EarthQuake Quake Tactile Transducer

Yes, the Mini Quake is a passive device and requires a dedicated amplifier to drive the signal. You will need to ensure your amplifier has enough power to handle the transducer's impedance requirements.

For the most effective tactile feedback, mount the unit directly to the frame of your seating, such as the underside of a sofa or the base of a gaming chair. Ensure it is attached to a solid, rigid surface to transfer vibrations efficiently without rattling.

Absolutely. You can connect the Mini Quake to the same subwoofer output on your receiver using a Y-splitter or a separate channel if your receiver supports it. This allows the transducer to fire in sync with your subwoofer's low-frequency effects.

The Mini Quake is designed to produce physical vibrations rather than sound, so it should be virtually silent. If you hear audible rattling, it usually indicates the unit is not mounted tightly enough to the furniture frame.

One unit can provide noticeable feedback for a single seat, but for a full-sized sofa, you may want two or more to ensure even distribution of vibrations across all seating positions. Placing one under each main seating area typically yields the best results.
