Radial SAT-2 Stereo Audio Attenuator Monitor Controller

The Radial Engineering SAT-2 Stereo Audio Attenuator and Monitor Controller is a versatile, high-quality passive volume control device designed to provide precise volume adjustment for studio monitors or line-level audio devices. Whether you’re working in a professional recording studio or managing audio for live performances, the SAT-2 delivers superior control, ensuring that audio levels remain accurate and manageable without compromising the quality of the sound.

At the heart of the SAT-2 is a large, smooth-turning master volume knob that allows for fine-tuning of your output levels with precision. As a passive unit, it requires no external power supply, making it easy to integrate into any setup while maintaining the highest possible fidelity of the signal. This feature is especially useful in monitoring environments where simple and effective control of volume is essential, such as during recording or mixing sessions.

The SAT-2 also includes stereo input and output options via balanced XLR connectors, which ensures seamless integration with other professional audio equipment. It supports stereo audio signals and provides both balanced and unbalanced connections, making it compatible with a wide range of audio sources and monitoring systems. Whether you’re connecting the SAT-2 to powered studio monitors, active speaker systems, or other audio devices, it guarantees clean and accurate sound reproduction.

A key feature of the Radial SAT-2 is its attenuator switch, which allows you to reduce input levels when working with overly hot signals. This prevents distortion or clipping, ensuring that your audio remains clear and distortion-free even when dealing with high-output sources. Additionally, the unit features a mute button for instant silence, making it easy to quickly cut the audio without adjusting the master volume knob.

Built with Radial’s renowned rugged construction, the SAT-2 is housed in a heavy-duty steel chassis, ensuring durability and reliability for use in professional environments. Its compact design makes it ideal for desktop use or placement in any workspace where volume control is needed. Whether you're adjusting levels for mixing, mastering, or simply controlling the volume of your playback system, the SAT-2 is an invaluable tool for any audio professional.
