About the DS1404

The DS1404 is a four channel, PC  programmable, line-level attenuator used primarily to control soundmasking 
levels  based  on  date  and  time-of-day.  The  DS1404  can  also  be  used  to  provide  attenuation  schedules  for 
background music or paging signals.   Highly configurable custom schedules can be created and downloaded to 
the DS1404 using the provided Windows based software.  

The front of the unit provides buttons used for minor changes, such as adjusting the time of day. The front panel 
buttons are also used to toggle the display between channels 1-2 and 3-4.  The rear panel provides line level input 
and output connections via industry standard Phoenix™ connectors, a com port for PC connections and bypass 
controls.
