sessions.
Room for downloading up to 100
more sessions.
Sessions organized in
categories for easier selection.
Convenient thumbwheel adjustment of volume and intensity.

compatible, microphone input with volume control and much more.
Nova Pro 100 features:
100 Built-in sessions: Including the
50 Nova Pro sessions, the 10 quick mood change sessions from the Muse#
and 40 new sessions.
How it works: Sessions are organized in 8
categories: relax, meditate, sleep, learn, energize, visualize, entertain
and special. Sessions are selected by selecting a category then a session
within the category (so you don't have to wade through 100 sessions
every time). In any category, the selection process proceeds through
the built-in sessions, then through any downloaded sessions in that
category.
Download capability: room for 100 downloaded sessions
(or a total of 1000 session segments).
How it works: Downloaded sessions are given
a category at download time, a single download can be 1 to 25 sessions
in any one category. The downloaded session index is automatically
reorganized to keep the sessions sorted in the intended categories,
no matter what the order of download.
AudioStrobe compatible: AudioStrobe
(licensed from Tamas Laboratories) is a registered Trademark of Tamas
Laboratories in Germany, who holds the German patent on the technology.
How it works: Signals are recorded
on a music CD at a high, inaudible frequency, to control the lights
in a light/sound system. An Audio Strobe decoder detects these signals
and uses them to drive the lights of a light/sound system, absolutely
in sync with the music. Just connect your CD player to the external
input of the Nova Pro 100, and play the CD, with your headphones and
glasses connected to the Nova Pro 100 normally, for an amazing AudioStrobe
experience. For best results, do this while no session is running on
the Nova Pro 100.
Session run time: A session may be run
at 1/2 to 2 (in steps of 1/4) times its designed time. The 3 digit
display can display up to 4 hours of run time; however, downloaded
sessions may be designed to run much longer than this -- the maximum
possible run time is over 100 days.
Pitch: The Nova Pro 100 pitch is extended two octaves
at the low end, to 16 hertz (a total of 14 new pitches). The total
pitch range is 16Hz to 960Hz, 6 octaves of the just scale, 7 notes/octave.
Also, the pitch 2 relative to pitch 1 mode is extended to cover P1
minus 1 to 15 hertz, as well as the P1 plus 1 to 15 hertz provided
on the Nova Pro. The low frequencies have a very powerful effect with
the standard headphones, for even stronger effects you can use more
expensive headphones.
Frequency range: Stimulation frequency is also extended
downward by two octaves, from one hertz to 1/4 hertz. Three new frequencies,
3/4, 1/2 and 1/4 hertz (only three frequencies, but it is two octaves).
Frequencies go in steps of 1/4 hertz through 2 hertz, 1/2 hertz through
10 hertz, 1 hertz through 20 hertz and 2 hertz through 42 hertz. The
Schumann resonance at 7.83 hertz is also included.
Duty cycle, Phase: Duty cycle control
from 1/8 to 7/8 in steps of 1/8 is provided. There are six selectable
phasing relationships between the four stimulation channels (two eyes,
two ears) in the pulsed tones. Light phase is also controllable in
the binaural beat modes.
Tone selection: There are 7 sound tones,
utilizing the two frequencies F1 and F2 and pitches P1 and P2.
·PFr, pulsed frequency. Pitch P1 is
pulsed at frequency F1. The pulsed tones provide a beep beep sound
at the selected frequency F1 while the lights are blinking at the F1
rate.
·PSu, pulsed surf. A surf sound is
pulsed at frequency F1.
·PCh, a pulsed chord with controllable
chord separation from a minor third to a full octave.
·bb, binaural beats sends different
pitches to two ears (pitch P1 to the left ear, Pitch P1 plus frequency
F1 to the right ear) and the sound source direction detection mechanism
in your auditory system picks up the difference frequency F1, while
the lights blink at the F1 rate.
·bbS, binaural beats with surf, a
soothing surf sound is the background for binaural beats.
·dbb, in dual binaural beats there
are four tone generators running at once, the left ear receives pitches
P1 and P2 mixed together, the right ear receives pitch (P1+F1) mixed
with pitch (P2+F2). This gives two binaural beat ranges at the same
time, and provides for monaural beat possibilities.
New:
·dSb, dual monaural beats, Monaural
beats occur when two closely spaced pitches are mixed in the same
ear, beats are heard at the difference of the pitches. The dual monaural
beat tone, new and unique to the Nova Pro 100 , sends P1 and P1+F1
to the left ear, creating monaural beats at F1, and P2 and P2+F2 to
the right ear, creating monaural beats at F2. In addition, the left
eye lights blink at the F1 rate, the right eye lights at the F2 rate,
for a true dual stimulation frequency experience.
Two user ports: ports for two
simultaneous users (Headphone/glasses combinations are available at
a special price for the second user). The drive circuitry handles the
second user with no degradation from one user performance.
Four system control choices. The Nova Pro 100 synthesized
stimulation can be controlled by a selected built-in session or downloaded
session, manually from the keyboard, or remotely via a COM port connection
from a computer. When the system is in manual mode it accepts commands
from both the keyboard and the COM port.
Ramps (gradual changes in frequency and pitch -- yes,
we ramp pitch) can now be commanded in the manual mode, from the keyboard
or the COM port. Specify a ramp time (up to 10 minutes), specify the
target frequencies and pitches (two of each in the dual binaural beat
and dual monaural beat tones), and command the ramp to start. The frequency
and pitch display follows the ramp to three digit accuracy or to 1/8
hertz as it progresses.
Microphone input with volume control is provided for
voiceover during a session. A balanced input amplifier with 1% resistors
for noise cancellation accepts dynamic mikes, or electret mikes with
their own power source, with 1/8 inch mono connectors. We have used
the Radio Shack 33-2001A dynamic mike, and the 33-1060 electret mike
with good results.
Gentle on/gentle off, sessions start with a gradual
volume and intensity ramp up to selected levels, and end with a gentle
ramp down to off.
Battery saving Automatic shutdown with
user disable is provided.
Personal Preference Program setting capability.
Remaining Session time display.
Session pause feature.
Sine wave sound with pitch ramping.
Programming capability, full user programming
capability from a PC computer.
Thumbwheel controls, the system provides convenient
thumbwheel potentiometer control of sound volume and light intensity,
the same volume and intensity for each of the two users.
New glasses drive circuit provides positive control
over the current through the glasses, four circuits for the right and
left sides for the two pairs of glasses, with 1% resistors for current
matching. The Nova Pro 100 glasses polarity is "CG" (for
common ground).
The Nova Pro feature of providing a constant voltage charging circuit
to protect the battery is continued on the Nova Pro 100. The AC adapter
can be connected permanently without damaging the battery. The AC adapter
input is protected against voltage reversal (if an adapter with negative
tip is connected accidentally), and against a short time accidental
connection of a higher voltage adapter up to 26 volts. A 9 volt AC
Adapter with 300 milliamperes of current capacity, positive inside
2.1 mm connector is provided. A 2.5 mm connector will also work, and
a higher current rating is OK. Higher voltage adapters connected to
the Nova Pro 100 for a long time however, will overheat the input regulator
and may eventually burn it out.
 What you get: System
unit, stimulation glasses, Pro headphones, AC adapter, computer cable,
Light/Sound Designer, Fun&Games sessions on disc with free Light/Sound
Librarian software, stereo cord, manual, in plastic carrying case with
a fitted protective foam insert. 1 year warranty.
220 AC adapter Note: The
Nova Pro 100 is also available with 220AC Adapter.
