Does the Attenuator and Load Box of my Captor / Captor X Need a Power Supply?

Does the Attenuator and Load Box of my Captor / Captor X Need a Power Supply?

The Torpedo Captor / Captor X is a reactive load box with a built-in attenuator. To work, the load box and the attenuator do not need power. To keep the unit at the right temperature, there is a fan inside the Captor / Captor X, powered by the incoming amp signal.

Please note, the LINE (dry) output of the Captor does not require power to send signal to a compatible terminus. On the other hand, the Captor X’s outputs (headphones and DI XLR) require power to function.
