Hmm. I dont know how to make more clear. new scenario.
I have an attenuation circuit, and the parallel resistor is 19.4, and the series resistor is 2.3.
It is apparent that in order to achieve a different db attenuation, you would change the above values according to some formula.
Now, according to this chart, post #4,
http://www.audioheritage.org/vbullet...ad-circuit-L96
the above resistors should give -3.00 db.
Now let's go back to my LPAD. When I measure it, when I hit the parallel value of ~19, the series value is ~4.5. I would like to use this setting when I replace the LPAD (soundwise).
However, you can see how the 4.5 value seems to be very high compared to the chart. (maybe the lpad is faulty from partsexpress, although all 4 of them measure this way)
So you can see why I am confused. If I replace the LPAD, should I use the above chart and use 2.3 for the series resistor, or should I go by what the LPAD tells me and use 4.5 for the series resistor?
That's why I'm asking if +/- 2 ohms on the series side is going to be an issue somewhere.
