Know before you buy
No, this transducer is designed to work without a closed housing. It functions by transferring vibrations directly into the surface it is mounted to, such as a sofa frame or a floor panel.
Yes, the BSX 130 WP features an IP 64 protection class, making it splash-proof and weather-resistant. It is suitable for outdoor installations or environments where moisture might be a concern, provided it is within the -25 to 70 °C temperature range.
You will need an amplifier capable of driving a 4 Ohm load with at least 50 watts of continuous power. Since it acts as a woofer, it is best paired with an amplifier that has a dedicated subwoofer output or a low-pass filter to ensure it only receives low-frequency signals.
Unlike a traditional subwoofer that moves air to create sound waves, this tactile transducer converts audio signals into physical vibrations. It is intended to be felt rather than heard, adding a tactile layer of 'rumble' to your home cinema experience.
The unit is designed for surface mounting, meaning you simply need to securely screw it onto a rigid, vibrating surface. Ensure the mounting point is structurally sound to effectively transfer the bass energy throughout the furniture or floor.
