Audio Amplifier Single Sealed Potentiometer

[EEVaditya]

Hello,

I am looking for Audio Amplifier Single Sealed Potentiometer (RV097NS) 5 PIN B100K & B10K
(See attached Image for your reference)

But Tolerance is an issue for me. I want 1% tolerance.

I saw on some online portals but they haven't mentioned the Tolerance as well as Make (Manufacturer)
 So, do the Potentiometers with above specifications come with 1% tolerance, if not what is the minimum tolerance for the same?

Kindly guide.

I can't remember seeing a pot with 1%, 10% is probably as good as you'll get. Applications for pots are normally not critical with respect to absolute value, things like tracking and linearity are more important.

A potentiometer usually has a tolerance of 20% because its tolerance does not affect its output.
Your dual pot is an extremely cheeeep Chinese no-name-brand one sold on ebay and Ali so its tolerance might be worse than 20%.

Your pot is called a volume control but that is wrong because it is a linear pot. A volume control is supposed to be a logarithmic pot to match the logarithmic sensitivity to loudness of our hearing.

Change the design so absolute tolerace is not an issue!

Linearity is generally more important than absolute tolerance.

Is it a volume control? If so, don't you want logarithmic, rather than linear?

 I too question your need of 1% for audio applications. Perhaps if you could explain your requirement(s) it might help us understand and come up with useful alternatives?

 If for a stereo application a balance control is usually specified, and as the human ear can only differentiate around +/- 1 db levels it kind of explain why such tight tolerance pots even if available are not very common in typical audio applications. Also as others have said linear pots suck when logarithmic taper is called for.
