Choose between having jack sockets easier to read placed near their associated controls, or at the bottom of the panel so that patch cables are more easily kept out of the way.<ref name="measures"/><ref name="shed">[https://shedsynth.wordpress.com/2021/01/02/knobs/ Knobs], ShedSynth, 1 Jan 2021</ref>
With pots at about 18mm between centres, 12mm diameter Davies 1900h knobs can be used comfortably. Theses are used on many Eurorack modules.<ref name="shed"/>
Design the panel so that behind the panel the component bodies have enough clearance from each other and in front both the controls and the users fingers have enough room to operate. Also check that any close to an edge won't interfere with mounting the panel into its enclosure. Check the angle of rotation of the pot will match the scale going to be marked on the panel.<ref name="mikmo">{{Cite web |url=http://www.mikmo.dk/synthpanels.html |title=How i make front panels. |accessdate=2016-04-22 |archiveurl=https://web.archive.org/web/20160812144730/http://www.mikmo.dk/synthpanels.html |archivedate=2016-08-12 |deadurl=yes |df= }}</ref><!-- here -->
