Get the most out of your mic preamps. Use your preamps as line-level saturation devices, or pad their output so you can drive them harder.

The L2P is a two-channel, balanced line/mic pad with two attenuation options. The -10dB setting is perfect for padding the output of mic preamps so you can run them hot without clipping your converters. The -30dB setting is a "line-to-mic" pad that allows you to run tracks directly from your audio interface or mixer to the inputs of your preamps.

Features:

Selectable -10dB or -30dB pads
Two channels
Excellent matching between channels for stereo operation
Line-to-mic pad

Simple and effective

Brings down a line level signal to mic level. Easy build with very good instructions. If I can solder and assemble this, you can too heh.

Great little utility box!

Easy to build, great instructions (like all DIYRE products here). Does exactly what it says it will do. Great for attenuating line level signals down so that you can mix through preamps that don’t have their own attenuation. If you are doing any hybrid mixing/mastering this is super handy to have!

Super Useful Tool for Modern DAWs

I have 5 of these little boxes and they do a great job of allowing you to get stereo pairs out of your DAW and into some preamps. A secret shortcut for young players. Super easy build, even for someone who might be a first time DIYer.
