Mini-V (standard) With 0.1% Precision Resistors Pre-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, 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 even the typical Mini-V Custom 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)
(Your) Resistors Installed
Build your own custom 
stepped attenuators with 
Goldpoint Mini-V Custom
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.

and Prices:
MVC1 (mono) $58
MVC2 (stereo) $108
MVC4 (quad) $168
MVC6 (6-channel) $228
Stereo unit with 1% Vishay-Dale
RN60 resistors installed.
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. You are welcome to use our thru-hole resistor lists - click here> Common Thru-Hole Resistor Lists.
However, if you can, we recommend that you use our standard Mini-V stepped attenuators because:
-----1)  They are pre-built and use (sonically superior) 0.1% 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.

Panel Bearings:
1/4" aluminum rod is commonly available from many hardware stores. Here's one on-line source:  speedymetals.com  &  1/4" extruded aluminum rod
You will want to purchase a "panel bearing", (or "panel bushing") for use where your new 1/4" extended shaft goes through your front panel.
