So… been meaning to shoot something like this for some time, here you have it.

It’s a long journey into what an attenuator can do for you, with powerful, loud tube amps (ONLY tube amps can be attenuated with an attenuator such as the Aracom).

Total of 6 videos, all being processed right now, here’s the one.

Thanks for viewing, yours,

What this Aracom PRX150-DAG looks like up close (it’s the one on the RIGHT 😛 ):

Technical notes:

While discussing with Jeff, Aracom Owner, Jeff told me

BTW: With the PRX150 in the “F” (Variable) position, the output of an amp putting out 100 watts is between 0.07 to 1.5 watt entering the speaker cabinet, therefore only 25% of that per speaker, based on a 4×12 cab.

0.1 of a watt (entering the cab) can be considered above conversation level, have to talk loud above it. It is amazing how “loud” less than a watt is.

Those buying low wattage amps to crank up and play in their homes without disturbing someone would still have to rely on the Master Volume control or an attenuator.

I see that someone asked about the price. Our dealer sells the PRX150-DAG for $785
