Useage model of variable resistor in audio line?

[N601RT]

Hi,

Regarding the variable resistor in the audio output:

Should the variable resistor be mounted in the panel so the audio volume is easily adjustable from flight to flight? If yes, would an audio taper be a better choice for the variable resistor instead of the variable resistor with the linear taper that has been recommended?

OR

Is the intent of the variable resistor in the audio line to "set and forget" the volume, in which case the variable resistor could be smaller, adjusted to an appropriate level, and then hidden behind the panel?

Regards,

Roy

Totally up to you, but most people set-n-forget. The point is to adjust the alarm so that it matches other stuff in the plane and your master volume adjusts it.
