These microSD Cards are supplied by us pre-loaded with up to four .sfx5 sound sets of your choice and compatible hardware settings files. You can simply swap in a new microSD Card for the existing one in a SFX7 sound module and have a completely different set of sounds. Each microSD Card also includes the latest firmware and PC software releases and documentation suite. The card comes in a small plastic case.

Note: These microSD cards have been carefully tested by us to meet all performance requirements of the SFX7 sound module. Be wary of other sources of cheap microSD Cards - they may not work in the SFX7 sound module.

It is highly recommended that you backup all the files on the SFX7 microSD card as soon as you receive it.

For Manual

Item Name : LOW VOLTAGE AUDIO AMPLIFIER
Item Number : LVAMP-1
Price : CAD$44.95
Voltage : 5 - 15Volts
Power Output : 13 Watts RMS at 15Volts into 8 Ohms
Power Output : 10.5 Watts RMS at 12Volts into 4 Ohms
Dimensions : 42mm x 30mm x 20mm (1.65" x 1.18" x 0.78")
Weight : ONLY 40 grams (1.4oz)!

This low voltage amplifier, with a supply voltage range of 5-15Volts, is suitable for 6V, 7.2V and 9.6V models that use our SFX6.4 sound module. It is recommended to use a
4 Ohm loudspeaker on these low voltages to maximize the power output.

Do not use these amplifiers with a 14.4V battery as, when fully charged, it will exceed the maximum 15Volt rating. If your model uses a 12V or 14.4V battery, you can use the built in amplifier on-board the SFX6.4 sound module with no external amplifier being required.

Connectors for power, loudspeaker and audio input are included.


22 AWG Hook-Up Wire for Loudspeakers and Sound Module Power

Item Name: 22AWG Hook-Up Wire
Item Number: 22AWG-WIRE
Colors: Red, Green or Black
Price: $0.50/ft (300mm)

Please adjust the quantity in your shopping cart to show the correct number of feet of wire for all colours you want. Please indicate which length of which colour in the "Notes to Seller" section of the checkout page.

 

We recommend using this 22AWG solid cored hook-up wire to connect your loudspeaker(s) and battery supply to the SFX7 sound module. Available in red/black (for battery supply or for two loudspeakers) and green (usually for a single loudspeaker). Since two 4Ohm loudspeakers must be wired in series with each other, it is a good idea to use black/red wire for this as it is important to have them wired in phase.

We recommend adding a 3 Amp in-line fuse in the positive power supply to our sound modules. This is to protect your wiring should there be accidental short circuits or a reversed battery. Note: A fuse will not act fast enough to protect the sound module if you reverse the battery, but it will save your wiring and possibly other components from smoking!

This in-line fuse holder will hold the recommended 1/4" x 1 1/4" fuses above.

Snubber Diodes for Switched Outputs

Item Name: Snubber Diode - 50V - 1A
Item Number: SND-50V-1A
Price: $1.00

Price is in Canadian $$ - See XE.Com Currency Converter

 

LED flasher and switched outputs on our SFX6.4 sound modules are designed to switch LEDs or lamps, not inductive loads. If you wish to switch any inductive load such as a relay, small motor, solenoid etc., you MUST connect a "snubber" device across the load to prevent reverse inductive kickback voltages from damaging the sound module.

These fast acting Schottky diodes are rated for a reverse voltage of 50V so are able to handle any inductive kickback likely to be generated from loads that our modules can switch. Connect them in reverse across the load so that in normal operation they do not conduct, but when the current is shut off, they conduct the inductive kickback and so prevent it from entering the sound module.

Failure to protect a sound module by not using these diodes VOIDS the sound module warranty.


Male - Male Servo Cable

Item Name : Male-Male servo cable - 300mm (12in) long
Item Number : Male-Male servo cable - 300mm

This male-male servo cable with Futaba style connectors on each end is 300mm long and uses 24AWG stranded wire. It is used to connect R/C receiver throttle and sound select outputs to our SFX6.4 sound module. The SFX6.4 sound module includes two of these cables - one for a Throttle input and one for a Sound Select Input. This is the usual configuration.

If you want to use both throttle or both sound select inputs you will need one of these cables for each additional input.

Item Number : Mini-B USB cable 1m
Price : CAD$11.99
Length : 1 metre

 

The SFX6.4 sound module has a mini-B USB connector which is the same type found on many digital still and video cameras. This high quality USB cable is offered for those users who do not already have such a cable. This is an industry standard USB cable with a male mini-B connector on one end and a male type A USB connector on the other.

Note: This is not a cheap dollar store variety of cable. This is a top quality product from a major cable assembly manufacturer.
