 **Contribution:** Concept origination, development, and implementation.
-**Discussion:** I was aware that AVA was losing preamplifier sales because they didn’t support any kind of remote control and that AVA regarded even the simplest of remote control functionality an unsolvable problem given their manufacturing quantities and methods. So I decided to solve it. The solution hinged on working with a turnkey supplier of remote control transmitters and pre-programmed receiver ICs and sourcing a motorized potentiometer that was as good as the potentiometers they were using. The result involved minimal changes to the chassis design and a build that was easier than the non-remote approach they had been using.

-My original expectation was that AVA would offer the remote as standard equipment on all “big body” preamplifiers. Instead it was offered as a relatively costly option, which they justified because the remote control transmitters were costly, which they were because of the small quantities they ordered them in, which was the case because remote control was offered only as an option.
