ThinkTank Blaster IV
EL- Mod

Function

ThinkTank Blaster is a fullly configurable, polyphone sound module.

Requirements

A ThinkTank Control Unit (ThinkTank TankModule ECO, ThinkTank TankModule PRO)

Scope of delivery

• Circuit board
• Volume controller
• Cable for speaker connection
• microSD-card with multiple sample sets

Recommended accessories

microSD USB card reader to set up the active sample set on a PC.

Remarks

This module offers multiple unique features. The system outstands with its openness. All sound data are saved unencrypted as wav-files on a standard microSD-card. Therefore every PC owner can change and extend them. The SD-card is delivered with a set of around 25 different sample sets for different vehicle types and our sample library is constantly growing.
The currently active sample set is determined by the user by starting a small setup programme for Windows(tm) PCs.

Numerous events which can occur in a tank are represented and up to five sounds can be played at the same time (polyphony).
It is possible to define and play several user-defined sounds like battle sounds, battle cries or songs.
Any 8 Ohm speaker may be connected directly to the board. No external amplifiers are necessary. We recommend for example the Visaton^® FRS7-8 (great dynamic range and small dimensions) or the Visaton^® FRS8-8 (better bass sound but quieter and larger). The chassis should be in a as large as possible, closed and air tight box which is coated with accoustic insulating material.
