Plans For March

• Fully Functional Amplifier

• Device Housing Completed

• Full Prototype Built– All parts brought together

• Demonstration Designed

Issues / Concerns

• High-Pass Stage Clipping (next slide)– Half-amplification

• Passing Original Signal– Leave device plugged, but powered off– Researching switch types to compensate
