Yamaha VA255400 Potentiometer PM3000 Series

Product Description

The YAMAHA VA255400 is a dual-gang potentiometer rated A20K and C20K, designed as a factory replacement component for Yamaha PM3000 series mixing consoles with serial number PK01001 and up. Potentiometers of this type control signal level or parameter adjustment on professional audio mixing boards and are replaced by qualified electronics or audio service technicians when the original component develops noise, channel drop-out, or tracking error. This part uses the exact Yamaha part number and taper specification required for a correct OEM-style restoration of affected console channels.

This potentiometer is intended for use in Yamaha PM3000 series professional mixing consoles, serial number PK01001 and up. It is a service and repair part suited for professional audio equipment technicians performing component-level board repair. Installation requires desoldering the original component and soldering in the replacement, making this a task for technicians experienced with through-hole or PCB soldering on audio equipment.

Key Features

• Dual-gang design with A20K and C20K taper configuration for matched stereo or dual-parameter control
• OEM Yamaha replacement part — matches original factory specification
• Compatible with PM3000 series consoles from serial number PK01001 forward

Installation Notes

Installation should be performed by a qualified electronics or audio service technician with experience in PCB-level soldering. Power down and disconnect the mixing console from all power sources before beginning component removal.
