My goal is to make sure everyone can get as much slam as they want, right up to the limit of the technology. That said - compared to hearing there is a lot of variation in audio-tactile sensitivity. It varies from person to person. Personal variation could be the reason you are at a 10 wanting...

Each Kannon gets tested with triaxial accelerometers that measure the motion of each ear cup across four bass octaves. The acoustic frequency response is measured at the same time on a Bruel&Kjaer Head and Torso Simulator over an acoustic range that is expanded on the low end (we use 10Hz - 20kHz).

Thank Niko! Glad you like. Sharing the joy with fellow bassheads is why I do this.

Yeah - something is up. The Kannon, working properly, should be vastly different. So - PM me with the details and let's if we can figure out a way to get you the experience you are looking for. - FightinJim

HI Niko - I'll personally check into your repair and get you an update -J

Yes, we received it. I'll PM you Sunday night with details on the repair.

Good idea - that is clearer. I'll update the manual. Thanks!

Hi Immortal, Glad to hear that you are giving your Kannons a thorough check, and thanks for pointing out a missing piece of information in our manual. Based on your feedback, I've updated the manual so the next batch will be printed with this updated figure (image below). The figure now...

I looked into it a little further and -- Mea Culpa! Our fault (Taction's). There is some gmail weirdness happening. John's message looked like it was going to you (that is, it showed your name in the recipient list) but when I expanded the message the recipient by your name was...

I'm glad we're connecting. We want to get this sorted out for you and your stuff working the way it should. It looks like he got your message sent to tactiontech and replied to you at your gmail address. He sent it to you from his company address, not from tactiontech@gmail.com. Maybe...

Hi there - thanks for letting us know about the difficulty. John emailed you on Wednesday and I was ccd on the message. Sorry you missed our communication or it did not go through. Could you check your gmail for John's reply two days ago? We're just a small company doing our level best to be...

Hi Caryn - thanks for reaching out. I sent email to your gmail address on Wednesday to set up a tech support time. Maybe it's in your spam? -FightinJim

Yes - gradual pulsing green is standby mode, waiting for a signal with tactile content. Hard ON/OFF blinking is the low battery signal. Best - FightinJim

Yes, we've seen this fault come up a few times, and we're starting to get a handle on it. What we've learned is that this kind of fault can occasionally happen if a "just right" impulse signal suddenly drives the tactile transducer from zero into hard clipping. Think of our signal processor...

Hey everyone, I just wanted to share the inside scoop on Kannon production. It's good news. A batch of parts we've been waiting for has just arrived at our shop. With these parts in hand we will be completing the final assembly, QC, and packaging of our latest batch of Kannons over the next...

Glad you like 'em! We're just some guys trying like hell to do headphone bass right. Also, we wanted to share the news that the production line at the new Taction site is giving good results. Tracking notices will be going out over the next few days as the latest batch goes out the door. BTW...

Open back with Taction? I think we will get there eventually, but it's going to be a while before we can take on that challenge because at the moment we need to focus on our closed-back production. We're working to get everyone their Kannons as quickly as possible. We're building our first...

The baffle plate on the Kannon is oval, 77 x 97 mm. The M50x pads are a reasonable match that fits. Ori pads are probably not a good fit, since they assume a round baffle plate, and the Kannons are ovals. Brainwavz makes a general purpose oval pad that gives nice results on the Kannons. For...

Yes, intentional. When you turn off the Taction button you are basically telling the system "Hey, totally conserve the battery." So, no lights. We made sure the mute function still works because it takes essentially no power. We were worried about the case where someone is a long time...

Yes, intentional. When you turn the Taction off you are basically telling the system to conserve the battery. We decided not to illuminate the mute led when the taction is off because we didn't want anyone to accidentally run the battery down in the headphone case, for example on a trip.

Everyone's unit is tested before going out the door, so I know your Kannon tested normally before it shipped. That said, there is a wide natural range in vibration sensitivity. There are studies to show it varies with age. Also skin temperature. Also, I've made some unpublished...

Here's a visual way to get an idea about how these songs hit with Kannons... -J

We'll get this batch out the door, and then update this weekend.

Hey James - we will be releasing another batch of cans this week. Things are initially slow due to exhaustive 100% QC on every part and every step, and lots of time spent on documentation. They are also slow because we are spending most of our time making improvements to the manufacturing line...
