#Glasshouse / NOS Audio Note switch / Takman 0.25W carbon film Stereo Shunt stepped Attenuator
PLEASE NOTE THIS IS AN ARCHIVED PAGE, TO SEE THE CURRENT VERSION PLEASE CLICK HERE.
Audio Note has moved to a new in-house designed switch for their recently launched range of stepped attenuators. As a result, we could acquire the remaining stock of their old switches at a very reasonable cost. Due to a shortage of high-quality, accurate stereo taper potentiometers, more people are turning to stepped attenuators to achieve neutral channel-matched volume controls.
The Glasshouse stereo stepped attenuator offers 23 volume positions from mute to near total volume through our tried and tested 2dB step values of resistors. The front of the switch does possess a "non-turn" lug of 3.5mm in diameter x 5mm in length that protrudes through the front panel. This can be removed with cutters if not required. For the earth ring, we use SOCT-26: Neotech Solid Copper Wire, 1/0.45mm (1m)
Dimensions
Shaft: 6mm diameter x 13mm length
Bush: 10mm diameter x 10mm length
Body, including resistors fitted (internal part): 45mm x 50mm (oval shaped) x 32mm height
The front of the switch does possess a "non-turn" metal lug of 3.5mm diameter x 5mm in length that protrudes through the front panel, so provision is needed. If not required, this can be removed with cutters. If not, a 3.5mm diameter hole 13.5mm from the centre hole of the shaft is required.

We will fit the 91K Takman Carbon resistor for those who choose a 100K impedance step, as we don`t have stock of the 100K Takman Carbon.
PRICE (1 off) 10K, 20K, 25K, 50K, 100K, 250K
We supply the following load/series resistors: If you select 10K, we actually give you 10K; 20K, we provide 22K; 25K, we give 24K; 50K, we give 51K; 100K, we provide 91K; 250K, we provide 240 K. This will not affect the performance as the difference is negligible.
