In the dynamic world of audio technology, the journey to technological accessibility is advancing at a dazzling pace.
I’ve been installing bass shakers for a few years now, and what always amazed me was what happens when deaf people sit on a vibrating couch. Officially, the Bass Shaker is designed for home theaters, but this amazing product makes a whole frequency range accessible that was not accessible until now. Friends with hearing impairment I’ve met at festivals say that in order to enjoying the music, they have to stick to the speakers, and even then the touch mostly passes through the hands. In this article, we will explore the benefits of bass shakers with the focus on using vabration to provide immersive audio experience for the deaf community.
Immersive Journey: The Power of Vibration
Bass Shakers work on a simple but powerful principle – they convert low audio frequencies into vibrations and allow the deaf audience to feel the music physically all over the body. The experience enriches movies and music without the constraints of standard sound systems. The vibrations not only amplify the bass notes but also vibrate them precisely to the music which is playing.
An environment accessible to everyone: Breaking the sound barrier
Standard subwoofers and speakers rely on the use of airborne sound waves that limit the experience for the hearing impaired. On the other hand, Bass Shaker introduces a new dimension to a musical experience that relies on vibration and touch. Like a hearing aid, the Bass Shaker not only vibrates the body, it sends waves to the inner ear bones and provides a complete hearing experience for everyone. The deaf community can now have fun with everyone at movies and listening to music. Also, the Bass Shaker is not an individual speaker, it connects to the furniture so that everyone sitting on the furniture has the same experience.
Practical, efficient and affordable
The cost of Bass Shaker versus the value and power of the experience is excellent. For the cost of a mediocre subwoofer, you can get an experience that feels like sitting on a club system. What’s more, you can turn up without fear of disturbing the neighbors because the bass shaker doesn’t produce sound waves in the air. There are also wearable models designed for the individual that I will review in the future, but for now I see a huge advantage that everyone enjoys whithout the hassle of something to put on and remove every time. All you need to do is to sit down and enjoy.
Customization: tailor the sound to just the right dimensions
One of the main advantages of the Bass Shaker is its versatility. Almost any piece of furniture with a flat surface can be converted with just a few screws. There is a detailed guide here on how anyone can install at home.
Summery
Bass Shaker is a revolutionary tool with which you can finally feel what everyone else hears. I hope that slowly more work and entertainment environments such as cinemas, pubs and clubs will install bass shakers for the hearing impaired audience. You can find here on the site guides, purchase links and all the information in an organized way. Of course, I am available for questions in contact or on social media.
