Wiring
When wiring up an exciter, the cables must be routed in such a manner, that they cannot cause any noise by
vibrating or rattling against the surface. If necessary, the wires can be foam-padded to avoid such noise
3. Advantages and disadvantages of the exciter-technology
Advantages
– „invisible“ loudspeaker – no interference with design issues
– perfect protection against environmental influences (weather, water, cleaning agents)
– perfect protection against vandalism
– easy installation
– capable of high quality sound output and a wide sound dispersion angle

– capable of high quality sound output and a wide sound dispersion angle
Disadvantages
– low efficiency factor compared to standard loudspeakers (more output power from the amplifier required)
– Devices that are able to touch the excited surface can cause disturbing noise
– acoustics strongly dependent on material, dimensions and shape of the excited plate

4. Frequently asked questions (FAQ)
– Is a special amplifier required in order to drive a VISATON Exciter?
No. Every VISATON Exciter can be hooked up to a conventional HiFi amplifier
No. Every VISATON Exciter can be hooked up to a conventional HiFi amplifier
– Are there any recommendations regarding a suitable double-sided adhesive tape?
The adhesive tape should be chosen depending on the surface properties at the desired location of the exciter.
The adhesive tape should be chosen depending on the surface properties at the desired location of the exciter.
Manufacturers like 3M have a large variety of suitable tapes in stock
– Are special lead wires required?
No. Conventional loudspeaker cables can be used
No. Conventional loudspeaker cables can be used
– Which materials suit best as an excited plate?
In the following, some examples of materials are listed that give a good sound output:
– sandwich panels with honeycomb structures (e.g. hexagon-structure)
– thin particle boards (e.g. HDF / MDF)
– plexiglass plates
– glass plates / windows (even heavy duty types like compound windowpanes)
