend volume matching slowly when using a low-power amp with the PS-2A or PS-100.

  • Power off PS-2A and amp
  • Put PS-2A volume on zero
  • Connect your amp to the PS-2A and then the PS-2A to the speaker.

Turn on the PS-2A.

With the PS-2A in BYPASS your amp is connected directly to your speaker. The signal goes right through the PS-2A. So turn up the amp to a reasonably loud setting (the loudest you want for your application).

  • With PS-2A volume knob at zero, turn PS-2A into OPERATE.

Now, very slowly increase the volume until you hear something.

  • Now put the PS-2A back into BYPASS

Get a feel for the volume level.

Keep on putting the PS-2A in and out of OPERATE and BYPASS until you have matched the volume level. This is then max. safe knob position.
