A comparison of tactile transducers - Clark Synthesis vs ButtKicker Mini LFE vs Aura Bass Shaker

This is a comparison video of three tactile transducers. A group of four audio/video enthusiasts got together and compared these three tactile transducers installed in my Berkline recliners. For the actual movie clip audition we level matched each by feel rather than wattage. This is a supplementary video to show how each transducer reacts at the same wattage. For this video a Yamaha P3500S amp was used with a low cut filter at 25hz. Wattage applied to each transducer was the same for each of the transducers. In order of capability the Clark Synthesis TST 209 is the most powerful (rated at 150 watt peak and 4ohm), the Buttkicker Mini LFE is second (rated at 250 watt peak and 4ohm) and the Aura AST-2B-04 Pro Bass Shaker brings up the rear (rated at 50 watt peak and 4ohm).


The subjective results are revealed in this avsforum thread.
