ProCo Sound InLine Pad | 10dB

The ProCo Sound InLine Pad series is purpose-built for engineers who need to tame hot microphone signals before they reach a preamp or console input. Whether you're close-miking a loud guitar cabinet, working with a high-output dynamic on a drum kit, or managing gain structure on a broadcast console, dropping signal level at the source is often cleaner and faster than riding input trim alone. The inline XLR configuration means there's nothing to mount, rack, or power — it inserts directly between the mic and the cable run.

Live sound engineers and studio session techs routinely reach for inline pads when dealing with preamps that lack sufficient pad headroom, or when working with vintage consoles and outboard that can't handle modern high-SPL sources cleanly. The XLR female-to-male pass-through keeps the signal path simple and the adapter seated securely at the mic end or panel connector. With three attenuation levels available across the family, teams can stock the right value for any gain-staging scenario without compromising signal integrity.
