Powersoft to Debut Earth-Shaking New Product at ISE 2019

The new Powersoft Mover will be at the ISE 2019 with live simulations with VR content at their booth

Powersoft has planned to release their new Mover, a small but powerful linear transducer that can be used in audio applications at ISE 2019.

Adaptable to various purposes, including 4D cinemas, theme parks, or venues with vibrating acoustic floors Powersoft Mover lets audiences feel the sound through haptic perception by vibrating the surrounding environment, which the human body picks up and, through bone conduction, translating the vibrations into perceivable frequencies.

A press conference to officially announce Mover will take place on Powersoft’s stand at 3.30pm local time on Tuesday 5 February 2019.

Powersoft Mover is available in two versions; Direct Drive and Inertial Drive. With Direct Drive, Powersoft added a unique and unprecedented experience in which the transducer is anchored to an immovable surface and the moving magnet is directly connected to a movable surface, such as a floating floor or chair. Next, to exciting the surface, Direct Drive is also able to create an offset of +/- 15 mm. So the surface will not only shake but also move to give the audience the sensation of falling off or jumping over an object.

Visitors to Hall 7, Y195 – one of Powersoft’s three booths at ISE – will be able to experience Powersoft Mover first hand on a custom-built platform with VR content. Users standing on the platform and wearing the requisite HTC headset can experience an immersive 360° video while being stimulated through haptic perception.

Powersoft Mover is based on Powersoft’s moving magnet linear motor technology. Introduced in 2013 the Powersoft Mover has; extended power handling, electromagnetic conversion, reliability and maximum SPL. This technology can also be found in the M-Force, which has found its way into earthquake simulators and powerful subwoofers.

Powersoft has now been able to pack this unique technology into Powersoft Mover for applications where shorter travel and less force is required. Powersoft Mover is more accurate, powerful and efficient compared to existing products. It can be used to move floors or seats, both to track video content or transfer audible frequencies.

Powersoft Mover can be used in conjunction with a Powersoft amplifier, especially for the Mover Powersoft has introduced an updated firmware version. A specific subharmonic generator plug-in has been added. This new algorithm transposes the pitch of the frequencies down in order to reproduce ultra-low frequency extension all the way down to 5 Hz.

With the integration of the Powersoft Mover, many experiences like rides, simulators and movie watching can benefit from fast and accurate movements that are in sync with the complete experience. Existing solutions for this suffer either from limited speed, harmonic distortion or limited frequency range.
