Feel those bass frequencies in your body?

I want one. If you get it, let us know how you like it.

I'll have to check that out, Michael. I'm sure I can put one on a stool or something. Currently, I'm standing so maybe I can rig one up to my backpack.

I bought a cheap ($15) "bass shaker" and attached it to the side of my pinball machine. It did nothing, not even a little. So if you get a bass shaker, get a good one. Though I prefer a real subwoofer.

I bought a Dayton Audio BST-1 and attached it to the bottom of an onstage stands padded keyboard seat. I paid about $100 for the shaker and a small amp. It's interesting.

First of all, it's not totally silent. Maybe it's because the seat is resonating but you can definitely hear it. It's not as loud as a subwoofer, of course, but when matched to a house curve-calibrated sub, it's not suitable for midnight jamming in an apartment.

Secondly, I currently recommend getting one. Even at lower levels, it's exactly what I was hoping for. I remember reading on GS awhile back that you should be able to feel your subwoofer's effect in your feet. Well, I use this seat as a foot rest so problem solved.

I've only had it for a few days so I might be in the honeymoon phase. Besides, I've had to turn it off. This is because I don't want to constantly be turning the knob on this cheap amp so I'm waiting for a headphone amp so I can use a proper line output. It does run fine from the Babyface's spare headphone/line amp but it doesn't work from the Focusrite Octopre Dynamic's line outs.

This is something I've wanted for quite some time. The next one I'll get is the one from Aura. Supposedly it works to lower frequencies but is less sensitive. That'll be a good compliment to this one which supposedly has a resonant frequency of 30Hz but, at least when attached to this small bench, I feel like it doesn't well-represent that range.

Good to see you.  The shaker I got is a passive 50w @ 4ohms.  If you have that kind of amp on hand, it'll be a small investment for you.  Or, if you want, I can let you borrow mine.  

You'd probably do this but I find it best to calibrate with pink noise.  Just adjust the shaker to feel how the sub sounds.  Actually, with this headphone amp I can't quite get it as intense as with the Babyface.  Regardless, I don't mind the effect being a little less strong.

Be warned - you'll want two!

I have a sub pac, the one that attaches to the back of the chair.

I have a small home studio, mostly for producing electronic music.

I also have 2x 10" subwoofers set up doing selective mode cancellation, and a pair of good monitors.

A lot of thick bass traps. The room is kind of like a 'body headphone' - it sounds awesome from the LP, but anywhere else in the room is no good.

The sound in the room is already good enough, but I use the sub pac turned down low to give a slightly somatic quality to the kick drums and other low end. The way the subwoofers are set up, there is also a subtle vibration / air movement around my feet and legs.

Other people might have different tastes / needs from their studio, i.e. different kinds of music, different aims with the production they're doing etc.

For me it's not an essential part of the system, but I prefer having it.
