attenuators
Things that weaken
Attenuators are devices that reduce the strength or intensity of a signal, force, or effect.
In electronics, an attenuator lowers signal amplitude without distorting waveform: The guitar's attenuator lets you get tube amp tone at bedroom volumes.
In physics and engineering, attenuators reduce sound, light, or radiation.
The term extends to anything that dampens or diminishes: Natural buffers act as attenuators of flood impact.
