John Heisz - Speakers and Audio Projects | Playing with a Bass Shaker Plus 4 New Albums @IBuildIt | Uploaded 1 year ago | Updated 8 hours ago
A bass shaker adds the final stroke of realism that even the best and biggest subwoofers can't do. By directly shaking what you are sitting on while you are hearing / feeling the bass produced by your subwoofers, it really sells the "I'm there" illusion.
I though it might be even more realistic if it was mounted on the floor directly below my chair, because it would be shaking something bigger - more like the whole room is moving rather than just my chair. Since the hardwood flooring is cushioned by thin carpet, it can move slightly and may be better at transferring the energy to the whole chair.
The results were not as good. Maybe if the floor was wood framed and not sitting on a concrete slab it would vibrate more freely. In any case I thought it was worth a try to see if attaching it directly to the chair can be avoided.
New music! Three from The Police:
"Zenyatta Mondatta"
"Ghost in the Machine"
"Synchronicity"
and one from Metric:
"Old World Underground, Where Are You Now?"
