Potentiometer and encoder for professional audio technology

TT Electronics, for many years a manufacturer of components used in the design and assembly of professional audio equipment, is expanding its professional audio portfolio with ten new product families. The portfolio expansion includes the introduction of five rotary potentiometer families, four sliding potentiometer families and an encoder series. These new parts are ideal for a wide range of professional audio applications including electric guitars, amplifiers, mixing consoles, drum machines, synthesizers, DJ equipment, recording studio controls and audio/visual equipment.

The new rotary potentiometer families (P161, P162, P163, P164, P165) are IP 40 rated and offer a wide range of resistance options, from 1KΩ to 1MΩ. These new products feature metal shaft and bushing as well as options for vertical or horizontal PCB mounting.

The new slide potentiometer families (PSS1, PSS2, PSL2, and LM1001) offer slide travel options ranging from 20mm to 100mm, and a resistance range from 1KΩ to 1MΩ. The new LM1001 marks TT’s first motorized slide potentiometer, useful when the ability to jump to preset positions or physical feedback from virtual controllers is desired.

The EN09 encoder series is highly reliable with 10 pulses per rotation and a push-on switch option (non-latching). This series is also IP 40 rated.

"The best music requires the best controls. TT Electronics delivers tight components without any noisy output or gritty feel," says Barry Peters, VP Product Management and Engineering, TT Electronics. "We are committed to meeting artists’ needs by offering various value-add options and customizations to our standard portfolio, including tighter tolerances, custom feel, and custom output."
