How can I limit the volume on integrated amp


I'm considering putting a small system in my rental condo using a Musical Fidelity integrated amp I have.

Is there any way to limit the max volume so renters don't play it too loud and piss off the neighbors or blow my speakers out?

If there is a tape record out, this is tied directly to the other inputs. Select an input (say, CD). Take a DMM and place one probe in the left CD input and the other in the left tape out. There should be a resistance of 1k to 5k. If there is a short, then the rest won’t work.

Take a cheap pair of RCA cables and plug them into the tape record out jacks. On each of the other end RCA plugs, solder a 10K trim pot, pin 1 to the inner positive and pins 2 and 3 to the outer ground. Adjust the trim pots for any volume you want and then hide the end plugs so the tenant can’t see.

What this is effectively doing is acting like a shunting volume control.

You could just put some rca attenuators between the source and the amps input.  https://www.decibelhifi.com.au/rothwell-in-line-rca-audio-attenuators-pair/

yes I used to do this for my cd player in the days before amps had specific cd inputs.Worked ok when attached to the rca interconnect.Cd players used to overdrive earlier amps to distortion.
Just by a nice sounding Bluetooth speaker or clock radio like Sandals does and put it in each of the rooms. I use to be a property owner. The only people who care about your property is you and yours regardless of age or income. Lock the nice system away on the property for yourself for when you are using it. My uncle did this with his primary residence. He had a closet that he locked up for personal things.
