Bourns® Guitar Potentiometers (Download Hi-Res Image)

RIVERSIDE, Calif., January 10, 2012 – Bourns, Inc., a leading manufacturer and supplier of electronic components, today announced that it has released a series of new product options to its industry-leading line of guitar potentiometers. Bourns has developed a specialty line of potentiometers for electric and bass guitars to upgrade these instruments for improved sound quality, reliability and longevity. The following five new model options will be showcased in Bourns’ booth #5696 at the upcoming NAMM Show, January 19-22, 2012 in Anaheim, California.

• Model PDB241-GNL No Load Guitar Potentiometer
• Model PDB241-GTR Left-Handed Guitar Potentiometer
• Model PDB181-GTR Left-Handed Mini-Guitar Potentiometer
• Model PDB181-GTR Long Bushing Mini-Guitar Potentiometer
• Model PDB183-GTR Long Bushing Mini-Guitar Potentiometer with Push-Pull Switch

The “no load” guitar potentiometer is designed with a long-wearing insulator and a positive action detent for improved reliability. The left-handed potentiometers have special reverse audio tapers and a logarithmic curve specifically designed for excellent volume response at all positions along the potentiometer. The long bushing potentiometers are excellent for use in solid body guitars and work in all types of electric or bass guitars, with or without a push-pull switch.

“Bourns continues to introduce new product options that help our customers get the highest quality out of their guitars and associated professional audio equipment,” said Chuck Manzano, product manager at Bourns, Inc. “We have an ongoing commitment to meet market needs.  After listening to our customers, these new options for electric and bass guitars that are being released at NAMM are in direct response to customer requests for higher quality alternatives to some commonly used products.”

As a pricing reference, Model PDB241-GNL is priced at .25, Model PDB241-GTR is priced at .75, Models PDB181-GTR (left handed and long bushing) are priced at .95 and .25 respectively and Model PDB183-GTR is priced at .85. All prices are based on quantities of 1,000. All models are available through Bourns authorized distributors and Pro Audio resellers.

Trimming Potentiometers are three-terminal resistors that are used to measure or divide voltages, and to protect or control circuits. Potentiometers are variable resistors that are adjusted with a knob or dial.Trimming Potentiometers carry specifications for potentiometer category and actuator configuration. Industrial-grade potentiometers are protected by an enclosure, typically one that is rated by the National Electrical Manufacturers Association (NEMA).  In terms of actuator configuration, choices include single-turn, multi-turn, and slide. With single-turn devices, the shaft rotation is limited to less than or equal to 360 degrees. By contrast, multi-turn Trimming Potentiometers can be rotated multiple times, with as many as 15 or 20 turns from stop to stop. Slide-actuated products require the user to move a handle instead of rotating a knob.Trimming Potentiometers differ in terms of construction, mounting or packaging, performance specifications and features.
