Platform Systems
A performance platform equipped with tactile transducers is an ideal complement to a guitar- or bass-
player’s setup (or for any performer who stands in one location). The platform consists of a solid base with
one or more tactile transducers secured to its surface—essentially an easily portable mini stage for the
performer to stand on.

If the performance platform being used contains multiple transducers, be sure that the
total impedance for the platform is in the 4-8 Ohm range to avoid damage to the BOOM-1
internal amplifier.
Connecting a Performance Platform
This example uses a personal mixer with a stereo headphone audio output such as an Aviom A320 Personal
Mixer.
Example 1
The following items will be used:
•
Personal mixer
•
TRS-TRS 1/4-inch cable
•
BOOM-1 Tactile Transducer Processor
•
PLF-1 Platform (powered by ButtKicker) with tactile transducer
•
Locking speaker cable
•
Headphones or earbud monitors
The instructions assume that the performance platform equipped with tactile transducers is set up with a
locking speaker connector. If the platform uses another type of speaker connector, an appropriate adapter
may be required. Common speaker connection adapters (such as 1/4-inch to locking speaker) are readily
available.
To fine tune the performance platform’s response, use the Transducer System Select DIP switches on the
BOOM-1 rear panel. See “Transducer System Select” on page 13 for more info.
Start with the power off on all devices. Follow these steps to connect the system:
1. Connect one end of the TRS 1/4-inch cable to the stereo headphone output of the
personal mixer.
2. Connect the other end of the TRS cable to the

on the BOOM-1. (You can use
either the front- or rear-panel headphone connectors.)
3. Using the locking speaker cable, connect one end to the
