Default Speaker level adjustment

They could be, but the CPC site says they are transformer based, so I have
assumed they use a tapped autotransformer, like a Variac.



** Do NOT under any circumstances use such devices.

They are 100%, guaranteed amplifier DESTROYERS !

Attenuators used with solid state hi-fi amplifiers must not be of the
auto-transformer type.

Seen the damage using them does, many times.

Think low frequency core saturation, very low DC resistance.

Bad news !!!
