 **Discussion:** Given the availability of a less costly remote control transmitter that I secured for the SLR and CFR chassis and AVA's new ability to burn microcontrollers in-house, it was natural to apply these to replace the more expensive and now 14 year old design still being used in their RB (Real Basic) preamplifer chassis. As was the case 14 years before, I expected AVA to adopt the remote control as standard equipment on the RB chassis, but again they decided to offer it as an option, albeit not as costly as the solution it replaced. As of early 2021, they have made it a standard feature for all preamps using this chassis design.

+Embedded design for IR remote control sending with silicone membrane switches.
+**Contribution:** Concept origination, development, and implementation.
+**Discussion:** To help address issues with supplier chains in AVA's existing remote control vendors, I decided it would be a good idea if they had the ability to vertically integrate remote control production as needed. This is the first fruit of that endeavor. It is a PCB based around a very low power microcontroller implementation and accompanying firmware that is retrofitted into one of AVA's existing vendor-supplied cases. The solution provides in-house customization of remote control codes and their timing.

-Within audio, my work focuses on developing solutions that represent meaningful audio progress rather than chasing coloration signatures that happen to be fashionable. On a more general level, my design interests include a desire to bring greater equity to technological realms and to improve user experiences in every stage of product use. I try to bring all this to bear as much as possible in my work for AVA.
