zollernz Posted December 14, 2016 Report Share Posted December 14, 2016 Thanks for posting up those sample audio files Simon, I recently purchased a G4+ knock block and wasn't sure if what I was hearing was indeed knock. Now I know it isn't (I shudder when hearing the "tink, tink tink" in sample #2) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gts_215i Posted February 4, 2017 Report Share Posted February 4, 2017 (edited) What is the difference between the old knock block and the new G4+ knock block ?I have been unable to find any instruction manuals for either product or other information (Other than basic specs for the new model) on your website !Is the relevant information available or is it combined with the ECU manuals & software. ?

Simon Posted February 7, 2017 Report Share Posted February 7, 2017 The main one is the packaging and some of the feature set.The current model is just for driving headphones, where as the older model was able to interface with our ECUs.Attached is the old knock block manual.The current model is a simple connect turn on and go no setting at all.

The knockblock only has a 3 pole (stereo) connector, it wont work well or at all with a 4 pole earbud/microphone set. Look for a basic cheap set without a microphone. Sorry I just found this info is not in the quickstart guide so I will get that fixed. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Aah that’s what i tought would be the problem, i’ve thought on buying the earpods without the mic but i wasn’t shure. Thank you for the confirmation! Altough the headphone works nice but sometimes cars are to loud and you have to be realy focused to hear it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mapper Posted January 2, 2018 Report Share Posted January 2, 2018 I found that earbuds can make a big difference. I used a cheap set and recently bought a mid priced sennheiser set. They are known for a very clear audio and less bass which is ideal for knock detection. I highly recomend Sennheiser for knock detection.

mapper Posted January 2, 2018 Report Share Posted January 2, 2018 I have these. Confortable to wear with a big nois buster. https://de-de.sennheiser.com/in-ear-kopfhoerer-cx-3-00 But think anything other from sennheiser at this or higher price range work well. Besides I would like to try out active noise canceling in ear buds. But the are just to expensiv just for testing. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Blackbandt Posted September 14 Report Share Posted September 14 Would the Knock Block also work with the g4x? Or what other alternative would there be for a reasonable price? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Works with mine g4x, there is no interface to laptop/ software from knockblock g4+ rather just audio jack to input into laptop Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
