4 channel volume control

Wynand · 5th August 2005, 08:16 AM

Is there any simple way to control more than 2 channels' volume wih one "control" i.e. do you get 4 gang pots or even 6 gang pots or would you have to go digital?

you could use a stepped attenuator with as many gangs as you need, or perhaps tie two dual gang pots together with some sort of pulley mechanism perhaps.

alternatively u could use PGA4311 or tie two PGA231x together, to control 4 channel volume.

Are all 4 channels difrent sound levels or difrent frequancy's ? WHy not use 2 channels and a "Y" adapter ?
