Q & A
L-Pad, 15 Watt RMS, 30 Watt Peak, 8 Ohm, # A-542
Size: 1.625" round x 2.25" total length
Shaft: 1" long x .375" diameter
8 Ohms
Includes mounting nut, washer, knob and plate
Replaces many brands, including Acoustic Research, JBL, and many more
Perfect for speaker repair, replacement or custom designs
L-Pad controls the volume of each individual driver in a speaker system with a constant 8 Ohm impedance at the crossover.
Full volume has no attenuation and minimum volume is as much as -40db.
Midrange and tweeter drivers typically "see" only about 10% to 15% of total system power, therefore you can safely use a lower L-Pad power rating with most systems.

Product was just as described EXCEPT the wiring diagram is woefully inadequate! My speakers (vintageAR-5's) had not 3 wires but about a dozen to hook up. Other than that I highly recommend Simply Speakers for all speaker needs.

JBL Jubel reworked
The old Lpads were worn out and very scratchy; Replaced both pads with these and the speakers sound fantastic. Very happy. Thank you.

Replacement
Item appears to work well as a stock replacement for my 1979 Optimus T200's. I haven't used them at full power yet, but at a few watts work great.

Simply Speakers is the bomb
Zero need to shop on eBay, for vintage JBL L-pads. To complete your speaker project (these L-pads used with ESS AMT's). Unmatched customer service. In this insane modern world. You can keep sane spinning vinyl. And keep your rig running with Simply Speakers. My Highest Recommendation.
