This is a set of 4 potentiometry, these are brand new, custom-made wirewound potentiometers designed specifically as high-quality replacements for the original level controls used in Acoustic Research AR-2 and other vintage AR speakers.

Developed over a period of two years in collaboration with the manufacturer, these controls are a modern, superior alternative to the originals that often corrode, seize, or fail over time.

• Resistance: 16 Ohms

• Power Rating: 25 Watts

• Construction: Ceramic body for improved heat dissipation

• Type: Precision wirewound potentiometer

• Condition: Brand new, never used

• Bonus: Complimentary installation instructions and full AR-2 schematics in PDF format

Unlike the original controls, these new units are built to handle higher thermal loads and provide smooth, consistent operation over the full rotation range. The ceramic housing ensures excellent durability and helps dissipate heat efficiently, extending the life of the control and preserving sound quality.

Each kit comes with detailed installation instructions and original AR-2 schematics in PDF format, provided as a complimentary bonus to assist with a smooth and accurate restoration process.

Perfect for restoring your AR-2 speakers to top performance — or upgrading other vintage AR models that use similar 16Ω level controls.
