About The ButtKicker LFE
The Guitammer Company has been manufacturing tactile transducers for years. The Buttkicker is their flagship product and is considered one of the best in the industry. The Buttkicker comes in a compact 5.375" x 5.5" package making it easy to place in many home theater installations.

From the Guitammer website, "now everyone can enjoy conversations while watching movies. And, because the low end is effectively isolated to a chair, or a couch, or a suspended wood floor, there is much greater control of sound pressure throughout the entire house. Combined, these attributes make the ButtKicker LFE extremely spouse and neighbor friendly. It virtually eliminates low end sound "bleeding" into adjoining rooms or connected housing. "

BERKLINE “SHAKES” UP THE HOME THEATER SEATING MARKET!
ADDS THE BUTTKICKER® AS A FACTORY INSTALLED OPTION


International Home Furnishings Market, International Home Furnishings Center, Berkline Space C-754, October 13, 2003) – Hang on tight while the mammoth T-Rex stomps across the big screen. Brace yourself for the jolt of the Titanic as it hits the iceberg. And most importantly, affordably transform your living room into a high-tech movie theater. Berkline LLC and The Guitammer Company have brought sound to life with the addition of the ButtKicker® as a factory equipped option to the Berkline Home Theater Seating line.

According to Cabot Longnecker, Merchandising Vice President for Berkline, “The addition of the ButtKicker as a factory installed option for our home theater seating line cements Berkline’s continuing innovative leadership in this dramatic growth segment. Consumers have even more reasons to visit our dealer’s home theater areas as ButtKicker equipped Berkline seating will be on display – live and in action!”

Mark Luden, President of Guitammer adds, “The ButtKicker is a low frequency device that enables the person sitting in the chair to feel rather than hear the low end (bass) of movies and music. Not a vibrating massage chair, the ButtKicker chairs are musically accurate and respond precisely to the bass track of movies and music, or the .1 and LFE channels on 5.1 systems. ButtKicker equipped chairs connect easily to any home theater system and can be installed by consumers and professionals.”

Unlike a subwoofer or speaker, the ButtKicker doesn’t make the room overly loud or carry the sound throughout the entire house or apartment complex. This isolation of the low end within the seating makes ButtKicker equipped chairs a favorite of wives and neighbors.

Designed by musicians and studio engineers, the ButtKicker is musically accurate with a tight, “on-the-beat” response that is not just for movies and special effects, but is equally enjoyable with all types of music. It connects easily to and works well with most any sound system, from a CD player to a complete home theater system.

Video games come alive when played in Berkline’s ButtKicker enhanced seating and an unparalleled level of realism and excitement awaits gamers who use these chairs.

Berkline has affordably priced the ButtKicker option with a modest upcharge per seat equipped with a ButtKicker. Visit you local Berkline furniture retailer for more information and to “feel the experience of home theater.”
