Danish Audio ConnecT (DACT). Manufacturer of high quality audio parts. Press Release: 8-gang DACT CT2 stepped audio attenuator. Expands the range of DACT products for Home Theater / AV audio. DACT is introducing a line of stepped audio attenuators with 8 decks for 8-channel AV audio applications. To be used by high-end equipment manufacturers and DIYs that want to build their own or upgrade existing equipment.

Tim, Denmark, July 2002:

Danish Audio ConnecT (DACT) is introducing a new line of 8-channel volume controls to meet the demand from the expected growing market of 7.1 channel Home Theater audio systems.
The targeted customer group is both high-end audio equipment manufacturers and DIYs. Audiophiles will find the new attenuators valuable for either upgrading ready-made 8-channel equipment or building their own active or passive 8-channel preamps.
The new volume controls build on the well-know high-precision stepped audio attenuators from DACT.
The new attenuators have 8 separate decks to allow simultaneously adjusting the volume of eight audio channels.
The 8-gang attenuators feature 24 positions like the other DACT audio attenuators, and same unique specifications like for instance:

-  Bandwidth (10kOhm): 50MHz -  Channel matching: +/-0.05dB -  THD: 0.0001% -  Mechanical life, min.: 25,000 cycles

Available resistance are 10, 20, 50, 100, 250 and 500kOhms.
For more specifications we refer to the attenuator pages at the DACT web site.
