Circular attenuators, also known as round duct silencers or sound attenuators, are critical components in HVAC (Heating, Ventilation, and Air Conditioning) systems designed to reduce noise levels and maintain system efficiency. These devices are placed within the ductwork to absorb or deflect sound. Typical values of fixed attenuators (sometimes are 3 dB, 6 dB, 10 dB, 20 dB and 30 dB. For example, a 6 dB pad will attenuate as signal by 6 dB—the output power will be one forth of the input power. Its core function is to decrease signal amplitude to a desired level, enabling precise control of signal strength and preventing overload within. Isolator, Circulator.
