Earthquake Sound MQB-1 Tactile Transducer

Yes, the MQB-1 is a passive device and requires an external amplifier to function. You will need an amp capable of driving the transducer's specific impedance and power requirements to get the best performance.

It depends on your goals. While the MQB-1 provides excellent physical impact and tactile feedback, it does not produce audible sound waves. Many users keep a traditional subwoofer for the audible bass frequencies and use the transducer to add the physical 'shake' that a standard sub often lacks.

Installation is generally straightforward, provided your chair has a solid frame to mount to. You will need to securely bolt the transducer to a structural part of the chair's frame to ensure the vibrations transfer effectively to your body.

It works very well for music. When integrated into your seating, it adds a visceral, rhythmic punch to bass-heavy tracks, allowing you to feel the kick drum and bass guitar lines in a way that standard speakers simply cannot replicate.

Absolutely. Because the MQB-1 transmits vibrations directly into your chair or sofa rather than pushing sound waves through the air, you can experience powerful, immersive bass without disturbing your neighbors.
