INSTALLATION: CHAIRS & COUCHES
As a general rule, most chairs and couches have an
underlying wooden frame. The Transducer can be
mounted directly to a frame member or to a hardwood
bridge that is rigidly secured to chair or couch’s bottom
frame. The bridge should be at least 3/4" thick and cut
to span the two frame members or connect two sides
of a box frame. The more centrally located the frame
member or bridge is on the overall structure, the better
the distribution of tactile sound.
For best results, the Transducer should be parallel to the
ground (horizontal) so that the motion is up and down as
opposed to sideways. The Transducer can be mounted to
either the top or bottom of the bridge. When attaching
the Transducer to the top of the bridge, be sure that the
Transducer and the wiring does not interfere with any
recliner mechanism. When attaching the Transducer to
the bottom of the bridge, be sure that the Transducer
does not touch the floor.
A chair or couch with armrests is preferred since a
significant amount of tactile sensation is felt in the hands
and arms.
