AC/DC (Pro)

AC/DC (Pro) is a high-energy pinball machine that embodies the spirit of one of rock music's most iconic bands. Designed by Steve Ritchie and released in 2012 by Stern Pinball, this machine is a testament to the enduring legacy of AC/DC's music and energy. As part of Stern's solid-state electronic lineup, running on the S.A.M. board system, the AC/DC (Pro) boasts features that set it apart from its predecessors.

Key gameplay elements include two flippers, three pop bumpers, two slingshots, 15 standup targets, and a spinning target, which combine to create an immersive experience for players. The machine also features a rotating ball cannon and a bell toy, which add excitement to its 2-ball, 3-ball, and 4-ball multiball modes.

The machine's design and art pay homage to the band's classic album covers and live performances, with vibrant graphics and lighting effects that bring the game to life. The AC/DC (Pro) measures 55 inches long, 27 inches wide, and stands at an impressive 75 1/2 inches tall, weighing 250 pounds. David Thiel noted that the Pro version's music was specially optimized for its 8-inch lower cabinet driver using equalization curves derived from FFT measurements. With its blend of classic rock licensing and modern Stern engineering, the AC/DC (Pro) is designed to energize players with dynamic gameplay and a rock 'n' roll attitude.
