– Why does VISATON provide no information about frequency response, transmission range or efficiency fac-
tor of the exciters?
These parameters are dependent on the material, the dimensions and the shape of the excited plate, and there-
fore hardly predictable. To give an example, the frequency response of a VISATON EX 60 S exciter, mounted
onto two different types of plates, is depicted below. As can be seen in the graph, a harmonic and balanced fre-
quency response over a wide spectrum can be obtained with both plates. Even music playback with a decent
sound quality can be conducted successfully with such an arrangement.

– How does an exciter-equipped plate behave when suspended close to a wall (like a painting)?
If mounted close to a wall, especially the low frequencies cancel out due to the bilateral sound output of the ex-
If mounted close to a wall, especially the low frequencies cancel out due to the bilateral sound output of the ex-
cited plate. The rearward sound is reflected by the wall and, because of the negative polarity, subtracted from
the front-side sound output. The closer the excited plate is located to a wall, the weaker the sound output at
low frequencies.
