Title: Best sound choice Post by: Malik Thanewulf on March 18, 2018, 06:50:07 AM Is the premium sound really that much better than thw Lite? I'm looking ro get another saber (with sound ) and i can't hear the difference between them. What do you all think?

Sent from my XT1650 using Tapatalk Agreed. I have both a Lite and a Premium, and when the Premium is on default they sound virtually identical. But using the power button on the V4 you can toggle between several pre-set sounds, customize them on the computer as you see fit, and honestly the second-most-used sound font on my V4 is 'mute'. :-) So if you can swing it the extra flexibility is worth it. But as I said, I have Lite cards because, well, $$$ :) Title: Re: Best sound choice Post by: MavRick on March 18, 2018, 05:37:10 PM I have both and I can't tell the difference in the sound. That being said the light sound card does seem to have a slight flicker to the blade.
The battery set up is the biggest difference in them. The light sound have regular AAA batteries ( which can add up quickly $$) and the premium sound has lit-ion rechargeables which are great. Now I have found that if you buy a good set of Rayovac, Energizer or Duracell rechargeable batteries they work well. The key is to look at the mah numbers on them. For example; the 800 mah one have a longer run time than the 500 mah but I have both and they both work just fine. This helps save money on buying regular AAA's. Hope this helps. MTFBWY!

Functionally I’d go for premium so you can customize the sounds or mute it (which is very handy) but if you don’t care for that then go for LITE
Title: Re: Best sound choice Post by: Therion Jinn on March 18, 2018, 07:24:05 PM Sound quality wise, I've found little to no difference between the Lite and V4 soundboards.
As mentioned, the biggest advantage to the V4 board is customization/selection of fonts Title: Re: Best sound choice Post by: Landen Se-Sentien on March 18, 2018, 09:55:57 PM If it's in your budget, I always say to go with v4 sound with a li-ion and buckpuck setup, for the reasons already mentioned. The mute option is so nice, plus you can deactivate sound fonts you don't want. I have an emerald saber that I often switch between LS and DS colors. I've deactivated all the ones I don't use and use the default Sith, mute, a Kylo Ren, and a Luke ROTJ. It makes life so much easier.
