Subject: [Doepfer_a100] bad and good news


A lot of our suppliers announced significant price increases or have
already
increased their prices. E.g. the jack sockets are increased by 30%, the
rotary potentiometer by 25% and the vactrols by 300% (no typing error,
the
price is three times compared to the former price). Most of the price
increases are caused by the new lead-free/ROHS law (restriction of
hazardous
substances). The price increases for integrated circuits (provided that
the
will be continued ...) and other ROHS compatible electronic parts are
acceptable (~5% or even less).

We will have to re-calculate our prices and I expect price increases in
the
5-15% range (depending on the parts used in the module in question). The
new
prices will be valid from January 1st, 2006. For all orders we receive
not
later than December 31th, 2005 the old prices are still valid.

I'm very sorry about that but we cannot compensate price increases in
the
ranges mentioned above and I expect that other module manufacturers will
follow soon (as you know we all use e.g. the same Cliff 3,5 mm jack
sockets).

But there are also some good news:

We still have many patch cords from earlier production series in stock.
As
of now (December 1st, 2005) you can get three free cables of your choice
together with each A-100 module. The cables are available in the same
colors
and lengths as the new cables (for details please refer to A-100
accessories) but the plugs are a bit different. Only the green 2 m
cables
are not available within this campaign as these were not manufactured
earlier. The special offer is valid while stocks last.

Best wishes
Dieter Doepfer
