Pro Audio and Stage Electronics
Pro audio electronics carry signal quality and reliability expectations that translate directly to stage and installation performance. Noise floor variance from ground pour inconsistency or component placement errors shows up in the field, not on the bench. Connector assembly torque discipline is the difference between a touring product and a return.
Buyer pains we hear most
- Noise floor variance between units traces to ground pour inconsistency or component placement deviations that AOI does not catch
- Dante and AES67 certification requires a reference network test environment that must be part of the production test plan
- Torque-controlled connector assembly for XLR, etherCON, and Neutrik connectors is required for touring product reliability
- Per-region RF tuning for wireless microphone frequency variants requires firmware and filter configuration at the production line
Typical product traits
- Low-noise analog front end with 24-bit ADC and careful ground plane management
- DSP engine (SHARC, TI C5000, or ARM with NEON) with defined latency budget
- PoE-powered Dante or AES67 network audio endpoint
- Robust XLR, Neutrik, and etherCON connector termination with defined torque specification
Regulatory environment
Audio/video and ICT equipment safety
IEC 62368-1
EU Radio Equipment Directive (wireless audio)

Test plan considerations
- Per-unit noise floor measurement against specification limit with defined test signal and load conditions
- Dante or AES67 audio stream test against reference network endpoint per unit
- RF output power and frequency accuracy test for wireless receiver variants
- Connector torque audit and pull-force sample test per batch for touring-grade products
Frequently asked questions
Do we need a written test plan?
Yes. A production test plan defines pass and fail criteria, FCT vectors, calibration steps, and serialization rules. We help draft one if your team has not written one yet, based on your firmware behavior and target field performance.
Can you load and provision firmware in production?
Yes. In-line firmware loading during functional test and offline programming via dedicated fixtures. We support SWD, JTAG, UART, and USB-DFU interfaces, multi-image programming (bootloader, application, file system), and signed bootloader chains.
Do you support RoHS and REACH compliance?
Yes. We work with RoHS-compliant component selection and SAC305 lead-free solder by default. REACH substance documentation comes from supplier declarations forwarded with each batch.
