Aviom BOOM-1 Aviom

The BOOM System is designed to dramatically enhance a performer’s personal mixing experience by adding powerful, optimally-processed low-frequency tactile information to any in-ear or headphone monitor mix.

Designed by the personal monitor experts, the BOOM System is easy to use and provides a natural low-frequency extension to your monitoring environment. The BOOM System products are compatible with all Aviom personal mixing systems and can easily be connected to any audio device that can provide a headphone or line-level output. In addition to the main unit, the BOOM-1 Tactile Transducer Processor, there’s a BOOM System tactile transducer for every member of the band.

Tactile transducers are especially beneficial to performers using electronic drum kits, as well as guitar and bass amp simulators. Why? Because playing an acoustic drum kit or an electric guitar or bass through an amp actually vibrates the floor and this vibration becomes part of the live performance experience. When you switch to an electronic drum kit or a modeled amp system without speaker cabinets, those natural vibrations are eliminated. …Until now.

Made for musicians using in-ears 

In-ear monitors provide a detailed and personal monitoring experience. Adding a well processed low-frequency tactile transducer (also known as a ‘bass shaker’) to a drum throne, keyboard seat, guitarist’s stool, performance platform, or even to the floor of a stage, allows the body to feel bass frequencies, adding realism to the mix. The BOOM-1 Tactile Transducer Processor brings Aviom-optimized DSP to the tactile experience.

Being able to hear and feel your mix can significantly improve the user experience when using in-ear monitors and/or headphones, providing powerful sound usually achieved only with high volume and large, high quality speaker cabinets.

A Great Combination

Using personal mixers and IEMs/headphones along with tactile transducers allows performers to achieve powerful, exciting monitor mixes at lower in-ear levels. This reduces sound-level-induced fatigue allowing longer, more enjoyable performances while also promoting long-term hearing health.

Aviom makes adding tactile transducers to your monitoring system as easy as possible by providing a set of products that are designed to be plug-and-play simple. We’ve partnered with some of the industry’s leading manufacturers to offer tactile-enhanced versions of their products that can be directly connected to the BOOM-1 Tactile Transducer Processor.

It’s Simple To Set Up

The BOOM-1 processor can be added to any personal mixer or to mixing consoles. All that’s required is a stereo headphone output or a dedicated mono line-level output. BOOM-1 takes care of the rest.

•   Connect the TRS stereo headphone output from a Personal Mixer to the BOOM-1 Tactile Transducer Processor’s headphone-level input.

•   For A360 Personal Mixers there’s even a dedicated XLR line-level input on the BOOM-1 rear panel. Just connect a standard mic cable from the the A360’s Mono Mix Out jack instead of using the Headphone output.

For mixing consoles, connect any aux send to the BOOM line input.

•   Connect the Transducer Out to your tactile transducer using a locking-style speaker cable.

That’s it; connect your earbuds or headphones and you’re ready to start mixing.

The Strength setting controls how much of the source signal from your mix is sent to the tactile transducer. Use the Feel control to choose an optimized DSP setting from Tight to Loose that best suites you and your music.
