Custom Audio Appliances

Combining our extensive computer technology experience with audio software products, we offer the service of building custom designed audio appliances for recording, sampling and midi soft-synths. Housed in an industrial strength 1RU or 2RU rack mountable case, these computers are fitted with quality selected components that we have found work best with audio applications in terms of stability and reliability. These appliances are well suited to studio rack or roadcase installations. These can also be configured for remote control via ethernet. If you prefer a laptop solution, we can advise on these types of solutions.

You select the type of audio appliance you are after and we will source, assemble, configure, test and burn in. We back up our appliances with solid after sales support and will take full responsibility to ensure your appliance works flawlessly.

The following table shows examples of the types of options available. However, if you have specific requirements not covered here, please contact us. Based on your software requirements (which should always be the starting point), we will recommend the most suitable hardware and operating system options for each situation on a case-by-case basis.

All software is purchased with full manufacturer's warranty on the customer's behalf. Prices vary depending upon the options selected, but as rough guide range between 1500 and 3000 Euro for a turnkey system including after sales support.

These are the steps that we take with each order to ensure the best results:

• Analyse customer requirements and recommend configurations
• Source components
• Assemble the hardware
• Install operating system, hardware drivers and tune for the application
• Install and configure the software package(s) required to a 'switch on and work' configuration
• Fully test and burn in your appliance
• Deliver the appliance to you
