Hauntbox Sound Module Instructions

  • The sound module can operate in a few modes depending on your wishes.
  • Normally, the sound module loops your "ambient.wav" sound file until it is triggered on either of the trigger screw terminals.
  • When triggered, it will play a single .wav file.
  • If you have multiple files, it will keep track and play the next numbered file on the next trigger.
  • Want to mix it up? Make a file called "random.txt" on the SD card
  • ALWAYS reset your sound module after inserting an SD card

The Files

  • ambient.wav: This is the optional background ambient noise/music/etc you want looped. Want silence between triggers? delete this file.
  • trigger sounds: You can have up to 30 sounds named numerically from "0.wav" to "29.wav"
  • random.txt: If you create a file named "random.txt" and put it on the SD card whenever you trigger the module a random trigger sound will be played.

Sound File Details

  • The Hauntbox sound modules requires .wav files. These can be generated from many programs including Audacity (audacity.org), iTunes (apple.com/itunes), and many other sound editing programs.

Wiring Examples

Hauntbox to Sound Module hook up

[Insert picture here]

  1. Hook up Sound Module V in to your Hauntbox output +V (sound module runs on 12V (or 24V) power).
  2. Hook up Sound Module GND to your Hauntbox output GND.
  3. Hook up Sound Module OC TRG (open collector trigger) to your Hauntbox output OC [1-6]. Note that you can hook up Sound Module LOG TRG (logic trigger) to your Hauntbox output L [1-6] instead.

Reed switch (door sensor) to Sound Module hook up

[Insert picture here]

This scenario is for triggering the Hauntbox Sound Module directly from a reed switch, without using a Hauntbox controller.

  1. Hook up Sound Module V in to (+) of 12V DC power supply.
  2. Hook up Sound Module GND to (-) of 12V DC power supply.
  3. Hook up reed switch Terminal 1 to Sound Module V in.
  4. Hook up reed switch Terminal 2 to Sound Module LOG TRG (logic trigger). Note that LOG TRG can be triggered with 5V, 12V, or 24V DC logic triggers.
