audio taper (aka A-taper): Usually 15% resistance at the 50% rotation point.
E-taper Similar to a reversed audio taper but with 25% resistance at the 50% rotation point.
linear taper (aka B-taper): Always 50% resistance at the 50% travel point.
log taper (aka D-taper): Often used as an audio taper since its 50% rotation point has 10% resistance.
MN taper (aka balance pot) Special taper developed for home stereo "Balance" controls. Consists of two sections (one for each channel) operating opposite each other. Exactly one-half of each section is a zero resistance surface (i.e., solid-copper or equivalent), the next 50% of travel is linear taper. Therefore for one channel rotating the slider through the first 50% of travel does not change the level at all, while the other channel is reduce from full to zero, and vice versa, with the middle position (usually featuring a center-detent) always passing full signal to each channel. See balance control.
RD-taper A reversed D-taper (see log taper above).
