Installation: Overview Installation: Overview Installation Type: Unimount Bracket Installation Type: Hanger Bolt Screws into the bottom of the mounting surface. Requires access only to the bottom of the mounting surface. Requires a flat or nearly flat mounting surface. Screws into the bottom of the mounting surface (into a 5/16” drilled hole. Requires access only to the bottom of the mounting surface.
Installation: Chairs & Couches As a general rule, most chairs and couches have an underlying wooden frame. The Transducer can be mounted directly to a frame member or to a hardwood bridge that is rigidly secured to chair or couch’s bottom frame. The bridge should be at least 3/4" thick and cut to span the two frame members or connect two sides of a box frame. The more centrally located the frame member or bridge is on the overall structure, the better the distribution of tactile sound.
Notes Installation: Laminated I-Beam Floors Laminated I-Beam Joists The Transducer mounts on 1"x 6" hardwood bridge spanning two joists, using the Unimount Bracket (shown) or the threaded stud with T-Nut. Attach the bridge to the bottom face of the joists using adhesive and screws. Installation using the Unimount Bracket MOUNTING DETAIL 1. Attach a 1” by 6” hardwood bridge to the two I-beams using adhesive and screws. 2.
Installation: Wood Decks 1 Installation: Wood Decks Measure the overall dimensions of the deck. For best results, it is recommended that one (1) AW339 be installed for every 10 ft. by 10 ft. (3 m by 3 m) section of deck. For example, if you have a deck that is 10 ft. by 20 ft. (3 m by 6 m), you would need to install two (2) AW339 transducers on that deck. 3 The transducer should be mounted in a location that is equally spaced from the sides of the deck and other transducers.
Wiring & Connections Wiring & Connections HOME THEATER There are several different ways to hook up your system in terms of which source material (signal) is delivered to the amplifier(s) and Transducer(s). We have found that about half of our customers prefer using the LFE/ SUB signal with their Transducers. The other half prefer using the Right Front (RF) and Left Front (LF) signals. Additionally, there are a few people who like to use multiple signals concurrently.

Troubleshooting Symptom No Tactile Sound Not Enough Tactile Sound Sound Comes and Goes Troubleshooting Question I Hear Noises from my Recliner Remedy Is the Transducer connected? Connect the Transducer properly. Is the input source connected to the amplifier input? Connect the input source. Is the source outputting a signal? Connect the source to another amplifier to verify the source is working. Is the Gain (Volume) Control turned up? Slowly turn up the Gain (Volume) Control.
