Introduction
Thank you for purchasing a Clark Synthesis Tactile
Sound®Transducer, and welcome to the amazing world
of Tactile Sound!
Since 1994, Clark Synthesis has been giving its
customers the ability to experience sound in a
completely different way. As you know, most of the
sound we hear reaches our ears via airborne vibrations,
like those produced by loudspeakers. However, there
are four additional pathways through which we perceive
acoustic energy, all of which fall into the category of
tactile sound. These additional pathways include:
Deep tissue and muscle mass•
Skeletal Joints•
Skin Sensation•
Bone Conduction•
To capitalize on these additional means by which we
perceive acoustic energy, Tactile Sound Transducers
have been designed to send high-quality audio to the
listener by producing vibrations over a full range of tactile
and audible frequencies. When attached to a resonant
surface, the Transducers supplement ordinary speakers
and subwoofers, effectively increasing the
proportion of tactile sound. Consequently, you feel the
natural percussive impact of sounds, bringing life to
sound effects like hard footsteps, door slams, plucked
strings, drum beats, and explosive movie effects, all
while enjoying greater clarity, depth, and realism.
Additionally, because Transducers increase the
perceived “loudness” of the sound you are hearing, you
are able to lower the volume on your system to a level
that is both safer for your ears and less bothersome to
neighbors.
Some of the most common applications for Tactile
Sound Transducers include home theaters, listening
rooms, outdoor decks, military simulators, theme park
attractions, game chairs, professional music, and
swimming pools.
In home theaters and listening rooms, our
Transducers provide the user with a greater depth
of experience when watching movies, listening to
music, and playing video games.
For outdoor applications, our AW339 All Weather
Transducers mount underneath decks, keeping the
audio equipment out-of-sight while transferring audio
to the surface of the deck.
Manymilitaryandightsimulatorcompaniesuseour
TST329 Gold Transducers to bring a greater sense of
realism to training exercises.
Pool enthusiasts use our AQ339 Aquasonic™
underwater pool speakers to send full-range audio
into the water, providing high-quality underwater
music.
As you can see, the uses for our Transducers are
many and the experience is amazing! We are glad
you chose Clark Synthesis Transducers and we hope
your listening experience takes you to new levels of
acoustical enjoyment!
Before you drill holes and run wires, take a few moments to review this Installation Guide.
Then plan out the steps you’ll need to take for your particular application. This will save
you time in the end and reduce the possibility of errors and/or damage to the Transducer.

One of the best materials for carrying tactile vibrations is wood.
In most applications, the TST should be centrally located on
the structure (chair, floor, riser, deck, etc.) in order to evenly
distribute the tactile effect. When two or more TSTs are used
on one structure, they should be spaced equidistant from each
other and the edges/boundaries of the structure. Mounting to a
bridge, joist, or frame member is preferred.
NOTE: The TST329 and AW339 Transducers are designed to be mounted in any
orientation. The TST239 and TST429 transducers are designed to be mounted in
a horizontal orientation ONLY.

Installation: Chairs & Couches
As a general rule, most chairs and couches have an
underlying wooden frame. The Transducer can be
mounted directly to a frame member or to a hardwood
bridge that is rigidly secured to chair or couch’s bottom
frame. The bridge should be at least 3/4" thick and cut
to span the two frame members or connect two sides
of a box frame. The more centrally located the frame
member or bridge is on the overall structure, the better
the distribution of tactile sound.
For best results, the Transducer should be parallel to the
ground (horizontal) so that the motion is up and down as
opposed to sideways. The Transducer can be mounted
to either the top or bottom of the bridge. When attaching
the Transducer to the top of the bridge, be sure that the
Transducer and the wiring does not interfere with any
recliner mechanism. When attaching the Transducer
to the bottom of the bridge, be sure that the Transducer
does not touch the floor.
A chair or couch with armrests is preferred since a
significant amount of tactile sensation is felt in the hands
and arms. Transducer mounted

Installation: Traditional Floors & Platforms
TRADITIONAL FLOORS
Transducers may be mounted under a floor by attaching a
hardwood bridge between adjacent floor joists, or by installing
a 2” x 6” bridge with a curved niche. When installing under a
floor, access may be from the basement or the ceiling below the
floor. The TST will be mounted to a bridge connected between
adjacent floor joists.
If your goal is to excite the area of the floor directly beneath a
chair, then attach the Transducer to the closest joist underneath
the chair.
Note: Carpeting and padding may reduce the tactile effect.
PLATFORMS
Recommendation: Clark Synthesis recommends using only
TST429 Platinum Transducers for platforms. Use of (1) TST429
Platinum Transducer for every 4 ft. by 8 ft. area of the platform is
suggested.
Platforms are a great alternative to mounting a
Transducer directly to a chair. This method is especially practical
in home theaters with multiple rows of seating placed on
platforms. An activated platform will deliver tactile sensations to
your feet as well as the rest of your body via the chair.
Whether constructing a new platform or fitting Transducers onto
an existing one, it is best to space the Transducers an equal
distance from each other and the edges of the platform. If using
only one Transducer, locate the Transducer in the center of
the platform. Be sure to leave a way to access the Transducer
should service be required.
To minimize energy loss into the floor, use Isolation Feet
between the platform and the floor. Do not glue a platform to a
concrete floor.
Clark Synthesis recommends using plywood or hardwood for the
platform’s top surface. DO NOT USE MDF (medium-density
fiberboard). We highly recommend using adhesive and
screws instead of nails. Loose fitting joints can cause unwanted
vibrations and buzzing noises.

two Jam Nuts
against each
other to screw
in Hanger Bolt
using wrench.

Measure the overall dimensions of the deck. For best results, it is recommended that one (1) AW339
be installed for every 10 ft. by 10 ft. (3 m by 3 m) section of deck. For example, if you have a deck that
is 10 ft. by 20 ft. (3 m by 6 m), you would need to install two (2) AW339 transducers on that deck.
The transducer should be mounted in a location that is equally spaced from the sides of the deck and
other transducers. As general examples, the diagrams below provide top views of 10 ft. by 10 ft. (3 m
by 3 m) and 10 ft. by 20 ft. (3 m by 6 m) deck surfaces with the transducers mounted equal distances
from each other and from the edges of the deck.
If the deck is a custom shape, approximate the placement of the transducers using the general
recommendation of one transducer for every 100 ft.2(9 m2).

When determining the actual mounting location(s), it is important to decide which type of mounting
style you want to use. There are two commonly used mounting styles: the joist mount or the bridge
mount. See the diagrams of each style below.

3Ifyouareusingthejoistmount,determinethegeneralmountinglocationandthenndtheclosest
joist support for that location. Drill a 5/16” (.79 cm) pilot hole that is approximately 2 inches (5 cm)
deep into the joist. Place two (2) Jam Nuts on the Hanger Bolt and tighten the nuts together (see the
joist style diagram on the previous page). Turn the Hanger Bolt into the joist up to the place on the
bolt where the threads change from wood threads to machine threads. Loosen and remove one of
the Jam Nuts.
Lifting the transducer up to the Hanger Bolt, place the transducer’s brass mounting nut onto the
machine thread side of the Hanger Bolt. Insuring not to cross-thread the Hanger Bolt into the brass
nut, gently turn the transducer 5 to 6 complete revolutions. If you feel resistance, stop immediately.
CAUTION: DO NOT OVERTIGHTEN.
Spin the Jam Nut that is still on the Hanger Bolt down to the brass nut and, using two wrenches (one
on the Jam Nut and one on the brass nut), tighten the Jam Nut against the brass nut.
CAUTION: DO NOT TIGHTEN THE JAM NUT TO THE BRASS NUT BY TURNING THE
TRANSDUCER. THIS WILL RESULT IN SEVERE DAMAGE TO THE TRANSDUCER AND WILL
VOID THE WARRANTY.
4If you are using the bridge mount, determine which type of bridge you want to use (straight or arched).
If you are using the arched bridge style, cut the arch using the dimensions shown on the previous
page.
Cutthelengthofthebridgeboardtotsnuglybetweenthetwosupportjoists.Thebridgeboardmust
be at least 3/4” (1.9 cm) thick. Screw the bridge board securely between the support joists. Follow the
directions for installing the Hanger Bolt and the transducer under Step 3, above.
5Once the transducer is mounted to the Hanger Bolt, run exterior grade speaker wire from your audio
equipment(receiverand/oramplier)tothewireleadonthetransducer.Connectthewires,insuring
the splice is as waterproof as possible. Your AW339 All-Weather transducer is now ready to enjoy.

Wiring & Connections
HOME THEATER
There are several different ways to hook up your system in terms of which source material (signal)
isdeliveredtotheamplier(s)andTransducer(s).Sinceourinception,wehavediscoveredthat
approximately half of our customers prefer using the LFE/SUB signal with their Transducers. The other
half prefer using the Right Front (RF) and Left Front (LF) signals. Additionally, there are a few people
who like to use multiple signals concurrently. In the following instructions, we provide you with general
diagrams for each of these hookup methods.
LFE/SUB Hookup
The LFE, SUB, or Subwoofer output is the signal that you send to the subwoofer.
If your receiver has only one LFE/SUB/Subwoofer output port, connect a “Y” adapter to that output.
This will allow you to split the signal between the Transducer and the subwoofer. To do this properly,
connectyoursubwoofertoonesideofthe“Y”adapter.Connecttheampliertotheothersideofthe
“Y” adapter. To reduce the amount of noise produced when using this signal, use another “Y” adapter
cablewhenconnectingtotheamplier.ThiswillallowyoutoconnectthesignalintoboththeLeftand
Right inputconnectorsontheamplier.

For this hookup, connect the RF and LF Pre-AmpOutputstotheamplierinputs.
NOTE: Not all receivers have Pre-Amp outputs for the Right Front and Left Front outputs. If you
have a question about your receiver’s outputs, please consult your owner’s manual or contact your
receiver’s manufacturer.
Multiple Signal Hookup
Thiscongurationisalittlemorecomplicated.Youwillneedasmallmixer to make this work.
