Experience your movies, music and games on a whole new level with the BST-1 bass shaker. While traditional speakers only cover the audible sound spectrum, the BST-1 goes further by letting you feel the vibrations of the lowest bass. This innovative technology makes every explosion, bass line and action on screen palpable, making your entertainment experience more intense and immersive than ever before.

Dayton Audio BST-1 High Power Pro tactile Bass Shaker 50 Watts
The human ear can hear a wide range of sounds, but some sounds are simply too low to hear and must be felt by the body. Feeling this extremely low-frequency sound adds a new dimension to your listening, gaming and film experience.
With a Dayton Audio BST-1 bass shaker installed in your home or car sound system, you can feel those low bass tones of the thundering weight of a dinosaur's foot hitting the ground as it approaches. Your favourite action movies come alive as you feel the gunshots and explosions hitting your body! If you love gaming, the BST-1 bass shaker is the perfect addition to your gaming chair or couch! The power and impact of a rugby tackle moves you to the pitch! Feel the recoil of your weapon during gunfights and experience the overwhelming explosions of bombing.
Unlike subwoofers, the BST-1 Bass Shaker will not overload your listening room, and its perceived loudness enhances listening at lower sound volumes. Dayton Audio engineers designed the BST-1 Bass Shaker to reproduce accurate, tactile sensations of your music and movie soundtracks. When a BST-1 bass shaker is installed on a resonant surface, the proportion of the perceptible sound becomes larger than what is normally produced by subwoofers and ordinary speakers. Conventional subwoofers are traditionally considered optimal when you can feel rather than hear the bass. By using a BST-1 bass shaker in your system, this goal is more easily achieved - allowing the subwoofer to perform at a more natural sound level.
A specially formulated nylon/fibre spider and the selection of high-quality hardware components ensure that the BST-1's internal motor structure not only outperforms the competition, but also extends the life of the bass shaker. Simply put, with a Dayton Audio BST-1 bass shaker, you can count on years of enjoyment from amazing, tactile sound effects.
The impedance of the BST-1 bass shaker is 4 ohms. When used in a unit configuration, it should be connected to a stereo or bridged mono amplifier, as you would connect a subwoofer. For more information on your amplifier's impedance rating, refer to the amplifier's manual.
Two or four Dayton Audio BST-1 bass shakers can be used in situations where more bass energy is desired or in larger applications. Connecting two in series will increase the impedance to 8 ohms, connecting two in parallel will reduce the impedance to 2 ohms, and connecting four BST-1 bass shakers in series in parallel will limit the total impedance to 4 ohms. Again, always consult your amplifier's manual to check whether it has the capacity to safely produce the wattage at different impedances.
WARNING: do NOT exceed the standard of 50 watts RMS per bass shaker multiplied by the number of shakers (example: 50 x 4 = 200 watts RMS).
Mounting the bass shaker on chairs or sofas that are not fixed to the floor will achieve the greatest effects. The bass shaker's energy will hit the user's body instead of travelling through the furniture and transferring the energy to the floor. It is highly recommended to isolate the furniture from the floor by using pads or rubber feet. Find a sturdy mounting point for your bass shaker(s) under and/or at the back of the furniture structure. Use four wood screws or dowels to secure the bass shaker to the structure. If a sturdy fastening is not available, it is advisable to make one from hardwood or plywood. Try to avoid dust or padding coming into contact with the tactile transducer. It is important that the BST-1 makes full contact with a solid flat surface. The recommended wire thickness is 13 AWG / 2x2.5mm2 speaker wire.
Mount the bass shaker under the seat of your Sim Rig for maximum effectiveness. Find the point under the seat that vibrates the most by tapping the frame with a rubber or soft mallet. In addition, you can install bass shakers at the foot pedals for realistic feedback from the accelerator and brake. The simrig's frame can also accommodate bass shakers for an even more detailed and immersive experience. Make sure the bass shaker makes full contact with the mounting surface for optimal performance. It is recommended to wire before installation. Use four steel screws or plugs to firmly attach the bass shaker to the simulator frame. The recommended wire thickness is 13 AWG / 2x2.5mm2 speaker wire.
WARNING: Always check locations under carpet and recheck the mounting location to avoid cutting or drilling into existing electrical wiring, airbag sensors, hydraulics, brakes, gas or fuel lines.

Recommended amplifiers for 1-2 bass shakers
Recommended amplifiers for 2-4 bass shakers
Yes, the BST-1 can be connected to most amplifiers suitable for subwoofers. To prevent overloading, make sure your amplifier can handle the right impedance and does not exceed the recommended 50 watts RMS per BST-1.
The number of bass shakers you need depends on the size of your space and your personal preference. We recommend at least 1 BST-1 bass shaker per seat. For sim racing, one shaker per seat is ideal, and you can add extra shakers for foot pedals for a more realistic experience.
To mount the BST-1 bass shaker, we recommend using our specially designed mounting kits. These kits are designed to simplify installation and ensure optimal performance of your bass shaker. Our mounting kit for the BST-1:
For best results, install the bass shaker on chairs or sofas that are not fixed to the floor. Make sure the bass shaker makes full contact with a solid flat surface and use isolation pads or rubber feet to isolate the furniture from the floor. Refer to the installation manual for detailed instructions.
There are many similarities between the Dayton Audio BST-1 and the AuraSound AST-2B-4 Pro. Yet there are some differences, such as the size of the connectors. The AST-2B-4 has a slightly higher sensitivity. The BST-1 is a lot better placed and therefore the best-selling bass shaker at SoundImports!

For what you pay it delivers a good experience,only 50 watts but shakes more than enough, can see my wardrobe mirrors blurr out at 20hz sound tone, if you mount it well you will get the full response to 10hz, now I have two of these attached to a wheel chair, I'm hearing rattles everywhere in the room, so how good it will be to you depends on how well you mount them, sometimes reverse polarity shakes more, or not screwing it too tightly can improve frequency response,how thick the chair is,the thicker the more it absorbs higher frequencies, overall good product, can't go wrong with 2x of these for the the price of one aura shaker...
