i will be willing to signup for a kick-starter type funding if the first production run partly financed through early adopters is a possibility.
But hopefully all HW/SW bugs are ironed out? drivers? front-end software testing?
Is the hardware performance itself checked and calibrated against something like an AP?

So, can we have an estimate, perhaps, "X" hundred Euro to "1.6X" Euro.
Then as you are closer to production, perhaps "1.2X" to "1.4X".
And so on, wider if you further from production, more accurate as you are closer.

There are several configurations of the Bowdencable switches from Schurter. It depends on what is needed. The cable itself will be a custom design since the dimensions will have to fit to the mechanical design.
You can get more information here:
KD-Bowdencable - IEC Appliance Inlet C14 with Fuseholder 1- or 2-pole, Bowden-Line Switch 2-pole and Voltage Selector
To get a complete solution you need the switch, a cable and a fuse holder. There are many options!

Here is a LED Audio Spectrum Analyzer with NeoPixel RGB LED Matrix and ARM microcontroller.
Below is the competed circuit diagram and PCB, where you can see it very clearly.

It was designed in EasyEDA. It is a cloud-based EDA application, you can draw circuits, run SPICE simulation, design PCBs, and even place an order for fabricating PCBs here.

I am working on that.
I hope to have some news soon
Count me in...
Hi All.
The process from first prototype to production has been slower than anticipated. But things are moving forward and the project has come to a point, where it is possible to announce pricing and approximate delivery schedule. Having just passed 100.000 views today also seemed like a good reason for providing further information.
The project started as a hobby project, but the production and sales will be handled by the company RTX A/S (RTX), based in Denmark. RTX is active within development and production of advanced wireless solutions. I co-founded RTX more than 20 years ago and I still work there. Since 2010 I have mainly worked with development of wireless pro-audio products. The Audio Analyzer is partly based on some of the experience gained through this activity.
Some months ago we started the assembly of 20 prototypes. Most of these are now close to final assembly, waiting for the final mechanical parts to arrive. A couple of the boards have been used for testing alternative op-amps and may never be completely finished. I have made detailed measurements on most of the boards to get some statistics regarding the performance.
A few minor changes have been made on the production version of the PCB's mainly for stability and preparing for additional components needed with some of the alternative op-amps. No changes are considered major risks.
I really appreciate the inputs and support received on this forum. Therefore the Audio Analyzer will be available to members of this forum at a discounted price for a limited period of time.
The diyaudio group buy price is USD 1199 with more than 10 units.
The diyaudio group buy price is USD 999 with more than 50 units.
The group buy price level represents a discount of approximately 50% compared to the expected regular price.
The prices do not include VAT, import tax or shipping.
The offer is limited to a maximum of 2 units per diyaudio member.
The offer is open until the end of January 2017.
Only members with a join date prior to December 2016 are allowed to enter the group buy.
I and RTX kindly request your continued feedback on the product when you have tried it out, in order for us to continue to improve upon the product.
The finished products are expected to be ready for shipment by April/May 2017. We will do our best to pull in the schedule, but there are some long lead time components, which may make it difficult to deliver earlier.
Thanks to everyone here for your continued interest in the Audio Analyzer. I will be back soon with the practical information regarding ordering. The formal part of this may not be available until early January.

Hi JensH, a request if possible - 650 posts now in the thread(!) - would it be possible at this point to post just a quick summary of (expected) specifications and software that is supported (ARTA)? Or if that has been posted already, just a link to that post?
I've been reading the thread from time to time, the analyzer certainly looks interesting, but I've missed a lot of the posts along the way. I have the "toy" QA401 now. Your analyzer should be a nice step up.
Thank you!

It started as a diy project. But the result was so good that I thought it would be a shame not to make it available to others as well.
The group buy price is really aggressive, with no room for making a margin, perhaps even making a loss. It is definitely more expensive to manufacture than e.g. the QA401, due to the complexity and the wish to get the best possible performance.
If some find it too expensive for their application that's fair enough. But I think people who want the performance get good value for the money.
I expect that there will be another thread where the commercial side can be handled. Then this thread can hopefully continue with the technical discussions, including suggestions for new features etc.
