The following machines equipped with a SPIKE2 system have only 6 pins on their CN5 connector:
On these machines, there was no dedicated subwoofer output.
Please connect your connector like on the following picture.
Important note: only the “Stereo Line-out” connector can be used (even for connecting an external subwoofer).
Both Line-out & Subwoofer connectors need a STEREO cable.
Make sure your cable is a stereo one, as it won’t work with a MONO cable.
This connector is not compatible with Stern SPIKE 1 machines.
If you connect an external device (such as an external audio sound board or an external amplifier), to avoid any ground noise, you can plug a “ground loop noise isolator“.
You will need a 3.5mm stereo to RCA cable in order to connect your subwoofer. Depending on your subwoofer input (mono or stereo), you should connect your cable as shown below:
For mono input subwoofer: plug 3.5mm stereo-to-RCA cable into the Stereo Subwoofer female cable, and plug only one of the RCA end to your subwoofer mono input.
For stereo input subwoofer: plug 3.5mm stereo-to-RCA cable into the Stereo Subwoofer female cable, and plug the RCA end to your subwoofer stereo input.
Warning: Always use line level input, never use high level input.
More than 10 years ago, Nicolas and Timothée, aka “The PinSound Brothers”, set themselves the challenge of designing a new sound board from scratch to improve the sound of their favorite pinball machine: The Twilight Zone.
Passionate about pinball machines since childhood and coming from a family of musicians, Nicolas and Timothée are trained engineers, respectively in software and hardware.
After two whole years of development and sleepless nights, the alliance of this shared passion and their technical expertise gave birth to the very first replacement sound board for pinball machines: the “PinSound Board”. The PinSound adventure was just beginning!
After a very enthusiastic reception from the community, the two brothers continued to innovate to offer even more products. Always with the same objective: to give you a totally new and immersive experience with your pinball machine.
In addition to new soundtracks, PinSound now offers products such as replacement CPU boards, shaker kits, speaker kits, headphone connectivity… These products are compatible with 150+ different pinball machines, including the latest STERN Spike pinball machines.
“Enhance your machine and start a new game!”
