PRO Stormtrooper / Bounty Hunter Voice Amp,
2005 Hyperdyne Labs
4
Mic header pins for electret mic with no external battery power
Turning on the unit:
When you switch on your amp (using the onboard power switch), the onboard LED will blink. If the LED blinks
once, this tells the user that the board is using the “default” settings described below. If the LED blinks twice, this
tells the user that the board is using the settings that were last modified by you. The below table summarizes this
operation:
On powerup, LED blinks:
Meaning:
Once
Board is using default settings:
VOX on threshold = 2
VOX off threshold = 2
VOX auto timeout = 2.5 sec
Static sound effects = on
Modulated bounty hunter mode = off
PTT mode = off
Twice
Board is using last user settings
Basic operation:
Once the board has booted up, the mic by default is “closed”. This means the mic is electronically disconnected
from the speaker. This feature rids of any feedback that you would normally hear when the volume is up too loud or
if the mic were constantly “open”.
VOX thresholds (opening and closing the mic):
When you have broken squelch by talking into the mic (the VOX on threshold), the mic will electronically “open”
and send your modified voice to the speaker for you to hear. Once you stop talking and have gone below squelch
(the VOX off threshold), the unit will close the mic and then play out one of many random click/static sound effects.
When you have broken squelch, the onboard LED will also light while you are talking. The LED extinguishes once
you are done talking or the VOX timeout has expired.
