Earbud controler......

[Metro]

Hi. I have asked around and looked around without any luck to find a device
that you can plug a set of earbuds with a 3.5mm stereo plug into that can
control the output volume of both left and right channels independently from
the stereo output of a radio, ebook etc. Many radios etc these days come
with a stereo socket but only one volume control for both channels. Some
stations broadcast with the volume uneven and it's quite annoying. Any help
would be grateful.

TIA

Would also be handy for noise cancelling headphones on aircraft.

I have a set and the minimum volume on the aircraft is still too loud in the
headset.

Can use a single pot wired for balance control instead of fiddling with
two adjustments, one for each ear.

Connect the signal to either side of a 20K lin pot via a 1K resistor and
the gnd wire to the centre. Insertion loss is a few dB but you probably
have plenty of gain to start with.

I have thought of something similar. But it would be nice not to have a home

made 'look' about it. A compact device not unlike a Nokia in line switch/mic
look.

Thanks for your thoughts .................

Not what you are asking for but a solution may be go old school and select
mono.

buy two "earphones with volume control". throw out half of each.
except keep both controls one for left one for right.
