What stays
in our rack
Open hardware
Schematics, layouts, bills of materials, and licenses that let a build outlive a product cycle.
Embedded sound
Real-time DSP, microcontrollers, codecs, and the constraints that turn code into an instrument.
Repair culture
Reverse engineering, preservation, and practical work that keeps useful audio gear out of landfill.
Builder networks
The forums, maintainers, workshops, and small teams moving shared designs forward.
03 / Our circuit
We cover audio hardware you can inspect, modify, repair, and learn from.
