Quoted from kermit24:

All,
Looks like the Spike 2 headphone jack accessory from Stern is finally available for $99. I wish it also had the game main volume control on it like the Pinovators jack. Is this made by them?

While this is nice, What we use the most is the main game volume kill switch that Pinnovators has.
This will be a hassle if I have to open the coin door every time to turn down the exterior game volume every time and then back up again.
I sure hope Pinnovators is still allowed to make their own version like they did for SAM games.

Edit.... I sent Pinnovators an email asking if they were still going to be able to make their own? We shall see.

Quoted from Kobaja:

I've talked to them. They do not have a headphone kit for spike 2.

Thanks. I did not get any response from my email to them.
I have talked with them in the past and got two different stories.
1. We can't do Spike 2 at this time.
2. We are actively working on it.

As all my games have Pinnovators headphone jacks with Subwoofer output as well, I really miss not having it on my Aerosmith.

Quoted from lllvjr:

We've already designed a kit for spike 2, mark just refuses to let me make it. Instead of a 3.5mm off the spike 2 board it's a five prong wire plug in.(I laughed when I saw their file photo of 3.5mm on both ends). They took all the tech and coded it into the spike 2 board, the minute u plug the wire into the spike board the headphone kit options appear in the menu scroll.

Who is Mark and why does he not want my Aerosmith to have your great products?

Quoted from kermit24:

Is a specialty board part of this accessory kit? Maybe we will see lower cost aftermarket options still?

I have had no problem with the $100 cost from Pinnovators, but you do also get dedicated sub woofer output jack as well which is awesome.

Quoted from lllvjr:

If your research what people have posted on other threads, anyone who’s switched from speaker taps to using my sub adapters will tell you they have to turn the subs down.
Yes the signal from the adapter is a stereo signal

I am a true believer in the sub adapter. It is a great product.
Still waiting on headphone jack system for my Aerosmith though.
Not buying Sterns if there is even a slight chance of Pinnovators getting one done.

Quoted from AwesomeDolphin76:

It looks to me like there's barely any actual electronics here. The connecters are very standard 0.1" pin-headers. Then there's just a pot and a headphone connecter. The actual electronics are probably on the Spike board itself.
A casual glance at the picture says that anyone dedicated enough could build this for $10, and get the full functionality of the menu system as well.

I agree.
Looks as simple as it gets with off the shelf parts.
