Product details

Made possible by exploring innovative molded plywood techniques, Iskos-Berlin’s Soft Edge Chair blends strong curves with extreme lightness to create a three-dimensionality not usually possible with 2-D plywood.

Description

The 10k Ohm Stereo Rotary Potentiometer is a kind of resistor that can change its value. It is used to reduce the strength of two signals at the time. It has two parts that do not touch each other. Each part has 10k resistance. They are both controlled by one shaft. This helps make sure that the left and right parts of the sound are balanced and match each other.

It comes in a shape that can be placed through a hole in a board. It has threads for the panel. This type of potentiometer is used in different places. It is used in preamplifiers. It is used in headphone amplifiers. It is used in DIY synth controllers. It is used in equipment, for analog work.

Key Features and Benefits:

Dual-Gang Architecture: Has two 10k elements on one shaft that work together making sure that the sound levels are the same on both the left and the right sides.
Optimized for Audio and Control: Works well with the input settings of modern audio amplifiers, Class-D boards and devices that change analog sound to digital.
Panel-Mount Hardware Included: Comes with a threaded collar, a nut and a washer so it can be fixed securely into a panel.
Smooth Mechanical Travel: Has a 300-degree rotation that feels clean and has a touch makes very little noise and keeps the connection strong.
Versatile Termination: Has options, for solder-lug or PCB-pin connections so it can be added easily into custom circuits, small boards or mass-produced circuit boards.
