Rig Report - Peter Winkler

Hey Peter, how do you mount these BST under or on the seat?

 

[Peter Winkler]

stick them with 3m dual lock

Hello Peter,

Beautiful Qubic build. Can I ask you how you mounted the triple monitors? I have a motion system with a Samsung G9 and it works well, but I would rather have triples but always assumed it would be impossible to mount them and not have them shaking and banging against each other.

Franks Rig Report

Dear All, Welcome to my rig report. After posting my rig in the "Show us your Rig / Cockpit" thread, I was encouraged to start a separate rig report. Although it feels a little bit overly ambitious, I'm following the same structure as Peter Winkler's Rig Report. I'm going to keep track of the...

Another Game-Changer

Let me explain - first the new setup charts.

Wit the latest introduction of BST-1 and BST-300EX i missed tactile soundcard outputs for my Exciters - which are still mounted to my OMP bucket seat. I tested but i did not come to a serious result on their tactile future.

After reading some exciter related audio articles i came to the conclusion that the EXC could be a loudspeaker, as it was designed by DAYTON. Mounted to a glas or wood surface you will get an amazing loudspeaker, so i thought, maybe my bucket seat can act as additional speaker for my 5.1 system.

After some testing with my pioneer 5.1 i was already quite happy, but the Pinoeer was not able to deliver any analoge output. Hence i was working with different HDMI extractor units to share a stereo signal with my DSP/EPQ304 (serving 4 EXC at my bucket seat). This caused some disadvantages when it comes to 5.1 output - no HDMI extractor was able to share 5.1 to my Pioneer. So i decided to swap the Pioneer which a spare Denon able to feed different analoge sources.

With this setup i have different options to serve my OMP loudspeaker.
- rear speakers in a 7.1 setup
- duplicated front speakers in a 5.1 setup
- duplicated rear speakers in a 5.1 setup

The result - its just outstanding - in terms of audio effects it feels like starting our Porsche GT3 in real live - you get this goose flesh experience when you press the start button. On the sim track there is the same addon.

In addition the EXC created a slight tactile effect. Very nice, but as soon i turn on the tactile this is no longer needed - but maybe non tactile users would appreciate the effect.

The final test - what happens to the EXC based sound when the entire tactile units are active - so far is was not able to identify any negative point - its just working and delivers for my setup and outstanding new immersion effect.

OMG, this upgrade is overdue
but now the LMP2 got the needed new back in carbon

 

[Peter Winkler]

many thanks my good old Ender 5 - you did an amazing job - 2 weeks and only one failed print - stuck nozzle

soon i can start the voron 2.4 work

how to change a cube controls accu

open it, identify the accus specs, oder a new one, solder it, assemble it
25EUR and 30min later you have a working cube

Voron build started

just an amazing DIY project. I need to slow down the build to have some steps left at the end of this xmas holidays.

2 guys, born in 1977, locked up in the basement, Mr Weller and Mr Winkler - i hope we will not get any guests nor any unimportant meetings . I just like to enjoy this amazing project. Adding inserts is like a therapy - super relaxing after a hard working year.

Merry Christmas to all fans of my report - yes, this is one of my Good Vibrations Exciters.

after some hassle - had to redo the entire cabling - always funny if you have 2 different manuals and you go for the wrong one

but there is no smarter way to learn your system/printer
that the current stage - i think HW and electronics are ready - time for configurations and testing

back to Tactile - as i was still looking for new Exciter Jobs - 4 of them do an excellent job as additional 5.1 speakers - i was wondering what i should do with the left ones

so i decided to mount them to the wheelbase
ATTENTION - please do not copy paste without understanding the limits and tech details

The result is just amazing - due to our professional isolation the steering has no tactile feedback - something i do not like and i miss when i compare with driving on the real track

i did not test a lot - the 300 is different to the bst-1
i see certain benefits combining them

i stopped having left/right effects - it does not give me any benefit
in my setup left/right is just to have more seat vibration coverage

one 300 is definitely the same if not more power than 2 BST-1
but again - in combination they are really great

for the seat i would think of 1 300 plus 2 BST
for the pedals - 1 300

such setup you can run with one 4 channel amp - eg the epq304 or the tracks amp

Thanks for this input (in reply to another poster). I currently have two BST-1s under my pedal deck and a BST-1 attached to a metal sheet under the seat (seat/plate are isolated). With the different characteristics the 300EX offers, would it make sense to replace the seat BST-1 with the 300EX and move the BST-1 to the back of the seat?

Should the 300EX be attached directly to the bottom of the seat vs. attached to a metal sheet connected to the seat frame?

Sorry, last question, since I have you - Should I nix the two BST-1s under my pedal deck for another 300EX? I'm just not familiar enough with the sound/vibration differences between the two to understand the best option.

Brilliant work in this thread. Loved reading through it just now. Thanks!

imo a good solution - 2 BST-1 and 1 BST-300ex mounted directly to your seat - like i did
i had better results having the 300 back of the seat instead of under the seat
BUT - i am driving the 300 only with my epq - so not at the edge - but enough for the direct seat solution - if you mount it on the isolated seat plate you maybe can get more WATT - but as i have LFE/TST at this stage i have no comparison.
all depends to you setup/isolation and finally expectations

when it comes to front - i still prefer to feed areas your body is connected to
body - seat
feet - pedals - first step pedal arms - 2nd step full pedal deck isolation (but here you need very strong units)
wheelbase - as presented still in early stage

some time ago i made a setup guide which is posted at the german forum - maybe a good idea to post it here too
