The Series RK168... MG so much as the Series RK271... MC belongs to the
Top Motor driven Potentiometer from ALPS Alpine
This Series was developed to be used in Hifi/HighEnd Preamplifiers on which a little room is available but to be attached importance to the maximum quality.

By the very compact 8 pin inline construction, with which two resistance values are mounted at a level, the potentiometer (with motor!!) reaches only 43-mm deep.

You can carry out the adjustment by hand as well as electrically with the motor.

Naturally also here this tough, audiophile rotary feeling (" like a spoon in the honey glass ")

Soundwise all expectations are fully fulfilled with this potentiometer
