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.

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.
- The best approach to having seamless volume adjustment is to purchase separately, a Headphone Station which gives you volume control access at the outside of the coin door. This approach allows for both speaker and headphone volume to be easily adjustable with your new PowerWave Amplifier. Below are some suppliers:
- A second, low-cost approach is our Remote Volume Control (RVC) to provide volume adjustment just inside the coin door.
- Both the Headphone Station and RVC are not required for your new audio system, but without one of these, the backglass must be removed to access amplifier volume.
- 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
