Abstract

In this paper authors describe reasons why various audio hardware design and business
concepts failed and even furthermore slowed down development of professional audio hardware. Various
marketing approaches accompanied with a lack of technical standards as well as technical and legal rules
that will foster manufacturers to obey rigorous technical standards led a vast majority of audio industry to
stagnation and loss of quality strategy towards increase of quality, improvements of technical
specifications and finding better price/value relationship. Authors create development system that may be
helpful in design of free audio hardware that would be used in professional audio applications as well as
in related disciplines. Authors use free software (see content of GPL, LGPL and BSD licenses) as well as
software packages that are free of charge in hardware design that is aimed to be freely distributable
among potential users, scholars, scientists, music enthusiasts and those who might be interested in audio
hardware design and implementation.
