What does one do for additional attenuation in the MOTM world? Most
modules seem to have at least one input with no control and none (I
think) have output controls. I prefer the convention with no output
level controls and all input level controls (except v/8va inputs). I
understand that this is a trade off between circuit functionality,
panel real estate and module conventions - but, if this is truly a
"modular" system - where is the attenuator module? There needs to be
an alternative to burning a mixer (or half a mixer) to control an
input. Also, is there a down side to passive attenuation? (no pun
intended)

Tomorrow's question: where's the damn inverter? ;-)
