james.sealey Posted August 1, 2014 Share Posted August 1, 2014 Hi Guys I'm having a bit of a mare replacing 2 Pan pots on a sound desk (Hill Audio Gigmix - don't ask!) Basically I *think* I need a dual 10K Logarithmic 'B' curve type pot, however I'm having difficulty finding any! Initially, I took a punt on what appeared to be a standard, 10K Log dual pot, but when panning, the drop off was way too early, resulting in a drop in level when panned centre. I contacted the supplier and he sent me an alternative, which I think is Linear, as things still aren't right. So, I'm a bit stuck, and to be frank, I'm fed up of googling potentiometers! Can anyone offer any suggestions? Here is the original pot I removed. Cheers James Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
themadhippy Posted August 1, 2014 Share Posted August 1, 2014 Could it be an anti log pot? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
alistermorton Posted August 1, 2014 Share Posted August 1, 2014 Could it be a log/antilog pot you need? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Brian Posted August 1, 2014 Share Posted August 1, 2014 If it's a pan pot then it's not a dual log pot; it's likely to be a log+anti-log pot. To check, put the pot at the halfway point and measure from one end to the wiper on both sections. The resistance on the log section will be about 10% of full scale and about 90% on the anti-log section. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mr.X Posted August 1, 2014 Share Posted August 1, 2014 Why not contact the manufacturer of the pot, see if they have a replacement or get the specs from them?http://www.omeg.co.uk/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sound Man Posted August 1, 2014 Share Posted August 1, 2014 Looking at your photograph the one should be a suitable replacement. http://www.maplin.co.uk/p/10k-andohm-miniature-log-dual-gang-potentiometer-jm83e Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
james.sealey Posted August 4, 2014 Author Share Posted August 4, 2014 Thanks Mr X We had not been able to identify the manufacturer, think we had all assumed from their interesting choice in font it was 'JMEG'... :huh: Just contacted OMEG and they are on the case for me! http://www.omeg.co.uk/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
