24 stepped volume control schema?

I bought this one on ebay couple of years back:
4P 24 Step Dale Attenuator Volume Pot Stereo 100K Y | eBay

Now I don´t know how to connect it,any one have a clue?

Do you have an ohm meter?

 

[Ryssen]

Yes I have,but there are 4 or 5 points where it is possible to connect it..

It should have come with a connection diagram, but looking at the photo there are some tabs on each channel. Hopefully only 3. Can you post a picture from the top?

It should be very like this:

The ohm meter can be a critical tool for figuring out how to hook it up.

(1) An attenuator like this usually has 3 connections - input, output, and common ground.

(2) The resistance from input to common ground should be constant and equal to the rated impedance of the attenuator. So, if this is a 100k atttenuator, the resistance from input to common ground should be 100k.

(3) The resistance from output to common ground should vary with the setting of the switch.

Your challenge: use your ohm meter to find the three terminals that have the desired properties.

I tried googling based on the string "24 step attenuator" and found many references. You might want to study up on the topic.

Yes I`ve done a google but they all look different.
Heres a pic from above the red dots indicate possible soldering points (one channel):

I guess I´ll have to messaure more,I think I can be pretty sure of that the black wire is ground.

I found the answer..thanks for the advises.
