TT Electronics has added ten new product families to its professional audio portfolio. The portfolio extension incorporates the introduction of four slide potentiometers families, five rotary potentiometer families, and one encoder series. These new products are excellent for a mixture of applications seen in the professional audio industry, which includes electric guitars, amplifiers, drum machines, mixers, synthesisers, DJ equipment, recording studio controls, and audio/visual equipment.

These new rotary potentiometer families include the P161, P162, P163, P164, P165 are IP 40 rated and provide a broad range of resistance options, from 1KOhm to 1MOhm. These new products offer metal shaft and bushing as well as options for vertical or horizontal PCB mounting.

The new slide potentiometer families which includes the PSS1, PSS2, PSL2, and LM1001, provide slide travel options ranging from 20mm to 100mm, and a resistance range from 1KOhm to 1MOhm. The new LM1001 marks the company’s first motorised slide potentiometer, valuable when the capacity to jump to preset positions or physical feedback from virtual controllers is wanted.

“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 customisations to our standard portfolio, including tighter tolerances, custom feel, and custom output.”
