Dave told me the resonance control section on the datasheet is wrong, it has been redesigned.
He didn’t specifically say that it didn’t need a log control, but I guess if they thought that was an issue, they may have fixed it.
I’ll be controlling them digitally, so it doesn’t bother me either way.
I got an autographed copy of the SSI2144 datasheet ;)
