Sessions organized in categories for easier selection. Convenient thumbwheel adjustment of volume and intensity.
AudioStrobe* compatible, PhaseErase* feature and much more.
zen master features:
Built-in sessions:
Includes 64 sessions.
How it works:
Sessions are organized in 11 categories: relax, special, meditate, sleep, learn, energize, visualize, entertain, breath pacing, improv and downloaded. Sessions are selected by selecting a category then a session within the category (so you don't have to wade through all sessions every time). In any category, the selection process proceeds through the built-in sessions in that category.
New glasses drive circuit provides a separate intensity control of the two sides, allowing breath pacing, sine wave stimulation and different left/right levels. Independent control of left and right light intensity-used in hemispheric specialization and control of bi-color glasses (one color can be controlled separately from the other). A choice of sine wave control of the lights (a pleasant gradual ramping or decrease of the lights, very soothing to the eyes), square wave or PhaseErase control (lights flashing in different intervals, continually changing pulse timing). The InerPulse glasses polarity is "CG" (for common ground).
New Options Menu choices:
The Options menu allows for many settings. One of these choices also includes the glasses left an right side stimulation intensity control. Not available until now on any light and sound stimulation device this feature is set to give you a choice of left and right hemisphere stimulation in different intensity (0-100) and a chance to arrange this to your own preferences.
New Breath pacing:
You adjust the zen master to your breathing rate and with every breath, when you inhale, the lights will increase in intensity, the sound will increase in volume and both will decrease when you exhale. A pleasant window of opportunity to practice breath control. Great for those that do not like flickering lights.
Download capability room for 25 downloaded sessions (stored in u01-u25).
How it works:
Downloaded sessions are stored in the download category at download time, a single download can be 1 to 25 sessions.
Session run time:
A session may be run at 1/2 to 2 (in steps of 1/4) times its designed time and is adjustable. The 3 digit display can display up to 4 hours of run time; however, downloaded sessions may be designed to run much longer than this.
Pitch:
The zen master pitch range is 16Hz to 960Hz, 6 octaves of the just scale, 7 notes/octave. Also, the pitch 2 relative to pitch 1 mode covers P1 minus 1 to 15 hertz, as well as the P1 plus 1 to 15 hertz. The low frequencies have a very powerful effect with the standard headphones, for even stronger effects you can use more expensive headphones.
Frequency range:
Stimulation frequency on the zen master ranges from 1/4 hertz to 42 hertz. Frequencies go in steps of 1/4 hertz through 2 hertz, 1/2 hertz through 10 hertz, 1 hertz through 20 hertz and 2 hertz through 42 hertz. The Schumann resonance at 7.8 hertz is also included.
Duty cycle, Phase:
Duty cycle control from 1/8 to 7/8 in steps of 1/8 is provided. There are six selectable phasing relationships between the four stimulation channels (two eyes, two ears) in the pulsed tones. Light phase is also controllable in the binaural beat modes.
Tone selection:
There are 8 sound tones, utilizing the two frequencies F1 and F2 and pitches P1 and P2.
PFr, pulsed frequency. The selected pitch P1 is pulsed at the selected frequency F1. The lights also blink at the F1 rate.
PSu, pulsed surf. A surf sound and the lights are pulsed at frequency F1.
PCh, a pulsed chord with controllable chord separation from a minor third to a full octave (a two note chord and the lights are pulsed at the selected frequency).
bb, binaural beats sends different pitches to two ears (pitch P1 to the left ear, Pitch P1 plus frequency F1 to the right ear) and the sound source direction detection mechanism in your auditory system picks up the difference frequency F1, while the lights blink at the F1 rate.
bbS, binaural beats with surf, a soothing surf sound is the background for binaural beats. The lights blink at the F1 rate.
dbb, in dual binaural beats there are four tone generators running at once, the left ear receives pitches P1 and P2 mixed together, the right ear receives pitch (P1+F1) mixed with pitch (P2+F2). This gives two binaural beat ranges at the same time, and provides for many beat possibilities.
dSb, dual monaural beats, monaural beats occur when two closely spaced pitches are mixed in the same ear, beats are heard at the difference of the pitches. The dSb tone, sends P1 and P1+F1 to the left ear (creating monaural beats at F1) and P2 and P2+F2 to the right ear (creating monaural beats at F2). in dSb, the left eye lights blink at the F1 rate, the right eye at the F2 rate, for a true dual stimulation frequency experience.
New:
brP, breath pacing, available only in breath pacing sessions.
System control choices:
The zen master synthesized stimulation can be controlled by a selected built-in session or downloaded session, manually from the keyboard.
New: Options Menu choices: The Options menu allows for many settings. One of these choices also includes the glasses left an right side stimulation intensity control. Not available until now on any light and sound stimulation device this feature is set to give you a choice of left and right hemisphere stimulation in different intensity (0-100) and a chance to arrange this to your own preferences.
Ramps (gradual changes in frequency and pitch -- yes, we ramp pitch) can now be commanded in the manual mode. Specify a ramp time (up to 10 minutes), specify the target frequencies and pitches (two of each in the dual binaural beat and dual monaural beat tones), and command the ramp to start. The frequency and pitch display follows the ramp to three digit accuracy or to 1/8 hertz as it progresses.
Gentle on/gentle off, sessions start with a gradual volume and intensity ramp up to selected levels, and end with a gentle ramp down to off.
Battery saving Automatic shutdown is provided.
Personal Preference Recording capability.
Remaining Session time display.
Session pause feature.
Sine wave sound with pitch ramping.
Programming capability, full user programming capability from a PC computer.
Thumbwheel controls, the system provides convenient thumbwheel potentiometer control of sound volume and light intensity.
AudioStrobe capable:
Signals are recorded on a music CD at a high, inaudible frequency, to control the lights in a light/sound system. An AudioStrobe decoder detects these signals and uses them to drive the lights of a light/sound system, absolutely in sync with the music. Just connect your CD player to the external input of the zen master, and play the CD, with your headphones and glasses connected to the zen master normally, for an amazing AudioStrobe experience.
What you get: System unit, 1 pair of stimulation glasses, 1 pair of Pro headphones, 4 AA batteries, computer cable, stereo cord, manual, 1 year warranty.
110 AC adapter Note: The zen master will also run on a 110 AC Adapter (optional), it uses 6V 300ma with positive in the center.

Accessories:
Your light and sound system comes complete. Lightframes are included.
The lightframes included with your mind machine are: Red LED Lightframes (CG Polarity).
For those of you who would enjoy adding variety to your mind machine experience, we suggest the following accessories to compliment your zen master system. Please refer to our "Accessories" section for a complete description of each item and for ordering. {When placing an order for extra lightframes, please specify which light and sound system you will be using to ensure we know which polarity - Common Ground or Common Power - lightframe(s) to send}.
"Also, you can transform your zen master system into a 2 - user system by adding two (2) stereo "Y" splitters (available for around $5 each at any electronics store) and connecting each to the lightframe port and audio port of your light and sound system. Then simply connect the two lightframes and two headphones to the respective "Y" end of each splitter. This is a cost-effective way for two people to simultaneously experience the same light and sound session and is an excellent method for being on the same 'wavelength', i.e., being in the same state of mind." - Michael Landgraf / Publisher, AVS Journal

"A light and sound machine is a brainwave entrainment tool. The method by which this
entrainment occurs is known as the Frequency Following Response (FFR). Through
the use of audio (headphones) & visual (eye frames with LEDs) stimulation,
listeners are gently guided into specific brainwave states. Each audio beat and
pulse is a specific frequency. Our minds "think" in terms of frequency.
Brainwaves change frequencies based on neural activity within the brain, be it
by hearing, touch, smell, vision and/or taste. These senses respond to activity
from the environment and transmits that information to the brain via electrical
signals. Hearing + vision are considered the favorable senses for affecting
brainwaves safely. By presenting these beats & pulses to the brain, within a few
minutes, the brain begins to mimic or follow the same frequencies as the stimuli
(the beats and pulses). This process is referred to as entrainment. In essence,
these instruments speak to the
