DAVID Premier | Advanced AVE + CES + MET Brain Machine with Spectrum Eyeset
$994.99
Unit price perThe DAVID Premier is Mind Alive's top-of-the-line brain machine and the only DAVID that puts AVE, CES, and optional microcurrent (MET) and tDCS expansion in one unit, with a lighted display that shows what the device is doing in real time.
It ships with the Spectrum eyeset, which produces roughly 200,000 color combinations and can be tuned to a specific goal or color-therapy protocol. This is the model for practitioners, researchers, and dedicated self-optimizers who want control over every parameter rather than a fixed menu.
Designed to support
- Practitioner protocols across sleep, stress, focus, mood, and pain categories
- Fine-tuned light, sound, and CES parameters for individual clients
- Color-therapy work with a calibratable full-color eyeset
- Deep relaxation and meditation training
Sessions and modalities
- 83 built-in sessions: 49 AVE and 34 CES, in categories including Energize, Meditate, Sleep, Wellness, Focus, Mood, Pain, and Gamma, plus 30+ Premier-exclusive protocols
- AVE across the full range from sub-delta to gamma (40 Hz)
- CES through ear-clip electrodes at 100 microamps; can run alone or at the same time as AVE
- MET and tDCS expansion available as separate kits (sold separately, not included)
- Custom sessions. Compatible with Mind Alive's DAVID Studio software (Windows PC) for building your own protocols and pairing them with audio
How it works
Audio-Visual Entrainment (AVE) delivers gentle pulses of light through the eyeset and matching tones through the headphones. The brain tends to fall into step with a steady rhythm, a response called frequency following, which researchers can observe on EEG within a few minutes. Each session is built around a target range: faster rhythms for alertness, slower rhythms for relaxation and sleep. Sessions end with a gradual soft-off fade so you are not startled.
CES adds a very small pulsed current across the head through soft ear-clip electrodes. It has its own research history for stress, sleep, and mood, and on the Premier it can run at the same time as a light-and-sound session.
AVE has been studied for more than 30 years. Published work includes shorter sleep onset in older adults using evening sessions, improved seasonal mood scores with morning sessions, attention gains in students, and mood and balance improvements in seniors. Mind Alive's own pilot studies are small (6 to 8 participants) and are described as such on their research pages. We share this so you can weigh the evidence for yourself.
Technology
- Spectrum eyeset. Approximately 200,000 color combinations, adjustable during a session. Runs from USB as a standalone color-therapy tool.
- Lighted graphic display with LIVE mode. Shows RGB values, CES voltage and amperage, pulse width, and time remaining while a session runs.
- Every parameter adjustable before and during a session: rate, intensity, tones, colors, CES settings, pulse width.
- Portable. AC adapter and battery included; no computer or phone required to run sessions.
Choose your eyeset
- Spectrum, eyes closed. The widest color range, for fine-tuning the light to whatever goal you have in mind.
- Spectrum Viewhole, eyes open. The same color range in a view-through frame, handy for reading, training, or biofeedback while a session runs.

Which DAVID is right for you?
The Delight (10 sessions), Delight Plus (28 sessions with gamma), and Delight Pro (28 sessions plus CES) are preset devices you can use the day they arrive. The Premier is for people who need CES and AVE together, a full-color eyeset, live parameter control, and room to grow into MET and tDCS.
DAVID devices are not intended to diagnose, treat, cure, or prevent any disease. They are designed to be used alongside, never instead of, any care you already have. Individual experiences vary.

What is the DAVID Delight?
The DAVID Delight uses Audio-Visual Entrainment (AVE) — gentle pulses of light and sound delivered through an eyeset and headphones — to guide your brain into specific, beneficial states. No drugs, no needles, no side effects.
By exposing the brain to rhythmic light and sound at precise frequencies, AVE encourages large neural networks to synchronise — shifting you from stressed to calm, foggy to focused, or wired to ready for sleep, simply by choosing a session.
- Stress & anxiety relief
- Deeper, faster sleep
- Improved focus & memory
- Elevated mood
- Seasonal mood support
- Enhanced meditation
- Mental sharpness
- Drug-free & non-invasive

How the DAVID Delight Works
A session takes just 20 minutes — the device delivers precisely timed pulses of light and sound through three simple phases, each guiding your brain toward a calmer, sharper, or more restful state.
Put on the Tru-Vu Omniscreen eyeset and headphones, sit or lie down comfortably, and select the session that matches your goal — Energize, Meditate, Brain Booster, Sleep, or Feeling Better.
Rhythmic pulses of light and sound at precise frequencies trigger your brain's natural frequency-following response — gently synchronising neural activity into beta, alpha, theta, delta, or gamma states.
As your session ends with a gradual Soft Off, cerebral blood flow increases and beneficial neurotransmitters — serotonin, endorphins, norepinephrine — are stimulated. Most users notice a clear shift in mood, clarity, or calm within the first session.
