DO NOT DROP THE Transducer- The Transducer can be damaged both internally and externally if it is dropped. 2. DO NOT EXPOSE THE Transducer TO HIGH DISTORTION LEVELS- Exposing the Transducer to high levels of distortion may damage the unit. If the Transducer stops playing, it is likely that the built-in protection circuit has activated.

Supplied Parts SUPPLIED PARTS (ILLUSTRATED BELOW) REQUIRED TOOLS AND MATERIALS A. (1) Transducer Depending on your application, you will need some B. (1) Unimount Bracket or all of the following tools and materials: C. (1) 3/8”-16 x 3” Hanger Bolt D. - Page 5 General Information Wood is one of the best conductors of tactile vibrations. In most applications, the Transducer should be centrally located on the structure (chair, floor, riser, deck, etc.) in order to evenly distribute the tactile effect. When two or more Transducers are used on one structure, they should be spaced equidistant from each other and the edges/boundaries of the structure.

Page 8: Installation: Chairs And Couches
Installation: Chairs & Couches As a general rule, most chairs and couches have an underlying wooden frame. The Transducer can be mounted directly to a frame member or to a hardwood bridge that is rigidly secured to chair or couch’s bottom frame. The bridge should be at least 3/4" thick and cut to span the two frame members or connect two sides of a box frame. - Page 9 Transducer to the closest joist underneath the chair. Note: Carpeting and padding may reduce the tactile effect. Mounting Detail PLATFORMS & STAGING Clark Synthesis recommends using only TST429 Platinum 3” (7.6 cm) Transducers or AW439 All-Weather™ Pro 2X Transducers for 5-1/2” (14 cm) Jam Nut platforms and staging.

Page 10: Installation: Laminated I-Beam Floors
Installation: Laminated I-Beam Floors Laminated I-Beam Joists The Transducer mounts on 1"x 6" hardwood bridge spanning two joists, using the unimount bracket (shown) or the threaded stud with T-nut. Attach the bridge to the bottom face of the joists using adhesive and screws.

Page 12: Installation: Wood Decks
Installation: Wood Decks Measure the overall dimensions of the deck. The vibrations radiate approximately 10-12 ft. (3-3.5 m) from the transducer. For best results, it is recommended that one AW439 All-Weather™ Pro 2X be installed for every 20 ft. by 20 ft. (6 m by 6 m) section of deck. For example, if you have a deck that is 10 ft. by 40 ft. (3 m by 12 m), you would need to install two AW439 All-Weather™... - Page 13 Installation: Wood Decks If you are using the joist mount, determine the general mounting location and then find the closest joist support for that location. Drill a 5/16” (.79 cm) pilot hole that is approximately 2 inches (5 cm) deep into the joist. Place two jam nuts on the hanger bolt and tighten the nuts together (see the joist style diagram on the previous page).

If you are unsure if your amplifier meets these specifications, contact the amplifier manufacturer. If you have further questions, call Clark Synthesis. HOME THEATER There are several different ways to hook up your system in terms of which source material (signal) is delivered to the amplifier(s) and Transducer(s).

NOTE: Not all receivers have pre-amp outputs for the RF and LF outputs. If you have a question about your receiver’s outputs, please consult your owner’s manual or contact your receiver’s manufacturer.
