Mini-V (standard) Mini-V (standad) controls come with 0.1% precision resistors already installed.
Part Number: MV-(# of channels)-(value) example: MV-2-50K = Mini-V, Stereo, 50K 
Stock Values:
Configurations:
Stock Resistor Type:		 5K, 10K, 20K, 25K, 50K,100K, and 250K
Mono, Stereo, Quad, 6-Channel
Precision 0.1% tolerance, 25ppm or 50ppm, 0805 size, low noise, THIN film!
Mono: $79
Stereo: $149
Quad: $249
6 Channel: $349
The surface mounted resistors used on the standard Goldpoint Mini-Vs are 0.1% Nichrome THIN film with a thermal noise specification (TCR) of 25 or 50 PPM. They provide better precision and much better sonic qualities than other brands (such as "Brand D") or the typical Mini-V Custom switches with Vishay, IRC, or even Caddock resistors installed. A truly excellent value - and we charge less for them!

Mini-V Custom
Blank Switch (no resistors)
(You Install The Resistors)
Build your own custom 
stepped attenuators with 
Goldpoint Mini-V Custom
(MVC) switches - it's easy!
23 resistors are installed per channel, each with one lead bent over. Use any brand of 1/4 watt or 1/2 watt resistors.

taper resistor lists.
Part Numbers and Prices:
Note: Mini-V Custom 
switches are blank. Unlike Mini-V (standard) controls, these DO NOT come 
with resistors installed.
MVC1 (mono) $58
MVC2 (stereo) $108
MVC4 (quad) $168
MVC6 (6-channel) $228
(above: Example of a typical 
stereo Mini-V Custom control 
with 1% Vishay-Dale RN60 
resistors installed by YOU.)
Note: If you need a custom value or custom taper you can purchase our blank Mini-V Custom switches, obtain your own resistors, and install them. It's easy to do. In some cases, we can help you figure out the resistor values you may need. This can be the least expensive way to get a high quality stepped attenuator.
Make any value or any audio, log, or linear taper stepped attenuator you want to anytime you want to. 
Make up your own resistor list or use one of our pre-determined audio taper lists. (Click here: resistor lists) 
Alternatively, make a linear taper control by dividing the total resistance you want by 23. 
Then choose the closest value off-the-shelf resistor you can find and solder one in each position. 
Example: 50K divided by 23 = 2.15K (or 2.21K)   [2.15K x 23 = 49.45K]  [2.21K x 23 = 50.83K]
However, for audio taper controls, we recommend that you use our standard Mini-V stepped attenuators:
-----1)  They are pre-built and use (sonically superior) 0.1%, low-noise, precision resistors.
-----2)  All the work is already done for you - no ordering parts or extra soldering, etc.
-----3)  They are a great value.

Knobs for 6mm Shafts          Custom Machined (solid) Aluminum Knobs
These knobs are for 6mm shafts (0.237"), as found on Goldpoint stepped attenuators and selector switches.
They can be "opened up" to fit 1/4" shafts (0.250") fairly easily by using a 1/4" drill bit.
