CT Stainless Steel Knobs
DACT is offering four different sizes of knobs that are specially designed for using with DACT audio switches, though they can of course be used with any quality equipment. All knobs are handmade, available in solid stainless steel with the raw steel look.
One important characteristic of the DACT CT knobs is that they are made of "Audio Grade" materials. In terms of components that are not used directly in the signal path, but relatively close to the audio signals, Audio Grade materials mean:
- Non-magnetic.
- No non-linear dielectric loss (like for instance that of certain plastics).
The DACT CT knobs were designed with the right "feel" so the perception of the knobs match the quality of our stepped attenuators and switches. Therefore, of course, low cost plastic knobs were out of the question from the beginning. There is no way that a lightweight plastic knob can match the delicate mechanism of DACT switches.

Which size of knob to choose depends on your preference. The smaller knobs give a more exact clicking feel especially on our attenuators, while the slightly harder feel of our input selectors may favour the larger knobs.
