What are AV Carts?

A VA cart, short for Volume Attenuator Cart, is a device designed to improve the overall sound quality of headphones and earbuds. It helps to balance the volume of each audio channel, reducing distortion and allowing for more precise control over the audio signal.

Benefits of Using AV Carts

Using an AV cart can have several benefits, including improved sound quality, reduced distortion, and increased comfort. It also helps to prevent damage to headphones and earbuds by reducing the risk of over-boosting or under-boosting the audio signal.

How AV Carts Work

A VA cart typically consists of a series of preamp stages that amplify and attenuate the audio signal. The preamps are usually arranged in a linear fashion, with each stage handling one channel (such as the left or right audio channel). This allows for precise control over the volume of each channel, reducing distortion and improving sound quality.
