Fostex’s model PC-1e is a simple passive volume controller, which aids easy control of desktop PC speaker systems at the same time as reducing distortion introduced through digital volume control.Constructed from a durable metal chassis, available in black or white, the PC-1e comes complete with a 3.5mm – 3.5mm stereo mini jack cable for connection to the audio card output found on PCs. The second cable, RCA – RCA stereo, takes the output of the PC-1e to feed active speakers or amplifiers. Where desktop monitors have only a 3.5mm stereo input, 3rd party RCA – 3.5mm cables can be usedNot only does the PC-1e allow for convenient volume control but it offers a far superior method to control volume levels. Once connected, the PC digital volume can be set to maximum, whilst the PC-1e is used to passively attenuate this full level signal. Controlling volume directly from the PC, in software, ultimately introduces higher levels of distortion, especially if the volume control on the active speaker is set higher to compensate for lower PC settings. Therefore, users are advised to set the PC output volume to full and the speaker volume to around the 3pm point (or ¾ of the maximum) and then use only the Fostex PC-1e to adjust levels.SpecificationInput Connector: 3.5mm stereo mini jackOutputAnalogue Connector: Stereo RCAGeneral Dimensions: 38 (H) x 52 (W) x 60 (D) mm Weight: approx. 120g Supplied accessories: 1 x 3.5mm – 3.5mm stereo mini jack cable (80cm), 1x RCA – RCA stereo cable (1m), manual
