Figure 6. Potentiometer Type Single Ended Volume Control Application.
Unlike previous examples, this circuit is heavily dependent on the loading of the downstream audio
circuitry. The table of Figure 7 shows an error magnitude depending on the value of the loading
impedance.
It is obvious that higher impedance loads provide lower volume control errors. It is recommended to
use a buffer or a high input impedance amplifier at the output of the volume control. For buffers and
amplifiers having a bipolar input, resistors R3 and R5 provide a current pass for their input bias currents,
and capacitors C2 and C4 block DC current from reaching resistive elements of the MUSES chip. Resistor
values shall be selected between 100kOhm and 470kOhm for optimal performance. Capacitors' values
shall be high enough to pass low frequencies of the audio band. For JFET based buffers and amplifiers,
or when the circuit is used as a passive outboard Volume control feeding a power amplifier with a DC
insensitive input, the DC blocking networks C2R3 and C4R5 may be omitted.
Figure 8 demonstrates a balanced application of the potentiometer type volume control.
