I'm looking for a low cost way to slightly attenuate
a -10db stereo
RCA output from an FM tuner.


This is a small cable studio's playout system. There is no
mixer:
Several devices (4 streams from a video server, several
tape and DVD
decks) feed into a routing switcher, then a
compressor/limiter, then
into modulators and out into the cable system. It is
important to have
all devices at the same approximate level; While they are
all -10db,
the only significant difference is the tuner. It is
noticeably louder
than all the other sources. The tuner is a Rolls RS80, and
it has no
adjustment for output level (except the front-panel
headphone jack,
which I am currently using. The protruding cable looks bad,
and I want
to use the rear stereo RCA jacks.


I could use a cheap Behringer mini-mixer, but I'd rather
find one of
those little "audio solutions" boxes that will give me
control of the
level, definitely down, but perhaps up also. Any ideas?


Solder two resistors inside the plug?

I just don't know exactly how much attenuation I need, or how
that
translates to resistance values. An adjustable unit would let
me...well, adjust.
