Default Gain Change on Shure MX418

On to my question. The Shure MX418 spec sheet says that the output level can be
set to 0, but it is shipped as +12. In looking at the spec sheet, it appears
that the gain changes require soldering surface mount resistors:


12 dB of gain isn't a whole lot, but it's sometimes helpful
on a podium mic like this. You need to know what to do with
it, however. It sounds to me like nobody on this gig knew
what he was doing. You can't fight that.

Is there an inline XLR attenuator that passes phantom?


Nearly all of them do.
