• Do you need help with your disk recording or mastering system? 
• Do you have the feeling your tape machine has more trimmers than you would know what to do with? 
• Do you need advice on how to use your audio setup to its full potential? 
• Are you an audio equipment manufacturer looking to outsource product design to experienced engineers familiar with manufacturing processes? 
• Are you an audio professional, seeking someone to design and even assemble a one-off circuit to solve a particular problem to boost your productivity and simplify your workflow? 
• Is your laboratory in need of highly specialised electronics or mechanical precision instruments which are simply not available anywhere? 
• Are you struggling with vintage or obsolete equipment, spare parts or tools? 
• Are you losing sleep due to downtime as a result of equipment/machinery failure in the studio, at the factory, or in the laboratory? 
• Are you having trouble with your quality control or manufacturing parameter control? 
• Are your design engineers constantly producing designs/drawings/schematics that the manufacturing department cannot manufacture, or when they can, the end result does not function as expected? 
• Are you manufacturing a product but have no idea how to test if it actually meets the requirements set forth by published standards documents? 
• Does it measure right but it just sounds plain wrong? 
• #$^*%~>$$&**?!?
