Overview
A must-have item for the ultimate home theater setup. This tactile sound transducer
adds a level of sensaround that is unbelievable. Experience it once and you will
agree that these are a requirement in every home theater. The tactile transducer
is mounted under the wood floor beneath your seating area. It literally shakes the
floor during explosive low-frequency viewing moments to add an incredible sense
of realism. This effect is achieved without requiring an excessively high bass volume,
which would be the only other way to even come close to getting this effect using
a subwoofer. The effect also works well with heavy bass music and video games.
Performance Features
Tactile sound transducer has an incredible force that moves your floor, it uses
a huge 20 oz. neodymium magnet structure to produce a whopping 2.8 pounds of force
per watt. At the input limit of 135 watts RMS each transducer is capable of exerting
over 370 lbs. of force on the bottom of your floor. The transducers are so effective
that they're used in aircraft (F14, F15, F16), Apache helicopter and Bradley tank
simulators.
You'll Need an Amp To get the most out of a transducer it is recommended that it
be connected to its own dedicated amplifier of at least 100 watts. The amp should
have its own volume control so you can tune the effect relative to the audio level.
The hi-fi quality of the amp is not critical, so relatively inexpensive amps can
be used.
Design FeaturesCan Also be Built Into Theater
Seating If you do not have a wood floor or do not have access beneath the floor,
instructions are given on how to build a raised wood platform. The other alternative
is to install the units in the frame of your seat. If your budget allows, the manufacturer
actually recommends installing transducers both under the floor and in the seats.
Great for Outdoor Applications? You Bet! The tactile transducer is actually a full-range
5Hz-17kHz driver. This feature gives the transducer some interesting alternative
applications. Installed under an outdoor deck, the transducer will actually turn
the deck into an omnidirectional speaker. It can also be installed on spas and swimming
pools to provide sound that can be heard underwater.
The tactile transducers are sold individually. Each transducer produces an effect
on the floor that can be felt strongly in a 6 to 10 ft. radius. This is usually
enough to cover the seating area in the average home theater. For larger area coverage
add more units as desired. Rated at 135W RMS. 5 to 20,000 Hz response.
