headphone attenuators?

Gary Smith-2
I'm guessing the impedance is wrong between my Bose QC-15 and the K3,
I can't use more than 15 degrees of AF rotation or it blasts my ears
unsafely. Any suggestion of a nice plug in stereo attenuator? I use a
stereo adapter to run from the Bose stereo mini plug into the K#'s
1/4" stereo plug.

Thanks,

Gary

Thanks for the reminder! The in-line resistor in the headset was the
answer!

& @ W0EB, the suggestion about the Radio Shack in-line volume
extension was a great idea too.
