Frequently Asked Questions
)
Q
Everything is hooked up but I’m not getting any output from the ButtKicker mini
Concert. What do I do?
)
ɶ
Here are a few things to check. Make sure that:
All connections are tight.
Audio software is installed and functioning.
Your computer’s sound card is turned up and the bass setting is set high enough.
)
Q
I’m feeling the music and sound effects more than the car or plane’s engine in
my simulator. How can I change this?
)
ɶ
The ButtKicker mini Concert is reacting to the low frequency audio that has been mixed by
the game studio. Higher quality audio mixing will result in a better ButtKicker experience.
Turn on the high cut switch and dial the “High Cutoff Frequency” knob down to a lower
frequency. The extra shaking may also be eliminated by turning off or lowering the
background music or effects from the in-game settings menu.
)
Q
My sim rig/cockpit is rattling. How can I fix this problem?
)
ɶ
Use foam, cardboard or a rubber band to secure any loose parts.
)
Q
I hear a knocking or banging noise coming from the ButtKicker mini Concert -
what should I do?
)
ɶ
That is the internal piston hitting the inside of the housing. Although this will not immediately
harm the unit, you should turn the volume down on the amplifier to avoid “overdriving.”
)
Q
Sometimes when I press the power button on the remote control, the BKA-
130-C power amplifier doesn’t seem to respond - why?
)
ɶ
If the BKA-130-C power amplifier is in STANDBY mode (orange light), pressing the power
button will first switch it to the OFF mode. Simply press the power button again to turn the
amplifier ON and wait a few moments for the circuits to receive power.
)
Q
The ButtKicker mini Concert suddenly stopped working, and then it started
again 10 or 15 minutes later - what happened?
)
ɶ
The ButtKicker mini Concert is equipped with thermal protection which will disengage the
transducer from the power amplifier before it reaches a potentially hazardous operating
temperature. After cooling, it will begin operation as normal.
