Clark Synthesis TST239 Tactile Transducer

A subwoofer moves air to create audible bass, while a tactile transducer like the TST239 converts audio signals into physical vibrations. It is designed to be mounted directly to your furniture or platform, allowing you to feel the impact of low-frequency effects rather than just hearing them.

Yes, the TST239 is designed for versatility and can be mounted either horizontally or vertically depending on your furniture's structure. This flexibility allows you to install it in the most effective location for transferring vibrations to your seat.

You will need a dedicated amplifier capable of delivering 125 to 150 watts at 4 ohms. It is important to match this power range to ensure you get the full tactile effect without risking damage to the unit.

The Polyswitch protection acts as a safety mechanism that prevents the transducer from being damaged by excessive power or signal spikes. It automatically resets itself, ensuring the unit remains reliable even during intense movie scenes or gaming sessions.

No, the TST239 operates independently of your audible speakers. It adds a physical layer of immersion to your setup, allowing you to keep your main audio system balanced while enjoying the visceral, felt impact of low-frequency effects.

While it is primarily designed to create physical vibrations, it does have a wide frequency response up to 17 kHz. However, because it is mounted to a solid surface, the sound it produces is intended to be felt through the furniture rather than heard through the air.
