Balance Pots

Can I buy a 1meg balance pot, or are they just in the 50-100K range?
I have never seen any balance pots at the electronic stores that i go to.
who sells them?

Anyway,I want to control two circuits with a balance pot of 1 meg.
eg, when turned left if effects the resistance of circuit A, and when turned right, it will effect the resistance of circuit B.
Is there such a product :?:

what about 1meg range for left circuit, and 50K for right circuit?
Can a balance pot be made from a dual pot. (not for audio)?

I am also after a single anti-log pot (250k) are they hard to find too.


thanks

A balance pot is usually just a single linear control, although twin, log/anti-log pots are sometimes used.

You really need to give more details, a balance pot is usually for audio systems (left/right), but you specifically said it wasn't.

What I ment was, I am really after a dual pot that looks like a ballance pot.

It must have 2 seperate isolatated pots in it (pot 1 & 2).
It must only have 1 shaft and 1 knob.

It must function similar to an audio ballance pot eg:
when turned left it effects resistence to pot 1,
when turned right it effects resistance to pot 2.

I've just re-checked my circuit and looks like a 50K ballance pot will do.
AS these pots are mainly used for audio and not electronics , who would stock suck an item?
Anyone seen a slider type ballance pot?

yes

You just need a stereo pot, for audio balance use it should be log/anti-log (which are pretty rare) so a linear one should be easier to get. You can commonly get stereo sliders as well (probably more common than mono ones).

Cool, A stereo slider sounds good.
Problem is I nead 20 stereo ones for the 1 project,
and 4 mono ones.
Could be expensive for 24.

What's the project?, I built an audio mixer for a band years ago, as we could only get stereo sliders I strapped them in parallel (rather than using just one half).
