Description

ANGELO is an open hardware platform for the experimental amplification and equalization of environmental and voice-related audio signals in non-clinical contexts. The project originates as an open hardware initiative focused on personal research, technical experimentation, educational activities, maker culture, and social inclusion.

The project is intended to be studied, assembled, replicated, adapted, and improved as an example of open source audio electronics. Its documentation is made available so that makers, fablabs, schools, technicians, independent researchers, volunteers, and local communities may understand its architecture, assess its limitations, replicate it responsibly, and, if they wish, contribute to its evolution.
