In addition to the full range of SM Pro Audio products, the Nano Patch passive volume control will be showcased at NAMM 2007. Visitors are welcome to visit the SM Pro Audio team at Booth#6809, January 18-21, 2007 - Anaheim convention center, Anaheim, California, USA.
The Nano Patch is a super compact desktop sized passive volume attenuator. Building on the success of the original M-Patch and M-Patch 2 passive attenuators, the new Nano Patch enters the market as one of the smallest passive problem solvers on the market.
A great way to passively attenuate stereo signals from soundcards, CD players, pre-amps, and mixers, the Nano Patch is designed to allow precise level adjustments to analog audio source material. Featuring balanced combo XLR/TRS input jacks and TRS outputs, mute switch, and a good sized rotary volume encoder, the Nano Patch is an affordable improvement for many studios.
The Nano Patch really comes into its own when connected between your computer audio interface/soundcard master outputs and a pair of active (powered) monitor speakers. One of the benefits of passive volume attenuation is that you no longer have to control volumes with your software's master volume fader.
Reducing levels from your software only reduces the audio bit depth. It is much more appropriate to keep your software masters at unity and attenuate the audio to your active monitors with a passive controller like the Nano Patch. This way you can maintain maximum audio resolution and attenuate your monitoring volume with the confidence that the sonic integrity of your audio is not compromised.
