Since he does not have a merchants account the only way he can take credit cards is via Paypal. In a nutshell no or far to little profit margin. I bet he has yet to recover fully from the cost of development and initial manufacturing. james |
VoiceMax is Coming...
Will you be ready?
http://www.telstar-electronics.com/d...evelopment.htm Lol. SSM2166 on the PCB. I built that by myself long time ago. Nothing new. PCB could be designed more compact... those big VR's... Anyway nothing revolutionary. Mike |

You're absolutely right... the SSM2166 is nothing new. This IC has been ignored in the marketplace because of its high price. Since I only build premium electronics in small quanities... I'm not concerned with that. My products are expensive... but are robust and reliable. Some people are willing to pay for that... many are not. As for the pots... you're also right. The production PCB (being fabricated as we speak) will be using smaller 6mm diameter pots for the adjustments. The whole unit will be 1.6"x1.6"x0.32" Thanks for your comments. www.telstar-electronics.com |

At $2.75 per 1000 units budgetary price that is not all that far out of line for low production runs. Now if you want to buy 50 pieces from your favorite broker who deals in obsolete and hard to find parts, yep you might pay $10 to $15 per IC. That would be high price. But in a market that may sell 50K to 100k units per year, you should get the ICs for about $2.25 a piece. Trust me in a consumer electronics market 50K to 100K units per year is small sales. You start to get into big sales at around 1 to 5 million units per year. Then you can get big price breaks. +++As for the pots... you're also right.

Well... the latest revision VoiceMax boards with smaller pots and
minor improvements for manufacturability are due to ship tomorrow. These units will be offered again out on Ebay (at a price below production units) in a week or so as pre-production units. It's very likely that these units will be exactly the same as production units. Thanks to everyone out there that have helped in the development of this product. www.telstar-electronics.com |
