So how do I make these sound sensitive cathodes work??

koroush · Sep 18, 2009

Well guys... I just bought some cathode lights for my PC and to my surprise they came with "Sound control module"s

It is the blue thing: Which is pretty much just a box with a speaker hole in it.... Or is it a Mic?

I think it is a mic.

Here is the product..

Anyhelp guys? I have no idea how to make them flash when I play music..

Are you sure it is a sound activated one? The one in the link looks like a standard CCFL. You need an add on piece to make it sound sensative. That blue box is normally just the inverter.

I have that same kit. It's not sound activated. You use the switch on that PCI bracket to turn the cathodes on or off.

Compatible with Sound control module

Yes, but the blue box isn't the sound control module is what people are saying I think.

Those are ventilation holes. It is an inverter, basically a type of power supply. I've added a picture of the insides of the inverter. As you can see the main capacitor of this one burst (in a strange manner) maybe due to heat.

So how do I make these sound sensitive cathodes work??
