Personal Comments:
The Proteus is the best mid - range light and sound mind machine in it's class. Period. Just look at all the features it has, and everything it comes with. Then compare these features with the high - end light and sound machines. Quite similar...but at a far more reasonable price. No wonder I have never received a Proteus return. It has everything you will ever need in a mind machine, and more! If you cannot come to a decision as to which light and sound unit is best for your specific needs, then choose the Proteus - you will be glad you did!
What the Manufacturer says:
The PROTEUS™ is a revolutionary new light and sound product that combines our innovative BiColor™ stimulation technology-another MindPlace first. Developed with the serious experimenter in mind, Proteus includes a host of powerful programming capabilities.
Features include:
· Realtime BiColor™ output. Proteus includes two independent color channels, each of which has its own brightness and pulse rate. This means that Proteus sessions can shift smoothly between up to 4,096 colors in real time, creating extraordinary visuals and mapping colors more precisely to states of consciousness. For example, lower frequencies can be set to soothing green, while higher, energizing frequencies are the appropriate red; the “peak performance” color amber lies in between.
· Totally programmable. We’ve developed a simple yet powerful Windows 98+ hosted programming tool, available free of charge.
· Totally upgradeable. Proteus uses advanced Flash memory for both session and operating system data. This means that you can not only download new session groups into the system, but also that the entire operating system can be upgraded. Recent upgrades have added include such advanced features as wavetable crossfading; dual binaural beats; BioConnect™ real-time biofeedback control, and more.
· Wavetable audio. PROTEUS includes stereo audio digital to analog converters, enabling production of binaural beats and other waveforms. You can store up to four different waveforms in Proteus, and we include an audio waveform creation tool with the bundled software.
· Enhanced AudioStrobe™. We’ve fine-tuned our AudioStrobe decoder circuitry, providing a much crisper, more intense experience.
· 199 program capacity. Proteus ships with expanded versions of the best programs taken from our earlier products (especially Orion and MindLab). A total of fifty programs are preloaded into Proteus when you receive it. Plus, there is plenty of space remaining for you download your own creations-about 2,000 segments altogether in two separate banks.
· Free Proteus Editor software. Unlike other manufacturers, we don’t charge for our software-you can just download the latest version of Proteus Editor from the Proteus support site. Choose from a host of programmable features, including:
· Single or dual binaural beats
· Create and download your own audio wavetables
· Synchronize the two color channels or run them at completely different frequencies
· Control the lights and sound in real time using our ThoughtStream biofeedback system
· Create “random” programs within constraints you choose (for example, frequencies constrained to 9-12 hz and segment lengths of 1 to 3 seconds).
· Frequencies range from 0.2 to 50.0 hz-best in the industry
· Plus much more.
If you're looking for an advanced light and sound system but don’t want to pay $349 for a heavy metal case, chances are the Proteus will do most everything you want it to.
Your PROTEUS package includes:
· Attractive, compact Proteus Control Console
· Superbright Ruby/Emerald Liteframes
· Stereo headphones and audio patchcord
· Concise Manual
· Audiostrobe sampler CD

For all other destinations, we ship via the U.S. Postal Service. Your system will be shipped either Global Priority Mail or Global Express, depending upon country of destination. Due to possible custom's delays, please allow 3 - 4 weeks for delivery, although arrival time is usually much faster.
International orders (outside the United States and Canada) are completed through Paypal. You will find using Paypal a safe and effective method for making long-distance financial transactions. And becoming a verified Paypal member is simple. Upon receiving your order, we will email you a Paypal invoice covering the cost of both your Proteus and applicable shipping charges. The cost for shipping your Proteus is $35. This figure is based on package weight and size. Once Paypal payment is received, your order will be shipped promptly.
Warranty & Returns: Systems are thoroughly tested prior to shipment. All systems come with a one year manufacturer's warranty on parts and labor.

Please call or email before making any returns for a "Return Authorization" number. Refunds are subject to a 20% restocking fee.
Accessories:
Your light and sound system comes complete. Lightframes are included.
The lightframes included with your mind machine are: Red / Green LED Lightframes (CP Polarity).
For those of you who would enjoy adding variety to your mind machine experience, we suggest the following accessories to compliment your Proteus 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 Proteus 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
