Latest News & Updates Finally! The flash animation fading frog logo is no longer the boring space holder for a website, now there's actually some content... Tom will be proud. I've finally sat down and worked out a web page with regards to what Charette Pro Audio is all about or at least what it's evolved into over the years. Whether the site is good or not remains to be seen. There is some technical information in here about pro audio gear, repairs, design, thoughts and otherwise. Feel free to browse around and hopefully you'll be through it all quick enough that boredom won't come about followed by fury of having one's time wasted on useless preaching better left unmentioned. ENJOY! "The major difference between a thing that might go wrong and a thing that cannot possibly go wrong is that when a thing that cannot possibly go wrong goes wrong it usually turns out to be impossible to get at or repair." - Douglas Adams So... What do we do? If it's electronic and a customer has a problem that needs fixing, would like an augmentation or customization, or a complete design from the ground up, we'll take a look at just about anything. Our services include: - Custom design and engineering of low voltage electronics, analog & digital, embedded software, prototype construction, PC board design & artwork, small quantity manufacturing. - Component level circuit board repair, including surface mount, through hole, and antique electronics with point to point wiring and vacuum tubes. - Multi-pair cabling systems used in recording studios, PA system snakes, multi-pin connectors, etc. design, wiring, installation. - Recording and broadcast patchbays, design, wiring, installation. - Professional audio equipment repair, refurbishment, custom modifications, maintenance. - Distributed commercial & industrial PA systems, e.g. retail in-store overhead background music systems, classroom presentation systems, courtroom audio assistance & recording, design, installation, maintenance. Primarily, the area of interest and work that we do is centered around the electronics and gadgetry in the professional audio arena, i.e. recording studios, concert PA systems, commercial & industrial audio system installations, high-end home audio systems, etc. However, we speak the language of electronics, and have dealt with a large array of different genres of electronics circuitry including things like: - manufacturing & production machinery logic (PLCs) - game logic circuits (pinball, video games, amusement & gumball, etc.) - commercial restaurant equipment controls (espresso machines, timers, thermostats, etc.) A brief note on our electronic repair philosophy: Quite a strive has been made by manufacturers of electronics to create modular designs, i.e. equipment that consists of plug-in circuit board modules. In this way it's easy to track a problem and swap out the suspect board. There clearly is a benefit of speed in getting the equipment operational again, should the owner happen to have spare board modules to perform the swap. However, board modules, depending on the size and complexity can be quite costly.
