Dayton Audio BST-1 High Power Pro Tactile Bass Shaker 50 Watts

Awesome product

I have had a pair of these installed in my sofa ( actually, more of just stuffing them in the cushions) for well over a year now and I haven't looked back since. All you need to hook these up to a small, inexpensive bass amp and you connect that amp to the bass output of your AV receiver. Tune the bass levels according to taste and you are good to go. Some people will tell you that a good bass(from a subwoofer) setup in any home theatre should be felt and not heard. These bass shakers will complement your setup no matter how good your subwoofer is. It just completes the LFE setup. Every shot or explosion is felt, giving a more realistic experience. On the end of the spectrum, if you don't want to create unnecessary friction with your neighbors, you can watch your movies with the volume down and the bass shakers cranked up. This gives you the experience minus the overpowering volume of your setup and without waking up your neighbors. Of course, there's gotta be a downside right? If not tuned properly, the bass from the soundtrack can be felt and can make the entire movie watching less realistic. Especially if you are reaally particular, time is needed to tune the bass levels for these shakers. All in all, they are relatively affordable ( watch for price drops especially here in amazon) but a good investment to better up your home theatre.

I added the Dayton Audio BST-1 bass shaker to my sim racing rig, and it completely changed the experience. Once it’s mounted to the frame and dialed in, you can feel every curb, gear shift, engine vibration, and road texture in a way that audio alone just can’t replicate. The build quality is solid and it delivers a lot of power without feeling sloppy or rattly. When paired with the right amp and software, the feedback is strong, clean, and very detailed. It adds realism without being distracting, and it’s especially noticeable under braking, acceleration, and when hitting rumble strips. Setup took a little time to tune properly, but once it’s configured, it’s incredibly consistent and reliable. For the price, this is one of the best upgrades you can make to a sim rig if you’re chasing immersion. I’d absolutely recommend it to anyone looking to take their racing setup to the next level.

I use this underneath my Andaseat PC chair mainly for racing games with Simhub to add immersion but I've also got it added to voicemeeter banana software to liven up movies when watching on my PC. It's perfect for racing games and flight sims, I wouldn't want to race without it now as I've got used to feeling the rumble strips and roads underneath me while I'm in VR driving on a direct drive wheel. The immersion is unreal and makes sim racing a whole lot better! Never had any issues, it's well made and does what it's supposed to. Had for around 6 months now and seems like it'll last for years.

Sim racers listen up. If you have the ability to grab a pair of these and run them with your set up, you will never race without them again! I run in VR and with two of these mounted to the hip areas on my seat, every bump and rumble stip is felt. My biggest surprise was when I gained pace from being able to feel the tires breaking loose very early on in the slide. Honestly, total game changer. Snag an Amp that can properly power these (make sure your Amp power supply is at least 5A and 30ish Volts. I know they are only 50watts each but I was getting multiple amps cutting out. Was not the wattage but the current flow. 5A power supply and you will be good with the 100-150watt Amp

EXELENTE !!!!!
