What is a Tactile Transducer?
A tactile transducer or "bass shaker" is a device which is made on
the principle that low bass frequencies can be felt as well as heard.
A shaker transmits low-frequency vibrations into various surfaces
so that they can be felt by people. This is called tactile sound.
Tactile transducers may augment or in some cases, substitute for
a subwoofer.
Tactile transducers may be used in a home theater, a commercial
movie theater, or for special effects in an arcade game,
amusement park ride or other application.
In
Home Theater and Music Applications:
A surround sound audio system complements a video action
movie by responding to the events that are unfolding on the
screen. The surround sound extends from 30 Hz (if you are lucky)
and up to 20Khz. For the most part, it is the low frequency
response that brings you closer to the action. A tactile transducer
system will tap into the low frequency signal that is emanating for
LFE output, which is typically located in the back of your receivers.
This signal is amplified through a resilient power amplifier and then
used to drive the tactile transducer; Thus, picking up and
enhancing everything your subwoofer lacks.
In
Gaming Applications:
Tactile transducers are an explosive way to generate massive
vibration, which brings players into the video game. Mounting an
MQB-1 in a gamer seat will lead to an incredible interactive
experience unlike any other.
