thanks so much, this github link you shared is making lot of sense.
The pucks I found are sold as a pair so even getting 2pairs wont break the bank and get me anywhere near the Buttkicker import costs even with a decent amplifier added to the equation
Lepys have good reputation in Japan, on Amazon or Kakaku websites, and the Japanese are usually picky with electronics as you can guess....
I just need to figure out what spec to go for, how many channels, wattage etc so I will need to study a bit
As per the capture of input,I am running triple screens or TV set-up depending of my mood when I Simrace so using Voicemeeter I have installed on my PC and run for other cases (multi audio for home-theater virtual surround like),I am thinking that the for example with the TV use scenario, the Game sound would go through the HDMI cable connected to my PC and I would use my Motherboard line out connected to the amp/bass shakers with Voicemeeter set as dual output TV+Motherboard
Makes sense or I am being optimistic?
Merci encore!
Concerning the audio setup it looks fine indeed, take care of voicemeter it allows lot of things, so it's easy to end with bass shaker and game sound mixed on your headset/tv/speaker (just a matter of configuration, but sometimes it can be hard to untangle
)
About the lepy, I had no troubles myself, I had one on the early days when I was evaluating if I would dig into shakers support (I'm now running on stronger amps), but on the last month I had 3 or 4 people asking for help on discord and it ended to be a dead lepy. Coincidence, bad batch, really I can't say
, it was cheaper models however, it may count.
Concerning the ideal setup as the lepy you picked is 45w per channels and pucks 15w, it's the perfect match,
You have multiple choices,
The dayton pucks comes in various impedance (ohms) depending of the final configuration you will have to pick the correct models as shown below
2 channels + 2 transducters:
- 1 LEPY + 2 x 8ohms pucks
2 channels + 4 transducters:
- 1 LEPY + 2 x 16ohms puck (they will be mounted in series on each channels to get an optimal impedance for the amp of 8ohm)
4 channels + 4 transducters:
- 2 LEPYs + 4 x 8 ohms pucks
NB : The "sub" output of the lepy can't count as a separate output, it will probably mix both channels and filter it to get the bass output, this is not suitable in our case.
