Tiyrant

Ordered 12th November from the UK store. Just arrived today.

They're really cool. One of those things that's really hard to come back from when you get used to it. Its especially useful for Helicopters and Warbirds as you can feel when VRS or a stall is about to kick in. Two of them are definitely far too powerful for an office chair, I just needed them for balanced haptics. I usually run the amp at between 20 and 50% volume. Anything past that and I think the neighbours would complain! I also dial the settings down on the shaker software to about 20 - 50% depending on the effect. I don't have any transducers on the pedals. I would like to, but I think it might end up a bit too much for a desk setup. If I got a permanent rig I'd definitely do it.

Same thing on the other side. The wire is routed around the chair using stick on clips. I used some fabric cable sleeves to protect the 'umbilical' going to the amp mounted on the underside of my desk.

Bit late to this topic, but I have 2 50w AuraSound AST-2B-4's screwed directly into the bottom of an IKEA Markus chair. One 50w shaker is easily enough for most 'direct-to-chair' setups, as long as you're able to mount it near the centre line. This wasn't a possibility for me, so when I had just one wired up, the vibration was biased to one side. I added the second one to balance it out. I usually run them at 50% volume then dial the simshaker settings in at between 25 - 75 depending on the effect. Any more than that and my neighbours would probably complain.
