I recall reading about this unit on another forum; someone who claimed to attend a demo (CES?) said (seriously!) that it produced nausea in some people when producing very low frequencies at high SPLs! Seems plausible in that it could literally produce 'gut shaking' bass.
Pretty amazing, whether the story is true or not.

One of the people in our group quickly left the room because the sub was messing up his vestibular system. |

Subwoofer nausea is not that uncommon if you hit a sympathetic resonant frequency for your innards. I found that particular frequency when leaning over one of my series bandpass subs while using an AF oscillator. It was just like throwing a switch. One second I felt could actually smell the cigarettes on the top deck of a 1960s British double-decker bus. The slightest touch of the oscillator frequency control and I felt instantly better again. I often used to suffer from travel sickness on those old diesel busses.  |

Would they be able to increase SPL if they increased the rotation speed or would that have to do with something else? Like blade pitch?
