PRESS RELEASE
iNano Compact Passive Volume Attenuator
January 18, 2008
Advertisement In addition to the full range of SM Pro Audio products (Analog Series, Red Valve, Value, & Microphone Series), the new "iNano" passive volume control is to be showcased at the NAMM 2008 International trade show. Visitors are welcome Thursday Jan 17 - Sunday Jan 20 2008 at the SM Pro Audio stand, Hall A - booth#6809 Anaheim Convention Centre, CA, USA. Let's get small - the iNano is a super compact desktop sized passive volume attenuator. Building on the success of the original SM Pro Audio Nano Patch, the iNano has been designed for use with a variety of consumer based systems. It enters the market as one of the smallest passive problem solvers on the market. A great way to passively attenuate stereo signals from computers, soundcards, CD players, pre-amps, and mixers, the iNano allows precise level adjustment to analog audio source material. Featuring balanced combo XLR/TRS and 3.5mm input jacks and TRS and 3.5mm outputs, mute switch, and a good sized rotary volume encoder, the iNano is simply one of the most affordable improvements you could ever make to your desktop studio. The iNano passive series does not have any active elements, thereby allowing audio signals to be attenuated and mixed together transparently and without coloration. The iNano 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 iNano. 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. No active circuitry, buffers, transistors, batteries, or power supply of any kind can interfere with the main passive output of the iNano. It simply delivers attenuated signal. Pure, simple, transparent. The iNano is set for release at a list price of USD $69.00 When Danny Olesh (Product Manager) from SM Pro Audio was asked about the new iNano release he said, "Consumer audio enthusiasts are interested in getting the most out of their equipment. The iNano helps them get the most out of their audio experience whilst adding convenient hands on control."    (Click for close-up)
