ButtKicker brand low frequency audio transducers are musically
accurate, powerful, virtually indestructible and patented linear
transducers, which recreate amplified audio signals in the
feeling range. They are similar to loudspeakers,
but instead of moving a cone, and transferring sound waves through
the air, they attache to seats, floors, platforms, etc, and send
low frequency sound directly into the listener's body. The effect
is amazing.
It takes two senses to perceive full range sound. We hear sound,
but we also feel sound, especially low frequency. Traditionally,
it has taken big speakers, moving tremendous amounts of air, to feel
the low frequency of sound. People like loud concerts because
they want to feel the sound pressure in their bodies.
However, ButtKicker transducers reproduce the feeling range of audio in a more
direct way than through air. The perception is actually better
and sound pressure disappears. When using headphones, for example,
with ButtKicker brand transducers, the listener perceives powerful, musically
accurate, concert-level audio, but no one else hears anything.
The sound is completely isolated to the listener.
This becomes very interesting for music monitoring and recording
studios. Over one hundred of the top touring bands use ButtKicker
products for stage monitoring because of the complete control
they give them over their mix and sound level, without sacrificing
any quality. Most musicians tell us immediately that they hear
better and play better when using ButtKicker transducers.
In a recording studio, ButtKicker transducers allow for low volume,
incredible isolation.. and, because the they were designed
to be musically accurate, to fractions of frequencies, studio
engineers are finding that their mixes are coming out tighter,
cleaner and better balanced.
Music writers, producers and studio musicians who do soundtrack work for commercial companies and stage
show producers, in large commercial facilities or smaller home studios are beginning to rely on ButtKicker brand low frequency audio transducers to check
the accuracy of their mixes.
