Great review. One thing I’ll mention is going from 15w to 30w isn’t double the power. In order to get double the power you’d need to deliver 150w, or 10x the initial output for a 3db increase. That’s also why these mini amps are so impressive, because they show that you don’t need much power to get decent output, it’s when you want high output that you have to start throwing a lot of electricity and components behind it.
Thanks for the impressions on the nobsound amp. I went with the nobsound G2 mono amp for my testing which worked really well but is of course more expensive. Looking forward to your transducer review, have a great sunday
@@SimRacingCorner Have you had time to test this little amp with this bodyshaker attached to your rig? Is it good enough to power it or would you recommend a more powerful amp? Thanks
@@J273 I've haven't given it a full test so I wouldn't like to say quite yet. I have another more powerful small amp on the way, so I will run a comparison when that arrives.
@@SimRacingCorner thank you, I'm thinking to direct mount one to the bottom of the seat and connect it to right channel but choose the option with out separation and put road effects etc to it, then the other to the pedal plate on the left channel and put TC abs etc to that one. Do you think that's possible with SIM hub and this amp?
@@demiquadfpv3333 You can't separate the effects that way, both channels get the same vibrations. You'll need a second soundcard output and amp to do this.
hey, there are bluetooth audio amps that has no built in sound card. if i take a usb sound card and plug it in the amp usb port will i get a nobsound amp? i only want to use bluetooth without any wires between the pc and the amp and this would be the even cheaper this way.
If you mean plug a Bluetooth adaptor into your PC USB and connect to the Bluetooth on the amp, then yes that will work. Make sure it's a Bluetooth 4.0 dongle, older Bluetooth dongles might not connect to the amp.
@@SimRacingCorner ok, thanks, currently im using a pcie xonar sound card for pc, can i use the motherboard's onboard sound card with the Bluetooth 4.0 adapter?
I am getting ready to mount something similar to my Next Level racing GT Lite. I am going to use two Hole Strap U Bracket Tube Strap Tension Clips. You get the correct size for your tubing on your playseat challenge. It then screws or bolts into a block of wood that you have bolted your transducers to. I am going to use knobs on all my bolts so it will be easy to remove when I fold up my next level racing gt lite.
wow, i like what you are doing here :-) ? are you using simhub? ? could i use 3 of those amps - first front feedback, second rear feedback, third other feedbacks like gear shift and motorrotation ? do i need one soundcard per transducer, or can i run them via USB to avoid soundcard investment
Thank you. 1) I am using SimHub. 2) Yes you can, but for more sophistication separation of effects, you'll need SimVibe. There's also SimShaker which is less expensive, but I haven't used that one. 3) It's one soundcard per amplifier, not per transducer. So if the amplifier has 2 channels you can run 2 transducers off one soundcard. If you have a 4 channel amplifier, that's 4 transducers and one soundcard also. You can use a USB soundcard, or if the amplifier has a built-in USB soundcard, then that will work. Like the amp I'm using here.
What software do you use to get these working? Is it pretty straight forward or do you have to set each SIM up or is it pretty much plug and play? Thanks
Use SimHub, it's free. It's straightforward to setup. SimHub will read the telemetry from the game, and convert that into the vibrations. You can tune the effects per game. In my upcoming review, I'll run through a quick start guide to help beginners out.
@@SimRacingCorner Did you do a simhub review yet? I just ordered the Nobsound 2x100w per channel amp, pretty much the same as this one but with no sound card in built in just AUX and Phone connection. I have no idea how to set this up to make the game telemetry sounds go to the bass shakers and my gaming sound go to my bluetooth head phones or my Oculus rift.
@@JayKullar I am indeed working a basic Bass Shaker setup guide, and that includes a short quickstart on getting up running with SimHub. It will be uploaded next week.
@@SimRacingCorner all my new kit including my sim lab rig arrives today......I'll won't be sleeping tonight lol hopefully I'll figure it all out. One thing though. Do you recommend having the 40w exciters either side of the rig or seat, or doing a front to back configuration? I ordered 2 Dayton Audio DAEX32EP-4 Thrusters.
@@JayKullar Very cool, you definitely made a good choice going with a Sim Lab build. As far as placement goes for the shakers, you may have to experiment a bit. But If you just have 2 of them, then I would recommend both being located either on the front of the rig or both on the seat frame area. A left/right placement is the best position.
