Re: Audio files designed with 2B in mind
Thank you admin,
Thus, with the exception of internal routines, the 2B transforms a pure (sinusoidal) signal to send it to the electrodes in the form of a biphasic AC signal in a frequency range of ± 50 to ± 5 kHz. Is it correct ?
At the same time, I understand that the ET-312 is doing the same thing "but not in the same way" with a maximum of ± 330 Hz ...
Do you think this difference in frequency range between the two devices is purely a technical choice or is it due to a difference in legislation between the two countries?
Thank you for your advice and excuse my technical curiosity ...

Re: Audio files designed with 2B in mind
Nope, it more complex than that and its not something we actually publish as we never designed the 2B to work with pure tones.
There is no legislation covering frequencies used, just research into effective frequencies and information regarding basic product safety and energy transfer. (There is legislation for TENS units which we do use although our boxes are not classed as TENS units, but that more a safety area rather than an effectiveness issue.)At the same time, I understand that the ET-312 is doing the same thing "but not in the same way" with a maximum of ± 330 Hz ...

Re: Audio files designed with 2B in mind
I gather the 2B was designed to work with music as the audio input to the Stereo routine. Has there ever been any move to design a new Stereo routine that will be more specifically designed to handle pure tones, or is that not technically feasible for some reason?

Not with the current incantation of the 2B hardware. However there are plans afoot.....

Re: Audio files designed with 2B in mind
This sounds interesting. It would help unleash more of the potential of all those audio files out there in the public domain. I'll just have to be patient and keep an eye open...

If anyone needs a playground for making their own sound files, these are great ressources

Re: Audio files designed with 2B in mind
quick question on audio files - for increasing power output, is there an alternative to turning the dials on the 2B ?
i know the volume on output device should be about 65%, so can't increase that.
tried playing with levels in a file, but that didn't seem to work
Can't use the Digital Link Protocol (I think) as the socket is used already for the audio input
any ideas? I can't be the only one not wanting to twiddle knobs when using audio files

Re: Audio files designed with 2B in mind
comeagain> Let's get this right. You want more power in Stereo mode, is that correct?
Or are you looking for something to automatically increase the power over a period of time?

Hi!
Playing with the levels in the audio file should do the trick pretty well. However, you have to try around a little bit to see what works best for you. I still have trouble myself to get the files somewhat right, since the device's response does seem non-linear (or at least the stimulation it creates).

Re: Audio files designed with 2B in mind
I was wanting some way to ramp the power over time.
Anyhow with all this time on my hands I decided to write a little program to do this, it will load audio files and play at volumes / durations I specify, a bit like the milanova.com teases
