Feel the Force with the MAX's New Home Theatre Speakers (2/2/2005)

Home theatre moves into a new dimension with these new under-chair speakers from The MAX. Originally developed to produce realistic flight simulations for military training purposes, the technology has recently been re-worked to provide the very best audio experience for home cinemas.

This latest system features a transducer which has been designed to be installed beneath a seat, sofa or floor. The transducer creates tiny vibrations which pass through the listener's body to generate the full range of sounds - a car engine starting, a building collapsing, a bomb exploding. Now, rather than simply watching the action, you'll feel it too Ð rather like theme park simulations. Whatever happens, these tiny transducers mean that you're in the thick of the action.

Unlike simple "bass shakers" the MAX's transducers produce sounds over the range 1Hz to 800Hz. This does not interfere with the sounds from conventional speakers and subwoofers, but adds that extra bump & grind which could only be produced by speakers too enormous to contemplate in most settings.

Simple to install, powerful, unobtrusive and yet with the ultimate "wow" factor, the Tactile Sound Transducer (TST) is set to become a home cinema essential. Already widely used in theme parks and nightclubs, they cost little but add bucket loads of atmosphere.

The TST is available in 2 models - silver & platinum - depending on the output required. The silver is ideal for use under theatre seats whereas the Platinum will deliver that bit more oomph for use under wood flooring and stages.
