Its compact design and clean black finish make it a stylish addition to any audio setup, while its passive nature ensures that the original sound quality remains untouched.

Does what is technically possible, with no audible issues, 10/10
Let's clear up the obvious, you can't get fully balanced xlr out of a device out of a potentiometer like this when you have RCA in - that's nothing to do with this device, it's just the way things work - If you do RCA to XLR through a pot, or any conversation you'll just double your noise and degrade your signal path.However, XLR to XLR is perfect, RCA to RCA is about as good as RCA can be, and a better pot than in most amps, XLR to RCA is equally great.Build quality is great for the money, it's better than the downgraded little bear mc2, and it just does what it can given what it is, a good pot, good build, 3 viable paths, and one you can use but will always be the worst through literally any potentiometer at any price.It's probably one of the best deals around, if you need an RCA to RCA + XLR to XLR with switch, this is to all extents audibly transparent, as long n amp at full gain, zero sound or hiss.Can't fault it, a steal.

Transparent
There is no influence on the sound, volume pot is smooth and very controllable , Perfect

does the job
Using it with JBL LSR305s to control the volume, its does what it says.

Nice if you want a quick mute button
It does 'work'. But the volume levels are not granular and consistent enough. At very low levels the left channel is still off while the right already produces sound. And from 1/4 to about 3/4 the sound level stays exactly the same. Would not recommend.

Just a volume control
Amp worked perfectly just a volume knob no power needed added no color to music has xlr and Rca connections used with Topping power amps just be aware adds no gain so volume knob will be higher than usual

Good if you need something cheap, but has noticeable treble rolloff.
This unit is built really well, looks and feels good, but there is some fairly noticeable treble rolloff and loss of clarity at anything other than 100% volume.If you need something cheap for XLR volume control this is fine. But for any sort of decent quality audio setup its probably best to get a better quality preamp.

Very good in a studio setup
Very good and no alteration to frequency response, some of the reviews made me not sure wether to purchases this, but being pasive literally no components and transistors ETC in the way, the sound should be as good as the source... So decide to take the risk due to Amazon's handy 30 day return policy, fully tested and happy!Got this for a unique set up I wanted to to, it will allow me to use some bad sounding pc speakers with my interface as well as my studio monitors, also it will allow me to use my PCs soundcard with both so I can have studio sound PC speakers doing everyday things, gaming etc, would definitely recommend!

Beware! - No refund still after a month!
I think mine must have been faulty as it distorted horribly - worse as it was turned up.I am a sound engineer so perhaps I was just expecting better quality.I returned it 30 days ago but Amazon doesn't seem to acknowledge the return status and I have not been refunded yet... Not impressed...
