When should you use a log potentiometer rather than linear?
So what is a log (Audio / A-taper) potentiometer?
What it does:
Resistance changes slowly at first, then faster near the end of rotation. This matches how human hearing works (we perceive loudness logarithmically).
Typical uses:
Volume controls and gain controls (amps, mixers, radios)
How it feels:
Turning from 0 → halfway = small change
Halfway → full = big jump
Rule of thumb:
If it’s about sound level, you almost always want log.
