Not my thing personally, but would you consider making a kit version like other manufacturers? At least for the early adopters could be a nice route and lower the price somewhat.

Although you did not mention it I never expected a sub 1000€ price tag.

That would make it the most expensive piece of gear in my home studio, if you do not count the laptop.

As I said, it certainly seems to tick all the boxes, but hard to justify. I still hope that you can validate the concept and in a couple of years I can grab one for around 500€.

Once again, best of luck on a very interesting if very niche project!

I briefly thought about making a Kit version ... but this actually does not make it much cheaper. As long as there is anything pre soldered to the Board, you'd need CE to comply in the EU. (some manufacturers simply ignore that) Besides this, PCB assembly is pretty cheap compared to all the Component Costs.

And as I'm currently doing the end assembly by myself, for free. There is no cost saving in this either.

I might be able to make a cheap version in the future. But this would probably be a completely different product (no full size connectors, smaller display, made in china, ...) It would only share the software with the current version.
