    Tactile Transducers aka Bass Shakers

    in Subwoofers

    Posted

    I have 2 Aura's on my couch, I think they are cool too.   Very cheap really and it adds to the whole movie special effects.  My system is in my basement on concrete slab so none of the shake of my subwoofer makes through the floor into any seating location.   Like you said they are great when you can't blast the sub but still want that feel.  

    Question on live band sound systems

    in Lounge

    Posted

    Many times when you go to see bands in clubs and bars you end up looking how the speakers and sound equipment is set up.  I noticed that many musicians put a mic on a boom and place it in front of a monitor or speaker.   It seems obvious that they are then going to amplify that sound.    Isn't that going to introduce a ton of distortion as compared to traditional ways to amplify the sound.   I would love to understand what they are doing and why.

     

    BTW I just went and saw Sonny Landreth last night and he was awesome, and yes he had one of the monitors behind him mic'd up which is what got me thinking about all of this.

    Teac Integrated Amp / DACs, anybody use these?

    I bought the 301 last spring, crutchfield had them marked down and there was a factory rebate got it for $299 new.    I really bought it for my daughter to use in her room but before I gave it to her I hooked it up to my Quartets in my room.    I thought it was great, plenty of power and very detailed sound with no noise at all.  Blutooth works well even though you loose a little fidelity as compared to hard connection.     I would buy another one without a doubt, if that deal comes around again I might be forced to get another one.

    3 channel the old fashion way

    I did this a few years back. Rolls makes a small mixer that works like PWK's circuit and mixes stereo to mono. Just add an amp and you get a summed mono center. Had a La Scala between two widely spaced K-horns and this setup worked well. A modern ht receiver will do it easier and better though.

    So I would be wasting my time, is that the general consensus of others who tried it as well?  

    Tuba HT Low Profile (THTLP)

    I hired a buddy of mine to build my THTLP.  Parts and wood were around $500 and I paid him $150 to make it from the plans.  I asked him to build it 18"x18" by 72".    I placed it against a side wall and stapled carpet to it, it lays down behind a couch but I sometimes use it as a seat when I have parties.
