Some manufacturers give away their product evaluation kits. Why don?t you?
Our evaluation kits are extensive and provide components that are not usually found in engineering labs. Power amp applications often require somewhat specialized components and we provide these rather than expect our customers to research and procure such components. Even though we charge a fee for our kits we think they represent good value since the kits save time and ensure that the proper components are available to develop the application circuit in a timely way. Q: Why don’t your evaluation kits include the amplifier? A: There are several reasons. We try to keep amplifier models in stock for quick delivery of a few pieces and we don’t like to tie up our stock of amplifiers in evaluation kits. Also, evaluation kits support optional accessory modules. If we included the amplifier why not also the accessory modules? This approach would raise the overall cost of the evaluation kit. And finally, we have customers that purchase the evaluation kit and not the amplifier. Their approach
