Shure A15AS Switchable In-Line Attenuator
The Shure A15AS, a switchable in-line attenuator, lowers a microphone signal by 15, 20, or 25 dB, so loud sources do not overload a low-impedance input.
It works with any low-impedance microphone, including phantom-powered condensers such as the Shure SM81, and it passes phantom power when it sits between the mic and its power supply.
The attenuator bridges the mic output, so it handles high levels with little added distortion. The steel barrel has a full magnetic shield and a gray enamel finish.

About Shure
Shure began in 1925 as the Shure Radio Company, a radio parts wholesaler in Chicago. In 1953 they introduced the Vagabond 88, the first handheld wireless microphone system for performers. They launched the SM57 in 1965 and the SM58 in 1966, and their Axient Wireless System followed in 2011. Today their range covers microphones, wireless systems, in-ear monitoring, headphones, and earphones.
