Tweaking & Optimizing
1. OPTIMIZING YOUR SIMULATION RIG/COCKPIT
Efficiency
Place the included rubber isolators under your sim rig/cockpit to increase the efficiency and
strength of the system. See “Rubber Isolators” under “Final Setup Steps” for more information.
Portability
If you need to be able to move your sim rig/cockpit when it’s not in use, consider finding a
stationary position away from the rig/cockpit to place the amplifier. When you need to move the
rig, chair or cockpit, simply disconnect the speaker wire from the back of the amplifier. Use the
included cable ties to strap the speaker wire down to the frame of the rig/cockpit.
2. SETTING THE AMPLIFIER FREQUENCY CONTROLS
For Flight and Racing Simulations
Engine sounds utilize a wide range of low frequency sound. Therefore, it is ideal to either turn off
the “High Cutoff Frequency” control by disengaging the “High On/Off” button, or keep it between
70-110hz by engaging the button and turning the knob between “70” and “110.”
For First-Person Shooters, Action Movies and Other Video Games
Action video game and movie soundtracks sometimes have music which is as loud, or louder
than the sound effects, which can cause the ButtKicker mini Concert to react stronger to the
music than the action. The result is “ambient” rumble that doesn’t seem to correlate with what
is seen. To minimize the ButtKicker mini Concert’s response to the music soundtrack in a movie
or game, complete the following steps:
1.
If gaming, turn the music soundtrack volume down in your in-game audio
settings.
2.
Engage the “High Cutoff Frequency” control on the power amplifier and turn the
High Cutoff knob down between 90hz and 40hz.
