Using it with a Captor too...very happy with it.
The typical type of these are not suitable for a normal speaker connection because they won't handle the full current and are not reliable - and if they fail, the amp is then left with no load.
But between the attenuator and the speaker, this isn't an issue because the amp sees the attenuator as the load, as long as the atttenuator is engaged - if the connection between the attenuator and the speaker fails all that happens is that it goes silent.
There is only one type I would trust for a normal speaker connection, which is the Neutrik locking one:

So if you haven't got one already - and the price doesn't scare you! - I would get one of those anyway since you don't need to worry about bypassing the attenuator.

This is the one I have.

But if you make sure you never set the attenuator to bypass it will be fine.

i will get the Neutrik.
What impedance will I set the Captor to considering the Amp as it stands is set at 16ohms.
If possible you should always match the attenuator to the amp.

I know I need to use a speaker cable from the amp to the Captor but do I need a speaker cable to connect the Captor back to the speakers in the amp.

Glad you are there.
