Antilog

Hi Guys..

Can anyone tell me the difference when buying Log or Antilog pots? I can´t find antilog pots to buy...

Look at this comparison of common pot tapers, courtesy of Bourns:

1. Linear taper
2. Audio (log) taper
3. Reverse-audio (antilog) taper
4. "S" taper

In a pinch, you can use a regular log-taper pot in place of an antilog pot as long as you don't mind operating the control "backwards."

What value of antilog pot do you need, for what application? Maybe we can suggest a source.
