Developed especially for the Electro Simulation
Connoisseur the ElectraStim SensaVox has stacks of features and heaps of finely
controllable power!
This unit has two independantly controllable outputs allowing you to use two
bi-polar accessories at the same time or you can share with your partner.

Multi-Turn Digital Power Control
The output intensity of each channel is controllable from level ‘0’ to ‘99’
with positive ‘click’ single step increments. Utilising digital encoder
technology means that over four full rotations are required to increase the
intensity to the maximum level, ensuring a smooth comfortable climb - although
few, if any, can go all the way! All other similar products go from zero to
maximum intensity in a mere three quarter rotation, leaving very little margin
for adjustment error. The output intensity of the Em140 is therefore over 5
times more controllable than conventional methods.
Having two channels also
means you can use two bi-polar accessories at the same time - all on your own or
share with your partner!
"Truly Isolated" Stimulation Outputs
The stimulation outputs on the ElectraStim SensaVox are "Truly Isolated".
Many other dual channel stimulators pulse both output channels simultaneously.
The problem with this is that if the electrode contact and hence stimulating
current varies due to an electrode being moved, whether intentional or not, an
undesirable current surge occurs in the other channel! The SensaVox pulses its
output channels alternately and hence the output intensity of each channel is
completely independant of the other - an absolute must, especially if two are
sharing.
The "Modify" control
The Modify control has 72 positive ‘click’ positions (3 full rotations)
allowing each of the built-in programs to be varied in some way, giving a much
broader range of sensations. The way in which sensations are modified depends on
the particular program selected.
When the Modify control has reached its
minimum or maximum value the displays will flicker to indicate that no further
modification is being made.
Modify is used to control the sensitivity when
using audio features.
Boost Feature
For a fast and hard intensity increase you don’t have to turn the intensity
control knob you can simply hit the ‘Boost’ button. Be warned - this increases
the intensity level by 25% on both channels and may come in as a kick! When the
button is released the intensity level will return to the original settings.
Economy Power Saving Feature
When using the external supply the LED displays will be at full brightness
and constantly illuminated. When running on batteries the displays will be
slightly dimmer and will automatically extinguish 15 seconds after the last
control adjustment was made so as to prolong battery life. The red Effect LEDs
will still glow when in ‘Economy Mode’ to give user feedback and as soon as any
adjustment is made to any of the controls the displays will automatically come
on again. To prevent Economy mode from activating press the Boost button whilst
switching the unit on. Preventing ‘Economy Mode’ will eat your batteries faster!
Stimulation Programs
Due to embedded microprocessor technology the Em140 has stimulation
programmes stored within its memory. You have full control over stimulation
intensity and are easily able to modify each of the programmed effects by simply
turning the 'Modify' multi-turn control.
The program selection buttons
allow you to choose any one of the stimulation programs. Pressing either of the
buttons will automatically reduce the output intensity to zero in preparation
for a new program to start.
The program references can be found on
the rear label as follows:
- 1. Smooth
- 2. Caress
- 3. Swinger
- 4. Burst
- 5. Alternate
- 6. Stepper
- 7. Shooter
- 8. Auto Climb
- 9. Climax
SensaVox Audio Input Features
The Em140 allows the use of sound to ‘modulate’ or vary the stimulation
parameters. This can be done via a microphone or line-in cable. The intensity
displays will automatically reduce to zero when either of the audio modes are
invoked and the Program display will change. To return to the built-in programs
simply remove the audio connector and you will be reverted to the last selected
program. Always begin audio modes with a low intensity setting, when the sound
comes the stimulation will strengthen!
The SensaVox feature will
automatically detect when the microphone or line cable are connected and switch
the program display to either 'Mic' or 'Line' Program Mode. When in Audio mode
you can select one of three different operating modes as follows:
- 1. Channel 1 Modulate
- 2. Channel 2 Modulate
- 3. Channel 1 and 2 Modulate
Microphone Input
When the microphone is plugged in to the ‘MIC’
socket the Em140 will automatically go into ‘Microphone’ mode and the Program
Display will show ‘A1’. This mode allows speech or music to vary the level of
stimulation. The Modify control sets the amount by which the sound input will
vary the level of stimulation i.e. when set to the minimum value (fully
anti-clockwise) sound will have no effect on the stimulation level. When set to
a medium value sound will have a nominal effect on the stimulation level etc.
The higher the input volume the greater the effect it will have on the
stimulation levels!
The microphone can either be plugged directly into
the Em140 MIC socket or it can be extended with the line-in cable by utilising
the female-to-female adapter.
The microphone sensitivity is set such that
un-wanted peripheral sound is not detected and therefore the intended sound
source should be close to the microphone. Hold the microphone to your lips if
using speech and you should notice the relevant "Channel Effect" LED brightness
changing in sympathy with the detected sound input.
To increase the
microphone sensitivity the foam cover may be removed.
Line Input
When the line in cable is plugged into the ‘LINE’ socket
the display will automatically show ‘L1’. This mode allows special sound effects
or music to vary the level of stimulation. The Modify control sets the amount by
which the line input will vary the level of stimulation i.e. when set to the
minimum value (fully anti-clockwise) sound will have no effect on the
stimulation level. When set to a medium value sound will have a nominal effect
on the stimulation level etc.
To utilise this feature you will need to
connect the LINE cable to the 3.5mm headphone socket on a stereo system. If your
stereo system has the ¼” jack socket you will need an adapter to convert the
format. Before connecting the cable you will need to play a sound effect from
the supplied CDROM or choose a track from your own collection that would make
for interesting stimulation. Adjust the volume level to a reasonably low setting
in order to start off with gentle variations, you can increase the volume and
use the Modify control to up the experience when you’re comfortable with how it
works and what it feels like.
Safety Features
Utilising digital technology allows us to include some very useful safety
features. For instance when you switch the ElectraStim Em140 on, all power
levels will automatically be set to zero regardless of where they were when it
was switched off. Similarly when a different program is selected the stimulation
intensity levels on both channels are automatically reduced to zero. The output
intensity is also reduced to zero when the either of the SensaVox audio modes
are invoked. On programs where stimulation alternates between channel 1 and
channel 2 it is only possible to increase the intensity of a chosen channel when
its output is active. This avoids unpleasant surprises when the channel becomes
active again. The active channel will be apparent by the "Channel Effect" LED
being illuminated. The intensity can be reduced whether the channel is active or
not.
When the rate is increased to over 1 cycle per second using the Modify
control the intensity levels can be increased whether the output is active or
not.
Low Battery Warning
When the battery becomes discharged and requires replacing the Program Select
display will intermittently show ‘Lo’. If the battery becomes heavily discharged
the Em140 will automatically shut down if in use or will not switch on.
Replacement battery type is 9V E-block/PP3, 6F22/006P/6LR61/6AM6/MN1604. Use a
good quality Alkaline battery for optimal life and performance. Re-chargeable
batteries are a great idea, one in use, one on charge and incredibly cheap long
term.
