| Computer Pilot Magazine calls the Buttkicker "an absolute must for flight sim." The
ButtKicker BK-GR Gamer is awesome for gaming, computer entertainment, and
digital music playback. This device works with all computer systems and all
gaming consoles, and allows you to feel the low end of sounds without making the
room overly loud. With the ButtKicker you can experience powerful bass even
while you're using headphones. But what is it and how does it work? The
ButtKicker is a small linear motor that reacts to an audio signal sent by an
amplifier (the ButtKicker Gamer comes with its own 100-watt amplifier). It is
similar to a loudspeaker, but instead of a moving a cone and transferring sound
waves through the air, the ButtKicker Gamer is attached to your seat and sends a
low frequency sound directly into your body. The effect is
amazing. The human
body uses two senses to perceive full-range sound. We hear sound, but we also
feel it, especially low frequencies. Traditionally it takes big speakers to move
a tremendous amount of air for us to feel low frequency sound. That's why so
many people love loud concerts -- they want to feel the music as well as hear it. The ButtKicker Gamer
reproduces the feeling range of audio in a more direct way than through air
movement. The perception is actually better, plus the sound pressure disappears
(forget about ringing ears!). For example, when using headphones with the BK-GR,
you'll still perceive powerful, musically accurate, concert-level audio, but no
one else will hear anything. The
ButtKicker Gamer can take your gaming experience to an awesome level without
angering your neighbors. To get the full effect of exciting, action-packed video
game titles you'd normally need a huge audio entertainment system that you could
pump up to a disturbing-the-peace level. The ButtKicker Gamer solves the problem
and adds the big bass sound without the giant, disruptive
volume. Designed to be responsive
and aggressive, the ButtKicker Gamer answers the need for both accurate low
frequency response and maximum tactile effect. Digital music playback, gaming,
and computer entertainment have never been so realistic or intense. Virtually
indestructible and maintenance free, with a patented magnetic suspension system
and a thermal switch for heat protection, the BK-GR provides tremendous power
and longevity. For the workplace or home, the ButtKicker Gamer easily attaches
to most standard center post chairs. And with the included "Easy Clamp"
mechanism hooking up the ButtKicker Gamer is a breeze. Once the ButtKicker is
attached, you'll feel the low end of sound without making the room unbearably
loud. Turn down or turn off your subwoofer and you'll still be able to feel all
the bass you want. And remember, you'll be able to experience powerful bass even
while using headphones, making this an ideal addition to any apartment,
dormitory, or condominium. Plus this new version features an all new digital amplifier (BKA-130-C) with wired remote control replaces the previous amplifier. This unit is 120V and not suitable for use with a 220V power source. |
