Illuminated Rotary encoders from knitter-switch offer new options for Pro-Audio and Industrial Control

knitter-switch MERP12 rotary encoders have been designed to replace traditional rotary potentiometers in a wide range of applications and have the added benefit of being illuminated. The new MERP12 range will interest designers currently working on broadcast and professional audio equipment in addition to next generation building automation systems and test and measurement instruments. Rotary encoders offer significant operational benefits when operating “soft” menus.

MERP 12 encoders feature an LED illuminated actuator which can be single or multi-coloured and can be specified with or without a pushbutton action.

Terry Moss, General Sales manager for knitter-switch UK comments, “Our new illuminated rotary encoders are particularly suited to broadcast and professional audio applications where ambient lighting may be low and different coloured illumination can add to ease of use and reduce costly operational errors. This can also be a great benefit in industrial applications. Rotary encoders are rapidly replacing conventional analogue potentiometers as demand increases for additional functionality in digital control of signals and menus.”
