If you are looking to delight and electrify yourself and others with an affordable and easy to use solution, now is the time to incorporate ButtKicker brand low frequency audio transducers into your design and to "Feel what you've been missing!" How Do I Know What Will shake? One ButtKicker transducer will easily replace 2 - 4 or more of the other types of shakers previously available, and perhaps more importantly it is virtually indestructible and maintenance free. ButtKicker transducers accurately reproduce the "feeling" range of many natural and man-made sounds, such as earthquakes, thunderstorms, rocket launches, waves, explosions, tornadoes, volcanoes, dinosaurs, sound effects and all styles of music.ĭifferent from other shakers or tactile transducers that use voice coil technology, ButtKicker transducers are much more powerful, more musical (linear) and offer true infrasonic or low frequency response with their resonant frequency of 9 Hz and range of 5 - 200 Hz. How to Determine How Many Isolators You Will NeedīuttKicker brand low frequency audio transducers utilize a patented magnetic suspension which is different from any other speaker or shaker and can be used couches, theater seating, platforms, and any type of structure. especially on the hard beats? See "Signal Processing, Hi-Pass".Īs always, your feedback is welcomed by us, and considered important to us. Eliminate the infrasonic signals by passing them through a Hi-Pass filter. These infrasonic signals are influenced by head tuning, other sound sources in close proximity, etc. This is not damaging, but it could result in lack of control, and the possible missing of complete beats. Your kick drum signal could easily include infrasonic (below the hearing range) signals which are not relevant to your need and could cause excessive excursion within the ButtKicker Concert. (Compliments of Jeff Kathan, drummer for the Paul Rodgers band) If the signal contains a lot of "garbage" between beats from other picked up stage noises, you may want to gate the signal. No signal processing is necessary to energize the ButtKicker Concert, but some circumstances may warrant extra measures. This allows a mix of whatever drum mics you want to feel, though most other drums may have little usable program content within the ButtKicker Concert's range. The pickup's position on the head is a large factor on both the level and frequency content of the output signal.Ī pre-fader aux send can be used to send a signal to the ButtKicker Concert. You do not change your playing habits or drum tuning in order to advantage of the ButtKicker transducer.Ī tap off the kick drum mic signal used by the sound system can be taken for the ButtKicker transducers's feed. A small platform isolated from the floor with rubber feet can be constructed on which the ButtKicker unit is mounted and the throne is set.Ī large factor on the signal is kick drum head tuning (loose vs. When mounted directly to the throne seat, the ButtKicker Concert will of course deliver the most direct kick, but some thrones' seats are too small for direct mounting of the ButtKicker unit.

The ButtKicker Concert series is recommended for use by bass players, drummers and other musicians. The following are considerations when using a ButtKicker low frequency audio transducer with your kit. It's always there, even if the sound is turned all the way down. I get a "buzz" or "hum" from my speakers now. In this case please contact the manufacturer for suggestions on connecting external audio devices. If no such connections are present (this occasionally occurs on low-end "home theater in a box" type systems) there is unfortunately no way to connect to the A/V receiver. If a speaker channel is unavailable some A/V receivers may have a line level output to connect to. In this case ensure that low frequency sound is being sent through the selected channel so that the ButtKicker transducer receives signal. If your A/V receiver does not have a subwoofer output (because of a proprietary cable being used for the subwoofer) you can still connect the center channel speaker or other speakers. The Speaker Level Interface Adapter connects to the subwoofer output at one end with speaker wire and leads into an RCA "male" jack at the opposite end. If your A/V receiver uses speaker wire connections for the subwoofers and/or speakers you can use the Speaker Level Interface Adapter to connect to the receiver.

The amplifier driving your ButtKicker transducer(s) needs to have a signal source, we recommend using your AV Receiver's "Subwoofer Output" (which will include the.
