the only downside (and a small one) is that the actual travel to attenuate to silence and back to full volume seems to be about 1/3 turn. But if you know that, then it's not an issue. No heat build up that I have noticed yet. Very easy to install.

Needed to turn the volume down on one speaker in a PA setup, it was too near a mic and causing some echoing. Easy to install and did the job. I used the box to make a housing....

This is a Pass/Fail review because the attenuator either works or it doesn't. It works well and is well made. I appreciate the enclosed wiring diagram! This product passes the test! I would definitely buy another one or any other product from this company.
