The idea

Frequencies you can feel.

The BM1 turns a bench into an instrument. Mounted beneath it, it sets the whole bench into resonance with the APOLLON frequencies and carries them straight into the body.

Inside a housing only 35 millimetres high sits a high-flux neodymium motor with its suspension integrated directly into the motor core. That architecture delivers up to 155 newtons of peak force and ±9 millimetres of controlled excursion without the height of a conventional transducer. It is far more than a bass shaker: across its range of 17 Hz to 1 kHz it transfers the APOLLON frequencies into the bench, and its flat force response keeps layered frequencies distinct instead of collapsing them into one generic shake. Double steel suspension, an aluminium housing that doubles as a heat sink and an IP66 rating make it built for continuous duty. In AudioCrypt Sensory Fusion it is the bench resonance, time aligned with the room resonance and the foundation.

01Highlights

Why it stands out

  1. 01

    APOLLON frequency transfer

    Not just bass. The BM1 brings the bench into resonance with the APOLLON frequencies and sends them through the bench directly into the body.

  2. 02

    Precise bench resonance

    A flat, controlled working range across 20 to 150 Hz keeps layered frequencies separate, using the full range of body perception.

  3. 03

    155 N peak force

    Up to 155 newtons of peak force from a compact unit. It does not simply vibrate, it delivers a precise physical impulse.

  4. 04

    ±9 mm excursion

    Controlled long-throw movement gives depth and authority without bottoming out, even under high-impact signals.

  5. 05

    Ultra-slim 35 mm

    The suspension is integrated into the motor core, making it up to 45 percent shorter than conventional designs with no loss of excursion.

  6. 06

    Efficient motor

    An ultra-light, high-flux neodymium motor with oversized coils gives 4.5 N per watt, strong output from moderate amplification.

  7. 07

    Zero plastic

    Double steel suspension and a high-grade aluminium housing. Industrial-grade durability throughout.

  8. 08

    IP66 rated

    Sealed against dust and moisture, with an aluminium housing that doubles as a heat sink. Ready for spa, wellness and continuous duty.

  9. 09

    Two mounting options

    Screwed directly to the bench, or fixed with 3M Dual Lock professional mounting tape. Symmetric suspension works in any orientation without rattle.

02Technology

Integrated motor architecture

A tactile transducer moves a mass rather than air. As its motor drives the moving assembly, the reaction force passes through the housing into whatever it is fixed to, turning a bench into a radiating surface the body can feel. Most transducers stack the suspension on top of the motor, which adds height and limits travel. In the BM1 the suspension is integrated directly into the motor core, so it stays ultra-slim while keeping full excursion and force.

Materials

A high-grade aluminium housing with deep cooling fins, a double steel suspension and an aluminium basket. Pure metal construction with zero plastic.

Motor

An FEA-optimised, high-flux neodymium motor with a 72 mm four-layer voice coil. The suspension sits inside the motor core to save height.

Mounting

Either screwed directly to the bench with four 4.2 mm screws on the 96 mm circle, or fixed with 3M Dual Lock, a professional reclosable tape with interlocking mushroom-head stems.
