Torvin has designed over 40 varieties of speakers, 20 Varieties of amplifiers including vaccum tube amplifiers, 15 types of home theatre system packages.

Torvin Technologies Private Limited has introduced Buttkicker 2 shaker, a product from U.K, first time in India. Buttkicker 2 shaker is a revolutionary alternative to a subwoofer. The generic term is a "shaker" but the Buttkicker 2 shaker is anything but generic by virtue of its innovative movement technology. It is a small audio transducer, which reacts to an audio signal sent by an amplifier. The Buttkicker LFE (low frequency effects) is very different from any other speakers or shakers.

Buttkicker 2 shaker will delight and electrify yourself and others with an affordable and easy to use solution. When this device is mounted against a fixture such as a couch or the floor, you can feel vibrations that have been channeled, through a transducer. The resulting effect is that it will make you feel a real effect. You can be felt any type of sound as you wish. The sound is completely isolated to the listener. The Buttkicker 2 shaker gives complete control over the mix and sounds level, without sacrificing any quality.

The only tactile transducer designed specifically to take advantage of the .1 and LFE channels, the ButtKicker 2 LFE features extended low frequency response for powerful bass response and special effects.

The ButtKicker LFE (low frequency effects) utilizes a patented magnetic suspension which is different from any other speaker or shaker and can be used couches, theater seating, platforms, and any type of structure. The ButtKicker accurately reproduce the "feeling" range of many natural and man-made sounds, such as earthquakes, thunderstorms, rocket launches, waves, explosions, tornadoes, volcanoes, dinosaurs, sound effects and all styles of music.

Different from other shakers or tactile transducers that use voice coil technology, the ButtKicker is much more powerful, more musical (linear) and offer true infrasonic or low frequency response with their resonant frequency of 9 Hz and range of 5 - 200 Hz.

One ButtKicker LFE will easily replace 2 - 4 or more of the other types of shakers previously available, and perhaps more importantly; it is virtually indestructible and maintenance free. The ButtKicker is used in: Theme park attractions; Specialty theaters; Simulators; Virtual reality machines; Arcade and amusement rides/games; and Custom Home theaters.

If you are looking to delight and electrify yourself and others with an affordable and easy to use solution, now is the time to incorporate the ButtKicker into your design.

Buttkicker 2 shaker is used in home theaters, theaters, amusement parks, clubs, entertainment groups like Disney, Imax, Hershey parks & universal studio, drummers and bass players for touring bands such as The who, Creed, Rod Stewart, Pink, Charlie Daniels, Counting Crows and many more use the Buttkicker 2 shaker as part of their in ears monitoring system also.

The World Of Tactile Sound

In home theatre, or in real life, for that matter, there's two kinds of sounds that we experience. Audible sound is what our hearing system detects, and of course is what our speakers deliver to our ears when we experience movies or music. Tactile sound, on the other hand, is sound that we don't necessarily just pick up with our ears, but can also feel, either as air shaking and/or vibrations through the ground, the floor, the walls etc., caused by the mass movement of air. Subwoofers add immeasurably to the experience of a film, and movie soundtracks are produced with content targeted for subwoofers because of the realism and visceral effect that is possible with them.

A tactile transducer is a device which is something like a speaker. The difference is that rather than driving a cone diaphragm to transduce input electrical signals to sound, an electromagnetic source, usually a voice coil, drives a substantial mass, which in turn imparts inertia on the outer enclosure, causing it to "shake." When this device is mounted against a fixture, such as a couch or the floor, you feel vibrations in concert with the low frequencies that have been channeled through the transducer. The result, in many cases, is a convincing feeling of realism and an emotional jolt with explosions, earthquakes, tornadoes and whatever else you can think of that can be felt
