I am looking for a controller for my Koralia 1040's. Does anyone have this or used one in the past. I know they aren't top of the line, but when it switches between outputs is there a clicking sound. I cannot have tons of noise as this is in my living room!! Thanks for the input and if anyone has any old controllers they want to get rid of...I may be interested.

These are decent wave makers. The Evos will tick when they turn on but are quiet.

Any recs for inexpensive wavemakers that utilize soft start so your powerheads won't click. I'm looking at setting up two MJs in my DT but don't want to hear clicking every 10-15 minutes.

The Tunze Wavecontroller 7092 looks great but then you can only use Tunze pumps.

The wavetimer does not make any sound when it switches, it is the pumps that usually make the sound as the impellar gets going.

Right, I was just wondering if it included "soft start" which alleviates the hard click of powerheads on startup. I've found some, though for the price I may be sitting on that purchase until my next system.
