C. Multiple-Seat Installation
Crowson TES-100 Tactile Motion Systems may be integrated into large home theater environments with multiple seats
and multiple rows. We recommend installing one (1) TES-100 Actuator and one (1) Motion Isolator per arm (ref: fig. 11).
Each “active” seating position must rest, in part, on at least one (1) TES-100 Actuator. Additional Motion Isolators may be
purchased and added to support the additional feet of a non-standard seating design. When armrests are shared between
two seats, the TES-100 Actuator below the arm can be configured as Right (R), Left (L), or Mono (M). TES-100 Actuators
on the Left side of the row should be configured as a “Left” and TES-100 Actuators on the Right side of the row should be
configured as a “Right”. TES-100 Actuators in the center should be configured as a “Mono”.
For Example: A 3-seat row with 4 total armrests (two “shared” armrests) requires two (2) TES-100
Stereo Motion Systems (four (4) TES-100 Actuators and four (4) Motion Isolators)
1. Install Motion Isolators: Per standard installation instructions (ref: fig. 8 and 11).
2. Connect Actuators to Amplifier(s): Per standard installation instructions. Connect the Left (L), Right (R)
and Mono (M) outputs from the amplifier(s) to the TES-100 Actuators (ref: fig. 5,6,9,10) positioned as shown in fig.11.
In multiple seat installations, it is often necessary to employ more than one amplifier. It is possible to “stack” amplifiers
in order to share the input signals between two (2) or more amplifiers. This will require the use of a line-level multi-
channel audio distribution system or the use of RCA “Y” adapters. Please consult with your Crowson Authorized Dealer or
a qualified Crowson technician for assistance.
