Designed specifically for musician monitoring, stage and studio use, the ButtKicker® Concert has more power in the 40 – 80 Hz range than the ButtKicker® LFE and is ideal for musician monitoring, stage and studio use.
The ButtKicker Concert utilizes a patented magnetic suspension making it more powerful, musically accurate and long lasting than any other shaker or tactile transducer that use voice coil technology.
The ButtKicker is much more powerful, more musical (linear) and offer true infrasonic or low frequency response with its resonant frequency of 9 Hz and range of 5 - 200 Hz.
One ButtKicker Concert has replaced 2 - 4 or more of the other types of shakers previously available, and perhaps more importantly; it is virtually indestructible and maintenance free.
If you are a bass player, drummer, keyboard player, standing performer, use an in ear monitoring system, are a DJ, have a home studio or just love music and low end the ButtKicker Concert is for you.
We invite you to "Feel what you've been missing!"

An Overview of the ButtKicker
"The ButtKicker is a small, linear motor, which reacts to an audio signal sent by an amplifier. It is similar to a loudspeaker, but instead of moving a cone, and transferring sound waves through the air, it attaches to seats and floors, and sends low frequency sound directly into the listener's body. The effect is amazing.
It takes two senses to perceive full range sound. We hear sound, but we also feel sound, especially low frequency. Traditionally, it takes big speakers, moving tremendous amounts of air, to feel the low frequency of sound. People like loud concerts because they want to feel the sound pressure in their bodies.
The ButtKicker reproduces the feeling range of audio in a more direct way than through air. The perception is actually better and sound pressure disappears. When using headphones, for example, with a ButtKicker, the listener perceives powerful, musically accurate, concert-level audio, but no one else hears anything. The sound is completely isolated to the listener.
This becomes very interesting for music monitoring and recording studios. We have several dozen of the top touring bands this summer using ButtKickers for stage monitoring. The ButtKicker gives them complete control over their mix and sound level, without sacrificing any quality. Most musicians tell us immediately that they hear better and play better with the ButtKicker.
In a recording studio, the ButtKicker allows for low volume, incredible isolation.. and, because the ButtKicker was designed to be musically accurate, to fractions of frequencies, studio engineers are finding that their mixes are coming out tighter, cleaner and better balanced.
For example: I am a music writer/producer and studio musician. I do soundtrack work for various commercial companies and stage show producers, in my own little home studio, using computer with Cubase, Sonar, etc. I always use the ButtKicker to check my mixes."
