Note the 220K resistor in each channel.
They are part of the shunt style balance control. No center tap is needed if the wiper is grounded; all it does is keeping the gain balanced and not mixing with the other channel if the wiper were to fail.

- FWIW if you just have a grounded wiper it works exactly the same. - Ralph 08:15:36 04/17/25 (10)

- I don't use a balance control but I can see that it would work. Just differently. - Tre' 14:04:18 04/17/25 (7)
