Just saw this …Passive line attenuator
Probably the least expensive non-DIY way to balance top & bottom centers:
Just put it in line with the center you want to attenuate…. For example if you want less volume from your top center …

Prepro center out —> Y splitting cable
Y out a —> attenuator —> amp —> top center speaker
Y out b —> amp —> bottom center speaker

Simple, no? Happy new year

That'll destroy fidelity faster than Catherine the Great destroying her bumbling Peter.

It's a parasitic component. It may even act as a fusible link; no specs on voltage or current withstand.

Yup mostly due to no useful, basic specs.

Reason I found that attenuator was Amirm’s Review
Does that make this $10 part any more palatable?

FYI: Amirm did review another Passive attenuator
At $17 it looks and specs a bit better
But I suspect either will do the job

Yes. It'll work good with low level signals from pre/pro to amp. Just don't put it between your amp and speaker or it will act as a very good fusible link. smile
