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.

Feel What You’ve Been Missing
"The ButtKicker has helped me to feel my bass drum
as well as hear it. Oftentimes the sound of my bass
drum is lost with the bass. The ButtKicker has
changed all of that." David Garibaldi–Tower of Power
"It’s great! I have gotten used to the way it feels.
When I go to the clubs, and I don’t have it under
me, I feel lost without it. I’m like, ‘Where did it go?’” Brad Hardgreaves–drummer for Third Eye Blind
"It’s the only one that does what it’s suppose to
do without breaking" Scott Boculac–monitor for Creed
"...The ButtKicker is practical and natural...since
I play in an unnatural situation, with ear buds and
Plexiglas walls. I really like the ButtKicker. It helps
me a lot. Makes a huge impact." Marvin “Smitty” Smith–drummer for the NBC Tonight Show Band

Overview:
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 over 90 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.
