DESCRIPTION
The volume controller is a basic function in an audio system, in a modern multi-channel system always needs a main volume that can adjust volume of all channels in synchronously. In traditional multi-channel design mostly utilizing a multi-gang potentiometer, but it’s so expensive and not easy to achieved well volume attenuation matching between each channel.
Now a better solution is uses the PT2325 to replace the multi-gang potentiometer. The PT2325 is designed for multi-channel audio purpose, the chip has 6 groups built-in 48 steps volume attenuator for each channel and running in synchronous, it only needs an external DC voltage to setting volume attenuation. In general application, a cheap single-gang potentiometer is work well to control whole channel’s volume.
