Tangles’ Pin Parts – PIN2SUB Isolated universal (TPP-1035)

The Tangles TPP-1035 Pin 2 Sub Universal Isolated adapter is a safe and convenient way to tap the speaker output from your pinball machine and pass it to an active sub-woofer.

ISOLATED CONNECTION

The Tangles adapter uses a fully isolated circuit design. This isolation ensures no electrical connection is made between your pinball machine and the external active sub-woofer.

This is of vital importance not only in reducing audio noise and hum, but to ensure that any fault, imbalance or differences in mains power in the external speaker cannot jeopardise your precious pinball electronics.

Isolation between devices is especially important with modern systems employing switch-mode power supplies.

UNIVERSAL COMPATIBILITY

The TPP-1035 is universally compatible with pinball machines that have a cabinet speaker.

By nature of the supplied alligator clips and the built in isolation transformer, the Pin2Sub adapter can safely connect an active external sub-woofer to

Data-East, Williams, Bally, Stern or Gottlieb machines.
