### Potentiometers
|
||||||
After some long research to find single and dual channel, logarithmic scale potentiometers with the same dimensions, there are only a few options left:
|
We need some single and dual channel logarithmic scale potentiometers, which are matching in size, for:
|
||||||
1. Alps Alpine Series RK09K/D, 10 kOhm (log), 15 mm length, vertical mount: RK09K1130AJ3 (single) and RK09K12C0A19 (dual)
|
- top plate interface (all vertical style, threaded collar would be nice):
|
||||||
6 mm D-style (4.5 mm) shaft, 6 mm flattened + 2.2 mm (incl. 0.8 mm collar) = 8.2 mm from top
|
* 1 single channel for the input gain (resistance doesn't matter)
|
||||||
Notes: Knob might touch surface, assuming 2 mm front plate thickness
|
* 2 single and 1 stereo channel for the headphone mix (ideally 50K, b/c 3 will be in parallel)
|
||||||
2. Alps Alpine Series RK09K/D, 10 kOhm (log), 30 mm length, vertical mount: RK09D117000C (single) and RK09K12C0A8K (dual)
|
- front plate next to the headset jacks (horizontal style, threaded collar not needed):
|
||||||
6 mm D-style (4.5 mm) shaft, 12 mm flattened + 11.2 mm (incl. 5.0 mm collar) = 23.2 mm from top
|
* 1 single channel for the headphone volume (ideally 50K, b/c that's already tested)
|
||||||
Notes: Quite long shaft, matching knobs difficult to find
|
|
||||||
3. **Alps Alpine Series RK097**, 10 kOhm (log), 15 mm length, horizontal mount: RK097111080J (single) and RK09712200MC (dual)
|
|
||||||
6 mm D-style (4.5 mm) shaft, 7 mm flattened + 8 mm (incl. 5 mm threaded collar) = 15 mm from top
|
|
||||||
Notes: More expensive than RK09K; Thread should fix 2 mm front plate well
|
|
||||||
4. Alps Alpine Series RK097, 10 kOhm (log), 20 mm length, horizontal mount: RK097111080R (single) and RK09712200HA (dual)
|
|
||||||
6 mm D-style (4.5 mm) shaft, 12 mm flattened + 8 mm (incl. 7 mm threaded collar) = 20 mm from top
|
|
||||||
Notes: Quite long shaft, matching knobs difficult to find
|

Possible knobs may be:
|
Possible knobs may be:
|
||||||
- Rean F311/ F313 series (11/ 13 mm diameter): 9 mm hole depth (no skirt/ flush with end of flattened axis section)
|
- (A) Re'an F311/ F313 series (11/ 13 mm diameter) -- 0.40 €/ 0.55 €:
|
||||||
Notes: Will fit option 1 (and 2, if potentiometer placed accordingly)
|
Boring: 9.0 mm D-style hole + 0.0 mm nut cover section = 9.0 mm
|
||||||
- Rean P670 series (12 mm diameter/ 16 mm at bottom): 7.5 mm hole depth + 4.5 mm skirt = 12 mm
|
- (B) Re'an P670 series (12 mm diameter/ 16 mm at bottom) (alt. Davies Molding 1101) -- 0.78 €:
|
||||||
Notes: Should fit option 3
|
Boring: 7.5 mm D-style hole + 4.5 mm nut cover section = 12.0 mm
|
||||||
- Cliff K87MAR series/ RS Pro 777-73xx: 7.5 mm hole depth + 4.5 mm skirt = 12 mm, inner size of skirt 12 mm (measured)
|
Nut cover: 12.9 mm diameter (M7 nut is 12.5 mm corner to corner)
|
||||||
Notes: D-style boring has wrong size (5 mm instead of 4.5 mm flatted)
|
- (C) Re'an P300 series (11 mm diameter/ 15 mm at bottom):
|
||||||
- Rean P300 series (11 mm diameter/ 15 mm at bottom): 9 mm hole depth + 3 mm skirt
|
Boring: 9.0 mm D-style hole + 3.0 mm nut cover section = 12.0 mm
|
||||||
Notes: Might also fit option 3
|
Nut cover: ? mm diameter (M7 nut is 12.5 mm corner to corner)
|
||||||
|
- ~~(D) Cliff K87MAR series/ RS Pro 777-73xx: 7.5 mm hole depth + 4.5 mm skirt = 12 mm, inner size of skirt 12 mm (measured)~~
|
||||||
|
~~Notes: D-style boring has wrong size (5 mm instead of 4.5 mm flatted)~~

Potentiometers from Alps Alpine seem to have a decent quality in a small package size and quite affordable price.
