They work in between the Airport and the BeoLab 3s. You can always join multiple ones together to reduce the sound even further if you find one pair is not enough.</p><div style="clear:both;"></div>https://archivedforum.beoworld.org:443/forums/thread/52229.aspxFri, 05 Oct 2007 11:11:42 GMT41a2a90c-3a1e-4bd3-b144-3883695a7f38:52229rmclachlan0https://archivedforum.beoworld.org:443/forums/thread/52229.aspxhttps://archivedforum.beoworld.org:443/forums/commentrss.aspx?SectionID=13&PostID=52229I have my BL3s connected to an Apple Airport Express and am streaming music from my iMac/itunes. However the volume is incredibly loud (these babys are powerful!), I cannot figure a way to attenuate the sound output. It ssems the only way is to turn the volume right down (and I mean right down ) in iTunes but this is still a bit too loud and there is virtually no fine control. It is not satisfactory. I live in a flat and cannot afford to have the volume too loud at certain times of day i.e. when my wife and/or neighbours are in.<div><br class="khtml-block-placeholder" /></div><div>The Beolabs are set up as the manual specifies with Line selected.</div><div><br class="khtml-block-placeholder" /></div><div>Any thoughts?</div><div style="clear:both;"></div>
