TT6 Equipped Throne

The TT6 Equipped Throne contains our bespoke 1,000W TT6 super-transducer which we initially designed to power active staging but we have since been fitting them in dedicated thrones and KT Platforms for bands such as The Who, the Red Hot Chili Peppers, Bob Dylan, Anthrax, Bastille, The Cult, Meshuggah, Pantera, Colplay, Sam Smith, Royal Blood, Foals, The Pretenders, Embrace, A-ha, James Blunt, Stereophonics, Bring Me The Horizon, A Day To Remember, John JR Robinson, Papa Roach, Hollywood Vampires, OAR, Mariah Carey, Bush, Alice In Chains, Stone Sour, Slash, Steel Panther, Jimmy Eat World, Rod Stewart, etc.

Aside from the extra available muscle (if required), the main advantage of the TT6 Equipped Throne is that it can be driven by amp from 400W to 1,200W at 4 Ohms, so a channel from most standard monitor rig stage amps will do the job perfectly, and can be controlled from the monitor desk / mixer / board.

The TT6 Equipped Throne has all the sensitivity, speed, dynamic range and punch of our regular thrones but it can also deliver endless levels of power if required. It is particularly well suited to fast double bass drum / double pedal players in high volume situations.

The TT6 Equipped Throne has the same external appearance to our regular BC2 and Gigster thrones so it is extremely portable. The round and saddle versions will fit inside a standard snare drum case or our own Bespoke Hardcases.

There are seven covers to chose from: ‘Black Velvet’, ‘Black Vinyl’, ‘Antique Red Vinyl, ‘Navy Blue Vinyl, ‘British Racing Green’ velvet, ‘Purple’ velvet, and ‘Battleship Grey’ velvet.

Custom throne options are available with the TT6 Equipped Throne such as being able to accommodate various model backrests and Airlift / Nitro brackets.

The TT6 Equipped throne is the big brother of the BC2, BC2rm and Gigster: It contains an active tactile transducer which turns the bass drum signal (and other signals if required) into ‘tactile sound’ up through the drum stool. You feel it and hear it, but no one else does. This works mainly through bone conduction (see the Theory page). The result is far more sophisticated than a simple ‘thump’. All of the tone and intricacies of the bass drum sound and impact are felt and heard internally.

The Patented TT6 Equipped Throne is an all-in-one unit in which we internally mount the highest quality and most efficient Tactile Transducer available, the super-powerful Porter & Davies 1,000W TT6. There is zero compromise on build quality.

The TT6 Equipped Throne does not come supplied with a P&D Engine (amplifier) and is aimed at high-end touring acts and rental companies that already have high power amplifiers within their monitoring rig and installation.

The 1,000W TT6 super-transducer is extremely unfussy so will be perfectly driven by any amp from 400W to 1,200W at 4 Ohms, so a channel from most (but not all!) standard monitor rig stage amp will do the job perfectly. As well as this feature, the dynamic and warm performance of the TT6 transducer is spectacular, as well as its unlimited power capability

The three handmade comfortable Throne top designs are extremely sturdy and elegantly constructed, and are adorned with a silk ‘Porter & Davies’ logo. They will accommodate 7/8” diameter throne bases as used by DW, Gibraltar, Roc N Soc, Yamaha, Tama, Ludwig, Premier, Custom Percussion, and others. Custom options, backrests and pneumatic (Nitro / Airlift etc) mounting brackets are available on request.

Porter & Davies Throne Tops

Most of the sound we hear reaches our ears via airborne vibrations, like those produced by acoustic instruments and loudspeakers. However, there are four additional pathways through which we perceive acoustic energy, all of which fall into the category of tactile sound. These additional pathways include:

• Deep tissue and muscle mass (“Kinesthetic”)
• Skeletal joints (“Haptic”)
• Skin sensation (sense of touch)
• Bone conduction (skull to cochlea transmission)

Co-inventor Dil Davies at the London Drum Show.

To capitalise on these additional means by which we perceive acoustic energy, our Tactile Sound Transducers have been designed to send high-quality audio to the listener/player over a full range of tactile audio frequencies. When attached to a resonant surface (which is at the heart of our Patented thrones), the transducer reacts with precision and directness to the signal it receives.
