Using different pot resistance for cue knob
« on: August 05, 2024, 01:09:38 am »
Hi all!
I’ve got an Ecler Dj Mixer that I’m in the process of servicing. Both the volume knob and the cue/pfl (the one to blend between the cue track and master track in your headphones) both need replacing.
The volume pot is fine, I have the correct replacement, however it turns out that the cue/pfl used is a 5kbx2cc pot, however I only have a 50kbx2cc (which is the same pot used for the EQs), and funnily enough, the line of mixers after this one use 50kbx2cc for the cue.

Wondering whether the 50kb would still work?

For adjustable resistor you have 1/10 of mechanical scale.

For voltage divider you have 1/10 of current.
Both ends can be fine, but center can be problematic.
So a strong maybe.
