Installation: Floors, Platforms & Staging
FLOORS
Transducers may be mounted under the floor by attaching a
hardwood bridge between adjacent floor joists, or by installing a
2" x 6" bridge with a curved niche. When installing under a floor,
access may be from the basement or the ceiling below the floor.
The Transducer will be mounted to a bridge connected between
adjacent floor joists.
If your goal is to excite the area of the floor directly beneath a
chair, then attach the Transducer to the closest joist underneath
the chair.
Note: Carpeting and padding may reduce the tactile effect.
PLATFORMS & STAGING
Clark Synthesis recommends using only TST429 Platinum
Transducers or AW439 All-Weather™ Pro 2X Transducers for
platforms and staging. Use one Transducer for every 4 ft. by 8 ft.
( 1.2 m by 2.4 m) area of the platform.
Platforms are a great alternative to mounting a
Transducer directly to a chair. This method is especially practical
in home theaters with multiple rows of seating placed on
platforms. An activated platform will deliver tactile sensations to
your feet as well as the rest of your body via the chair.
Space the Transducers an equal distance from each other and
the edges of the platform. If using only one Transducer, locate
the Transducer in the center. Be sure to leave a way to access the
Transducer should service be required.
To minimize energy loss into the floor, use isolation feet between
the platform and the floor. Do not glue a platform to a concrete
floor.
Clark Synthesis recommends using plywood or hardwood
for the platform's top surface. DO NOT USE MDF (medium-
density fiberboard). We highly recommend using adhesive and
screws instead of nails. Loose fitting joints can cause unwanted
vibrations and buzzing noises.
