Pab Boothroyd was touring last year with a Midas Pro40.

Hmm... I'm still working on the driving license, but I could see myself in
that role. Too bad you live on the wrong continent. :-)

"Sound intensity tends to fall off with the square root of the distance
from the sourcE"

arnii's exact words when talking about SPL and the inverse square law

Ok:

"I guess you aren't aware of the fact that there have been consoles with
linear faders based on rotary resistive encoders, AKA regular
potentiometers."

I would like know what such a beast is, please.

Remember when radios had dial cords for their tuning capacitors? The idea
was to have a linear dial using a tuning cap that had a rotating shaft.

This approach has been used to make a linear faders for low end consoles out
of regular rotary potentiometers in the 1970s, if memroy serves. The idea of
moving the contact of a fader with a cord connected to the knob was trotted
out again to make motorized faders in the early 1990s.
