With the new year right around the corner, we’re excited to present you with the 2024 Prototyping & Production edition of ElektorMag. Our cover project — an audio DSP FX processor board — is a complete prototyping platform developed by Clemens Valens for audio and sound enthusiasts. But that's not all. In this production-focused issue, you’ll find an in-depth article on KiCad 8, a small op-amp tester project, a background article on PCBs and safety, and much more.
