Important Speaker Light Kit Information:
PixlWav Stern OEM Expression Speaker Light Upgrade Kit Option:
-
-
- Stern ships some newer titles with an OEM Speaker Light Package (The Walking Dead Remastered LE, Star Wars Fall of the Empire LE, etc.).
- The OEM offering is not visually appealing to many because it produces sparse illumination and the light is directed towards the speaker opening(s).
- Select this option if you really want your Stern OEM Speaker Lights to pop. This kit doubles the LED count from 20 to 40 per side and alternates inside and outside facing LEDs that more fully illuminate the speaker grille area.
- If your machine does not have Stern OEM Speaker Lights installed, this kit will not work.
- For more information about this option please review the following link: PixlWav Spike-3 Expression Speaker Light Upgrade Kit

PixlWav Dynamic Controller Backbox Speaker Lights Option:
-
-
- This light kit will function on any Spike-3 Title, and it delivers a beautiful light show using a controller with pre-programmed colors and patterns.

Notes:
-
-
- Stern has changed the Spike-3 line level audio output behavior compared to Spike-2 as follows:
- The Amplifier volume now remains constant even when changing the game volume.
- To overcome this, we offer a Remote Volume Control (RVC) to provide volume adjustment just inside the coin door.
- The RVC is not required, but without it, the backglass must be removed to access amplifier volume.
- Should Spike-3 behavior revert to Spike-2 behavior in the future, the remote volume control can continue to be used or removed.
- Plugging headphones may not cut the audio signal to the amplifier so you may need to change the volume manually, either with the RVC or with the amplifier.
- Optionally add a Spike-3 RVC to your cart now or purchase it stand-alone later should the need arise. More information: Spike-3 Remote Volume Control
- The kit is comprehensive and ships with any required Amplifier Mounting Bracket / Docking solution to ensure a permanent, secure fit
- All necessary hardware is included
- Playfield Glass Shake Reduction Tape is included
- You'll receive exactly what you need for an epic audio upgrade, and optional best in class speaker lights!
- Stern has changed the Spike-3 line level audio output behavior compared to Spike-2 as follows:
-
* Average maximum amplifier power in application can be approximated by taking the product of the MAX power rating per channel and 1/(√2*1.5).
