An Overview of the ButtKicker
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.
This becomes very interesting for music monitoring and recording studios. We have several dozen of the top touring
bands this summer using ButtKickers for stage monitoring. The ButtKicker gives them complete control over their mix
and sound level, without sacrificing any quality. Most musicians tell us immediately that they hear better and play better
with the ButtKicker.
In a recording studio, the ButtKicker allows for low volume, incredible isolation.. and, because the ButtKicker was
designed to be musically accurate, to fractions of frequencies, studio engineers are finding that their mixes are coming
out tighter, cleaner and better balanced.
For example: I am a music writer/producer and studio musician. I do soundtrack work for various commercial
companies and stage show producers, in my own little home studio, using computer with Cubase, Sonar, etc. I always
use the ButtKicker to check my mixes.
"More Power Per Square Foot"
The ButtKicker LFE is not just for special effects. Because it was designed for music, you can now have a full, concert
hall audio experience without excessive volume.
Now everyone can enjoy conversations while watching movies. And, because the low end is effectively isolated to a
chair, or a couch, or a suspended wood floor, there is much greater control of sound pressure throughout the entire
house. Combined, these attributes make the ButtKicker LFE extremely spouse and neighbor friendly. It virtually
eliminates low end sound "bleeding" into adjoining rooms or connected housing.
The ButtKicker LFE allows you to feel the low end without making the room loud. You can decrease the sound pressure
level from the subwoofer, and still feel all the low end you want.
More Powerful
One ButtKicker can easily replace 3, 4, 5 or even 6 voice coil shakers.
More Responsive
Designed by musicians and studio engineers, the ButtKicker LFE is musically accurate, with a tight, "on-the-beat"
transient response and is used by hundreds of the most demanding musicians in the world.
Smaller
Now only 5.375" tall and 5.5" wide the ButtKicker LFE can satisfy more critical space limitations and fit within a 2" x 6"
joist.
Virtually Indestructible and Maintenance-Free
With only one magnetically suspended moving part, and a thermal switch for heat protection, the ButtKicker LFE is the
last and only audio transducer you'll ever need to buy.
Better
The ButtKicker LFE uses a patented, magnetically suspended piston system, unlike anything else on the market. It
provides tremendous power, musical accuracy, frequency response and longevity.
We invite you to "Feel what you've been missing!"
