The DAVID Premier Light Therapy and CES Sound Machine.
One the most advanced brain-machine available, the Premier features a graphic display that shows session information and all technical parameters, such as RBG colors, voltage, amperage, pulse width, etc. The LED display menu and gives information about the session during a session – you can set it up in advanced settings.
The Premier incorporates advanced dual-hemisphere AVE plus randomized AVE, a form of mild AVS, called RAVE. AVE, AVS, and RAVE span the frequency band from ganzfeld to gamma. The Spectrum eye set that comes with the Premier, can also be used directly from a USB port on the computer. The Spectrum eye set supports nearly 200,000 colors and may be calibrated to exactly match your computer or light-therapy screens for color-therapy. The Premier also provides Cranio-Electro Stimulation (CES).
HEART RATE VARIABILITY (HRV):
For the first time ever, a system adds meditative breathing along with an audio-visual entrainment (AVE) session. Long, graceful breathing cycles have been used as part of meditation.
This technique has been analyzed and shown to settle stressed autonomic nervous system. Both sympathetic (flight-or-fight) activity and para-sympathetic (the brain’s efforts to compensate) activity settle down dramatically using HRV techniques. The heart speeds up with every breath in and slows down with every breath out with this swing in heart rate is HRV. A typical heart beat swing is in the order of about 15 beats per minute (bpm).
When stressed, the heart typically clamps to sometimes as low as five bpm HRV at times intermixed with sharp spikes in heart rate. This is all abnormal activity and is rough on the heart. The HRV technique used clinically is based on a 10 second breathing cycle (six breaths/minute, by inhaling slowly for five seconds and exhaling slowly for five seconds in an easy, relaxed breath).
More About Brainwave Entrainment
Using flashing lights and pulsing tones, we can gently and safely guide the brain into various brainwave states.
Brainwave patterns are grouped in four wave patterns: Beta, Alpha, Theta and Delta. Each of these brainwave patterns is associated with various states of mind.
- Beta Waves are quick, low amplitude waves of 14 to 40 times per second (Hz). Beta patterns are generated naturally when in an awake, focused and alert state of consciousness.
- Alpha Waves range between 8 and 13 Hz and occur during rest (eg. when the eyes are closed), intellectual relaxation, deep relaxation or meditation. Alpha brainwave rhythms produce: peaceful feelings, warm hands and feet, a sense of well-being, improved sleep, improved academic performance, increased productivity in the workplace, reduced anxiety and improved immune functioning.
- Alpha/Theta Border are the Schumann Resonance and the State Five Meditation sessions. At the Alpha/Theta border (7 to 8 Hz), exceptional insights and personal transforming experiences can occur.
- Theta Waves are between 4 and 8 Hz and are commonly referred to as the dream or “twilight” state. Theta is associated with hypnogogic states, REM and dreaming. Memory development is enhanced in this state. In the Theta brainwave state, memory is improved (particularly long term memory), and access to unconscious material, reveries, free association, sudden insight and creative ideas is increased.
- Delta Waves are observed when in a sleeping state. As we fall asleep the dominant natural brainwave becomes Delta. Delta waves are the slowest of brainwaves spanning from 1 to 4 Hz in frequency. There is growing evidence that individuals may maintain a slightly conscious state while in Delta.
About CES
Adding a third stimulation with the David Premier, the CES benefit sends tiny electrical impulses to the brain through a stimulation cable attached to the earlobe. CES has been shown to increase serotonin and endorphins. CES is an effective non-drug approach to relieve discomfort, assist with sleeping and calming of the mind. Although individual levels of improvement may vary, medical research reveals dramatic improvements in mental functioning including:
- Deep Relaxation
- Improved Memory
- Mental Clarity
- Mood Elevation
- Improved Learning
- Sound Sleep
- Increased Concentration
- Increased Vitality
- Reduction of Psychosomatic Conditions
- Assisting Substance Abuse Recovery Cranio-Electro Stimulation (CES) was developed in the late 1940s as a treatment for insomnia and has since been used by millions of people all over the world. Most research over the past 30 years has shown that CES helps to reduce anxiety and works towards improving cognition in recovering drug addicts and alcoholics. Pete Townsend, formerly of the band “The Who”, found CES was the most effective treatment for his drug addiction recovery. Research demonstrates that CES produces a mild stimulation in the hypothalamic area of the brain, resulting in balancing neurotransmitter activity (in particular Beta Endorphin and Norepinephrine). The effects achieved are similar to that of a “jogger’s high”.

The David Delight Pro - Light Therapy and CES Sound Machine provides a unique fusion of audio-visual entrainment (also known as brainwave entrainment) and cranial-electro stimulation (CES) with sophistication and simplicity.
It’s no wonder that more and more people are turning to cranial electrotherapy stimulation devices with the results that folks are seeing. The sessions have been thoroughly tested and are designed based on most current research findings to ensure you the most effective results.
The sessions on the Delight Pro are supported by research studies which include Seasonal Affective Disorder, stress reduction, insomnia, improved mood, mental sharpness and balance (reduced risk of falling) in seniors, and reduced worry plus improvements in concentration and memory among college students. The Delight Pro sessions include a proprietary randomization process, which helps encourage dissociation and brain frequency tracking to the stimulus.
The David Delight Pro - Light Therapy and CES Sound Machine features large easy-to-read, easy-to-operate buttons and allows users to select a session very easily. Features five distinct categories of sessions: Energize, Meditate, Brain Brightener, Sleep and Mood Booster, with five selections for each category. It also includes five auto playing Sound Sync Sessions and five locations for you to store sessions you design with the DAVID session editor.
The Delight Pro also features night-vue ability, which allows the user to see the session select buttons in the dark at bedtime or at night.
- David Delight Pro also includes popular 100 Hz CES with any session. Adding a third stimulation to light and sound therapy the CES feature is non-invasive brain stimulation that applies a small pulsed electric current across a person’s head. This small electrical stimulus which is applied laterally across the cranium stimulates endorphins, serotonin, and norepinephrine neurotransmitter production.

Tru-Vu Omniscreen Eyesets Light Glasses
- The unique Tru-Vu Omniscreen Glasses were carefully designed to provide you with the most effective and safe light and sound experience. This patented process allows the Delight Plus to stimulate a different frequency in each hemisphere of the brain. This is essential for mood boosting and mental performance.
- The Tru-Vu Omniscreen Eyesets for the Delight Plus use eight blue-tinted white LEDs mounted over a silver reflector behind a translucent screen. This disperses the light evenly.
- The Tru-Vu Omniscreen Glasses are specially designed to allow for the left and right visual fields of each eye to be individually stimulated rather than the entire eye.
Optional Multi-Color Light Glasses – Highly Recomended!
In addition to the standard white glasses, you can now experience a broader spectrum using blue, cyan, green, yellow, red and magenta. The David Delight Plus and the Multi Color Glasses allow you to select separate colors for each visual field and random color selection. Blue – Calming and relaxing Cyan – Shown to reduce risk of seizure Green – Effective for pain reduction and meditation Yellow – Improve cognition and focus Red – Increase physical arousal and energy Magenta – Best for contemplative meditation and enhancing creativity Includes deluxe carry case!
HEART RATE VARIABILITY (HRV):
The David Delight Pro offers HRV training along with the light and sound therapy. Meditative breathing may be paced along with an audio-visual entrainment (AVE) session. Long, graceful breathing cycles have been used as part of meditation. Scientifically, this technique has been shown to settle down stressed autonomic nervous system. Both sympathetic (flight-or-fight) activity and para-sympathetic (the brain’s efforts to compensate) activity settle down dramatically using HRV techniques.
The HRV technique used clinically is based on a 10 second breathing cycle (six breaths/minute, by inhaling slowly for five seconds and exhaling slowly for five seconds in an easy, relaxed breath). When using HRV paced breathing, listen to the heartbeat generated through the headphones. Inhale for two heartbeats and exhale for two heartbeats (not your own heartbeats!). Most sessions begin at seven breathing cycles/minute (28 heartbeats/min) and slow to six breaths /minute (24 heartbeats/min). This allows the user to breathe a little faster at the onset of a session until he/she has had time to relax.

- The Tru-Vu Omniscreen Glasses are specially designed to allow for the left and right visual fields of each eye to be individually stimulated rather than the entire eye.
With the Tru-Vu Omniscreens, the lights flash into the left visual fields of both eyes, then alternately flashes into the right visual fields of both eyes. This approach stimulates either visual cortex with a frequency different from the other visual cortex. For example, a person who functions strongly from the left brain could have 8 Hz stimulated into the right visual field (and therefore the left brain) to slow down left brain function and have 18 Hz stimulated into the left visual field to increase right brain function.
Optional Multi-Color Light Glasses - Highly Recomended! In addition to the standard white glasses, you can now experience a broader spectrum using blue, cyan, green, yellow, red and magenta. The David Delight Plus and the Multi Color Glasses allow you to select separate colors for each visual field and random color selection. Blue - Calming and relaxing Cyan - Shown to reduce risk of seizure Green - Effective for pain reduction and meditation Yellow - Improve cognition and focus Red - Increase physical arousal and energy Magenta - Best for contemplative meditation and enhancing creativity Includes deluxe carry case!
- Isochronic Pulsed Tones, Binaural Beats and Monaural Beats - The isochronic pulsed tones are evenly spaced, are of equal pitch and are turned on and off at a specified rate. This is important to enhance the effectiveness of audio entrainment. The monaural beats are similar to the isochronic pulsed tones, but turn on and off more gently and therefore are smoother, fuller beats and are recommended for those who find the pulse tones too stimulating. The binaural beats are two pure tones (one in each ear)and are perceived to have a beat.
- Soft-Off - The gradual lowering of the lights and tones at the end of the session prevents a startle response (also known as somnatic shock). Soft-OffTM ensures that relaxation and other benefits carry over even after a session has ended.
- Battery Power Indicator - At a quick glance you can tell if your battery has enough power to run your session. New eye set technology allows for much longer life for your 9-volt battery.
- Easy-To-Find Power, Intensity and Volume Buttons - The power, intensity and volume buttons are raised so that you can make the necessary adjustments easily and quickly, even with your eyes closed. Adjust the intensity of the Omniscreen Glasses with the easy-to-find INT button.
- 25 Preset Sessions - Five sessions in each category: Energize, Meditate, Brain Booster, Sleep and Mood Booster.
- Sound Sync Sessions - Each category also has a Sound Sync Session to turn your music into an intriguing light show. All sessions include HRV and begin with a 3-stage process that enhances dissociation.

Energize (Energize 1 - 20min / Energize 2 - 18min) Start your day with either of these sessions or use as a caffeine-free burst of energy. Try Energize 2 for more energizing results. Meditate (Meditate 1 - 30min / Meditate 2 - 40min) Relax with these sessions designed to help you reach meditative states. Use Meditate 2 for an even deeper meditation. Brain Booster (Brain 1 - 24min / Brain 2 - 30min) Improve your mental functioning, focus, and memory. Brain Booster 1 is great for both college students and seniors. Brain Booster 2 is more stimulating and effective for those with ADD. Sleep (Sleep 1 - 45min / Sleep 2 - 40min) Get a better night's sleep. Sleep 1 is best for people with a chatty mind and tense body. Use Sleep 2 for a chatty mind only (relaxed body). Mood Booster (Mood 1 - 30min / Mood 2 - 42min) Settle down negative emotions and thoughts. Mood Booster 1 is most effective in the morning. Use Mood Booster 2 to help you relax and settle anxiety.
