Tactile Sound Transducers

Measure the overall dimensions of the deck. For best results, it is recommended that one (1) AW339
be installed for every 10 ft. by 10 ft. (3 m by 3 m) section of deck. For example, if you have a deck that
is 10 ft. by 20 ft. (3 m by 6 m), you would need to install two (2) AW339 transducers on that deck.
The transducer should be mounted in a location that is equally spaced from the sides of the deck and
other transducers. As general examples, the diagrams below provide top views of 10 ft. by 10 ft. (3 m
by 3 m) and 10 ft. by 20 ft. (3 m by 6 m) deck surfaces with the transducers mounted equal distances
from each other and from the edges of the deck.
If the deck is a custom shape, approximate the placement of the transducers using the general
recommendation of one transducer for every 100 ft.

When determining the actual mounting location(s), it is important to decide which type of mounting
style you want to use. There are two commonly used mounting styles: the joist mount or the bridge
mount. See the diagrams of each style below.
