Abstract
An attenuated cable is formed with an in-line attenuator conducted between two cable lengths wherein the cable lengths are rigidly joined together by a rigid hollow housing which encloses the attenuator therein. The attenuator circuit is housed within the housing, and is electrically connected to the cable lengths without the use of mechanical connections therebetween. The free ends of the cable lengths farthest from the housing are provided with standard connectors for connecting the cable to additional electrical devices such as microphones, mixers or amplifiers. Since the housing and attenuator circuit are relatively small and light relative to the larger cable lengths, the attenuated cable has substantially the same weight and flexibility as a continuous length of cable.
