Pearstone IMA-1030 Reviews

Works as advertised

By Puo-Chen

Rated 5 out of 5

I am a wedding videographer that likes to get my audio from DJ's, because the wedding DJ's in my area actually knows their equipment and how to do good sounds. But when I get the XLR out from their speakers, it's always just a bit too hot for my DJI Mic 2 and Rode Wireless Go. With this attenuator, it just takes the edge off, so nothing is peaking, and I can fine tune the level from my wireless mics. I have only tried this with the QSC K12.2 loud speakers, but I'd think it would be the same for other speakers line out. This kinda turns line level to mic level so your smaller mic devices don't peak.

Works Great
