Re: Controlling pots digitally

Hi,

We have a pair of speakers which we need to control from a pc. The
functionality we wish to control is currently controlable via a set of
knobs on the speakers. Each knob controls a pot.

From a non invasive perspective, could I turn the pot using a motor or
some similar mechanism? Could you perhaps direct me toward more info
on this subject.

From an invasive perspective, would replacing the pot with a digital
equivalent be a workable option? Might it introduce noise into the
circuit?

What ever the solution we choose, it should not introduce noise into
the cicuit. I would also be desirable also if the mechanism itself was
noise free since we work in a music environment.

Thanks for your help,

Barry
