Redefining the high end of Light & Sound
technology,
at an affordable price.
Our top of the line, professional quality
machine has 100 easy to use relaxation, meditation,
sleep, learning, energizing, visualization, entertainment
and specialty sessions. And room for downloading
up to 100 more sessions.
Sessions organized in categories for easier selection.
Convenient thumbwheel adjustment of volume and intensity.
AudioStrobe* 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 AudioStrobe
decoder detects these signals and uses them to drive
the lights of a light/sound system, absolutely in sync
with the music. AudioStrobe CDs are available from Tools
for Exploration (1-800-456-9887) and other sources.
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. We have used the Sony MDR-V6, available
at around $79.00, with good results .
Frequency range: Stimulation frequency
on the Nova Pro 100 was extended downward by two octaves,
from one hertz to 1/4 hertz. There also are 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.

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
milliampers 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.
