Default Re: Hedghog standards converter

Nick,

It is very well possible to mount a volume control pot directly onto the pcb or at an angle to the pcb.
Just see what you have lying around in your component boxes.
Any value between 20k and 100k would do. When you use 20k, you could reduce the input resistors to 2k2, and if you use 100k, you could put a resistor of 100k parallel to the pot, to reduce noise (if required).
Frank can advise better of course.

I tried to buy miniature pots, but did not manage to find small enough ones, so this is just what I had in my boxes.
A (vertical) preset pot with a kind of thin shaft would do nicely as well.
I mounted the pot at an angle to the pcb, so that the shaft lines up with the audio RCA connectors, but that is just for esthetics.
