TB-3 tone controls are fabulous!
I'm correcting the overall rising speaker response of small midbass driver. I'll try it with a pass full range eq. This driver still need cone break up attenuated!

My plan is to install it in an integrated amp along with Apex AX11 mini

Hi all,
referring to the REV3 scheme of #14,268 - I wanted to know about the 3 potentiometers (bass-mid-treble)
are they lin or log?

many thanks,
Marco.
I'm using linear.

This one fits. I would like to find other options for 10k linear that will fit the pcb

edit - BTW, the Bourns pot has a center detent. The response is basically flat at the detent. From my acoustic measurements it looks like
an approximate 6db cut and boost

Apex BJT STEREO PRE-AMP SB 3.1



Note: is not tested yet
Hi all,
In this preamp Apex SB 3.1 do the transistors have to be paired for a best result?
I think XRK made it and was satisfied.
