Greetings Pinball Wizards!
We're excited to introduce a great new product in the pinball audio area: PINBLASTER (specifically for STERN Spike 2 machines).
Because Spike 2 machines are unfortunately famous for their lack of oomph, we have created a super integrated amplifier board.
PINBLASTER integrated features:
- 200W stereo + center power amplifier
- Integrated DCDC power supply: compact, efficient, and reliable, without the need for external power modules or a service socket with a wall wart.
- Tone control EQ: tweak frequency cutoffs and bass/treble adjustments with the onboard preamplifier
- Low noise differential preamplifier without using a distorting isolation transformer: Say goodbye to ground loop, hum, and noise issues.
- Line out & subwoofer outputs: with adjustable gain/volume
- Headphones output (compatible with Stern headphones accessory or PinSound Headphones Station MASTER)
- RGB Smart Status LED: intuitive diagnostics at a glance (undervoltage, clip, thermal protection, ...)
- Integrated micro-controller: because we want pop-free audio power-up and power-off
- 15-Second, cable-free, tool-free installation: yes, really
- Backlit board RGB knobs: just because it's so cool
- Subwoofer daisy chain: you can daisy-chain-connect up to 6 Pinblaster boards to a single external subwoofer
- Universal speaker compatibility (for PRO / PREMIUM / LE & any aftermarket speakers)
