Kick Butt with Sony Play Station 3

Lewisville, Tex. (PRWEB) November 15, 2006 -- Doctor Sound has a prescription for everyone standing in line for Sony's long-awaited Play Station 3 game console launch Friday - a kick in the pants from ButtKicker® that will let you feel the excitement, not just see and hear it .

Doctor Sound President Keith Prather says consumers and the industry alike have gotten excited as details of the PS3 have come to light. "With the new Cell Broadband Engine™ processor and Blu-ray Disc™ technology for high-definition images, everybody knows this is a serious advancement in gaming and home entertainment capabilities," Prather said.

"But people who really want to feel the bone crunching hits of Madden NFL 07 football or the pulse-pounding, off-road racing in MotorStorm™ will want a ButtKicker to really get in the game," Prather added.

The ButtKicker is a small, linear motor that reacts to audio signals from an amplifier. Similar to a speaker, it transfers low frequency sound directly to the listener's body through seats and floors instead of through the air. The effect can be startling.

For parents who want to turn up the quiet on kids' gaming, the ButtKicker is the perfect solution. Turn the subwoofer off, turn the ButtKicker on and use a headset; the sound becomes a totally private experience that doesn't travel from room-to-room.

Prather says ButtKicker has been popular in home theater installations for some time. "Special effects, including a whole range of sounds - such as earthquakes, thunderstorms, rocket launches and explosions - and all types of music take on a new dimension with a ButtKicker installed in home theater seating," Prather said. "Doctor Sound can add it to existing theater seats, even your favorite lounge chair, and it comes pre-installed on some new theater seating."

Doctor Sound carries a variety of ButtKicker products to accommodate a wide range of home seating, including a unit that attaches to most center-post, office-style chairs. Doctor Sound's industry certified technicians are available for consultation on all home entertainment system designs and installations, even for equipment purchased elsewhere.
