Wiring & Connections General Installation Tips Wiring the Transducer is essentially the same as wiring speakers: • Use 16AWG or heavier speaker wire. • Make sure all audio components are OFF before connecting the Transducer. One of the best materials for carrying tactile sound is wood. In most applications, the Transducer should be centrally located on the structure (chair, floor, riser, deck, etc.) in order to evenly distribute the tactile effect.

Installation: Chairs & Couches Installation Type: Unimount Bracket or T-Nut Floor joists 16" on center If you want to use Transducers under the floor to supplement a music system, then you should seek an evenly distributed effect. Transducers may be mounted under a floor by attaching a bridge connected between adjacent floor joists. As a general rule, most chairs and couches have an underlying wooden frame.
