PinWoofer GT - New Product Announcement

We are pleased to announce the next step in pinball audio; our new product - the PinWoofer GT.

Over that past 16 months we've introduced the V1 subwoofer kit and shortly thereafter, the V2 subwoofer + backbox kit. Since then we've had time to learn the ecosystem and take in a significant amount of feedback. In addition, we've had have a number of ideas and improvements of our own that we wanted to incorporate into a future product. The end result is something we believe is better in every way!

I'm old school and while I would not consider myself a "golden ear", I do know what sounds good and have gained a thorough understanding of audio through decades of engineering. One of the goals from the start of GT was to implement a completely analog approach both in the passive mixing of the audio taps and throughout the system level. Meaning, the GT is a 100% analog (i.e. no digital whatsoever). Hearing new things in the audio track with our system is no exaggeration - particularly in the newer backboxes; sounds effects like glass shattering, thunder claps, cymbals and percussion elements during sling and jet hits and so on, are examples of things you simply won't get with a stock setup.

New features:

- Custom Aluminum Enclosure - Laser engraved with the the new PinWoofer logo and adjustment labels.

- Dedicated Power Board - No more splitters or need to share power; we utilize separate power rails compared to other mods.

- Dedicated Expander BoardTM for Audio - Simply plug the amp into the machine.

- Differential Pre-Amplifier Stage - works with any title.

- Gain Control - weak signal boost and fine-tuning at amplifier location.

- Line Out - connect an external monitoring device, compatible headphone station, compatible recorder, etc.

- PinWoofer Glass TamerTM (i.e. "PinWoofer GT") - Playfield glass shake reduction technology that helps to reduce the vibration of the playfield glass (patent pending).

- Auto-Muting - silent standby operation; this is especially useful for an older title with ground loops, noisy power, exhausted capacitors or other audible hum or buzz issue.

- Dedicated Wiring Harness - Unroll, plug and go.

Other Improvements:

- Integration - we worked hard to make the system as close to plug and play as possible. For the speakers, a few nuts. For the electronics, at most - one screw. We believe that no further simplifications can be made. No more crimping!

- Instructions - the electronics install in 6 easy steps and are now illustrated. Starting / recommended audio adjustments are included. We sincerely believe anyone can install our system.

- Installation:

- Electronics - installation time is estimated to be 10-20 minutes for the first time installer; some systems require no tools, some require the attachment of only one ground screw.

- Speakers - we are now pre-populating all rings and Sub Speaker InterposerTM hardware. Installation time is estimated to be 5-10 minutes per speaker.

- Combined Amplifier - Both sub and backbox amplifiers have been combined into one box.

- Use model - adjustment is quick; place the amp on the playfield glass and make your adjustments with ease. No need to lift the playfield or open the backbox.
