Product Description


The 500K Ohm Logarithmic Potentiometer is an essential component for guitar enthusiasts and audio professionals seeking precise and smooth control over their sound. With its logarithmic (audio) taper, this potentiometer ensures natural and linear adjustments, making it perfect for volume and tone controls in electric guitars, amplifiers, mixers, and other audio equipment.

Crafted with high-quality carbon film, this potentiometer delivers reliable performance and durability. Its 1/4 watt power rating is ideal for various electronic circuits, ensuring consistent operation. The solder terminals provide secure and easy connections, while the compact design allows for seamless integration into a wide range of devices and DIY projects.

Difference Between Logarithmic and Linear Potentiometers

Logarithmic potentiometers, like this one, are tailored for audio applications due to their logarithmic response, which aligns with human hearing perception. This results in smoother and more intuitive control over audio signals. In contrast, linear potentiometers have a linear response, providing equal resistance changes with equal turns, making them more suitable for applications requiring consistent and proportional adjustments, such as dimmer switches or motor speed controls.
