ear has the ability to hear a wide range of sounds, however, some sound is
simply too low to hear and must be felt through the body. Feeling this
extremely low frequency sound adds a new dimension to your listening, gaming,
and movie experiences. With a Dayton Audio BST-1 Bass Shaker installed in your
home or auto sound system, you’ll feel those low bass notes or the thundering
weight of a dinosaur’s foot slamming against the ground as it approaches. Your
favorite action movies will come to life as you feel the cannon blasts and
explosions impacting your body! If you’re into die-hard gaming the BST-1 Bass
Shaker is the perfect addition to your gaming chair or couch! The power and
impact of a football tackle puts you on the field and in the game! Feel the
kick of your proton gun as it fires against the enemy! Unlike subwoofers, the
BST-1 Bass Shaker will not overload your listening area, and the perceived
loudness of the BST-1 Bass Shaker improves listening at lower sound volumes.
The engineers at Dayton Audio designed the BST-1 Bass Shaker to reproduce
accurate, tactile sensations from your music and movie sound tracks. When a
BST-1 Bass Shaker is installed on a resonant surface, it increases the portion
of tactile sound as being “felt” beyond what is normally produced by
subwoofers and ordinary speakers. Conventional subwoofers are traditionally
considered optimized when you can feel rather than hear the bass. By using a
BST-1 Bass Shaker in your system, this goal becomes easier to achieve —
enabling the subwoofer to perform at a more natural sound level. A specially
formulated nylon/fiber spider and the selection of quality hardware components
allow the BST-1s internal motor structure to not only outperform the
competition but increase the product lifespan. Simply put, with a Dayton Audio
BST-1 Bass Shaker you can count on years and years worth of amazing blasts,
shakes, rolls, rattles, rumbles, thumps, bangs, and bumps! Connecting a Single
BST-1 Dayton Audio Bass Shaker The impedance of the BST-1 Bass Shaker is 4
ohms. When used in a single unit configuration it must be hooked up to an
amplifier that is either stereo or bridged mono, the same way you would
connect a subwoofer. Please consult the amplifier manual for details regarding
the impedance rating of your amplifier. Connecting Multiple BST-1 Dayton Audio
Bass Shakers Two or four Dayton Audio BST-1 Bass Shakers can be used in
situations where more bass energy is desired or in larger applications.
Connecting two in Series configuration will raise the impedance to 8 ohms,
connecting two in Parallel will lower the impedance to 2 ohms, and wiring four
BST-1 Bass Shakers in Series-Parallel will keep the overall impedance to 4
ohms. Again, always consult your amplifier’s owners manual to verify it has
the power capability that produce the wattage safely at various impedances.
WARNING: Do NOT exceed 50 watts RMS per Bass Shaker multiplied by the number
of Shakers (example: 50 x 4 = 200 Watts RMS) Installation Notes HOME –
Mounting the Bass Shaker to chairs or couches that are not fixed to the floor
will provide the greatest effects. The Bass Shakers energy will impact the
user’s body rather than travel through the furniture and disperse the energy
into the floor. Isolating the furniture from the floor is highly recommended
by using pads or rubber feet. Find a solid mounting area for your Bass
Shaker(s) underneath and/or on the rear of the furniture’s construction. Use
four wood screws or stingers to mount the Bass Shaker to the structure. Should
no solid mount exist it is recommended that one be constructed using hardwood
or plywood. Try to avoid fabric or padding coming into contact with the Bass
Shaker. It is important the Bass Shaker makes full contact with a solid flat
surface. Recommended wire gauge is 14-16 AWG speaker wire. AUTO – Mounting the
Bass Shaker under the seats is highly recommended rather than on the seat
itself. Move (or remove) your seat forward as far as possible, and identify
the spot under the seat that vibrates the most by knocking on the flooring
using a rubber mallet or soft hammer. Again, ensuring the Bass Shaker comes
into full contact with the floor surface is critical to the performance of the
Bass Shaker. Wiring in advance of the installation is recommended. Ensure your
wire is without kinks or bends and that no bare wire is touching metal. Use
four steel screws or stingers to mount the Bass Shaker to the floor of your
vehicle. Recommended wire gauge is 14-16 AWG speaker wire. WARNING: Always
check under carpeted locations and recheck the mounting area so as to not cut
or drill into any existing electrical wiring, airbag sensors, hydraulics,
brakes, gas, or fuel lines. ADDITIONAL NOTES AND SUGGESTIONS: • 80 Hz or under
low pass crossover suggested to reduce the possibility of high frequency
sounds • Recommended Amplifiers: Dayton Audio SA70 for single Bass Shakers,
Dayton Audio SPA250 for 2 – 4 Bass Shaker installations. For larger
installations we recommend the Dayton Audio SPA1000 or SA1000. Specifications:
