ButtKicker LFE Kit
EVERYTHING YOU NEED TO EXPERIENCE THE NEXT GENERATION OF HOME THEATER
The ButtKicker is a small, linear motor, which reacts to an audio signal sent by an amplifier. It is similar to a
loudspeaker, but instead of moving a cone, and transferring sound waves through the air, it attaches to seats
and floors, and sends low frequency sound directly into the listener's body. The effect is amazing.
It takes two senses to perceive full range sound. We hear sound, but we also feel sound, especially low
frequency. Traditionally, it takes big speakers, moving tremendous amounts of air, to feel the low frequency of
sound. People like loud concerts because they want to feel the sound pressure in their bodies.
The ButtKicker reproduces the feeling range of audio in a more direct way than through air. The perception is
actually better and sound pressure disappears. When using headphones, for example, with a ButtKicker, the
listener perceives powerful, musically accurate, concert-level audio, but no one else hears anything. The sound
is completely isolated to the listener.
The only tactile transducer designed specifically to take advantage of the .1 and LFE channels, the ButtKicker®
LFE features extended low frequency response for powerful bass response and special effects.
The ButtKicker LFE (low frequency effects) utilizes 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. The
ButtKicker 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.
Different from other shakers or tactile transducers that use voice coil technology, the ButtKicker is 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.
One ButtKicker LFE 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. The ButtKicker is used in: Theme
park attractions; Specialty theaters; Simulators; Virtual reality machines; Arcade and amusement rides/games;
and Custom Home theaters.
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 the ButtKicker into your design.
We invite you to "Feel what you've been missing!"
