Essential Info
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.
In addition to adding bass you can feel, the Clark Tactile Transducer also increases your enjoyment of all mid-range and higher frequencies as well. In a demonstration at our offices, we listened to a very good stereo system playing some great Led Zeppelin tracks. After becoming accustomed to the music, the Clark transducers were switched on. There certainly was physical movement accompanying each bass note, along with enhanced detail - we could actually hear Jimmy Page's fingers sliding up and down his guitar strings. The most shocking part of this demo came when the transducers were turned off - where did the music go?

Incredible Force that Moves Your Floor
The transducer 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.
Can 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 10Hz-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. 10 to 17,000 Hz response.
