The Ultimate Solution for High-End Tactile Feedback
Xtended Lows. Xtreme precise. Built for High-End Tactile.
With a massive 324 N peak force packed into a 48 mm profile, the Xcite XBS100 delivers enough power to excite an entire aluminum rig — while remaining compact enough for direct seat or platform integration. Its ultra-low 22 Hz resonance frequency and ±12 mm excursion allow the XBS100 to reproduce the full tactile spectrum down to the lowest octave. While standard shakers often have "dead zones" or muddy peaks, the XBS100 provides a flat, structured response – from infrasonic impacts to the finest surface details.
The high-flux neodymium motor results in lightning-fast transient response, ensuring that multiple signals remain distinct and controlled — ideal for complex multi-layer sim signals. Thanks to its superior 8.2 N/W force sensitivity, the XBS100 remains exceptionally efficient, outperforming heavier transducers even when used with moderate amplifier power.
Engineered for brutal conditions. 100% Steel and Aluminum construction. Double steel suspension. IP66-rated.
Designed in Germany.

Product details Xcite XBS100-4 Bass Shaker
Ready to Xcite You.
The Xcite XBS100 is built for users who want to perceive the entire haptic spectrum — not just generic shaking. Developed for high-end rigs, the XBS100 drives heavy seats and rigid frames with Xtreme precision.
Efficiency meets Power. Thanks to its high 8.2 N/W force sensitivity, the XBS100 is extremely efficient. It delivers exceptional tactile output even with moderate amplifier power starting from 100W. To unlock the full performance potential, it can be driven up to 500W.
Ideal as:
- Single Reference Unit: The ultimate "Sledgehammer" for your racing seat.
- Silent Subwoofer: High-end upgrade for Home Cinema seating.
- Platform Mainframe: Drives platforms from 0.5 m² up to 8 m².
- Tactile Core: The heavy-hitter in a layered multi-unit system.
SpiderCore Motor Architecture
Here’s the Xcite advantage:
Most transducers stack the suspension on top of the motor, increasing height and reducing maximum displacement. The XBS Series integrates the suspension directly into the motor core. The SpiderCore design makes the XBS up to 45% shorter than industry standards — enabling a truly ultra-slim profile without the typical loss of excursion or "bottoming out" common in flat designs.
Even the terminals are engineered for minimal footprint, adding no unnecessary height or width. Ultra-slim engineering — with full excursion, extreme output, and durability.
Installation Recommendation
- 5-minute installation — secure with 4 screws and connect via spring terminals to your amplifier
- Recommended amplifier range: 100–500 W @ 4 Ohm - The high force/watt sensitivity allows the unit to be driven even with smaller amplifiers.
- Suggested low-pass: 100 Hz (impact focus), up to 150 Hz (detail focus)
- Versatile Mounting: Symmetric suspension allows mounting in any orientation (vertical, inverted, or sideways) without rattle.
System Configuration Guidance
- Home Cinema: 1–2x per seat | 1–4x per couch
- Platform Installation: 1x per platform from 0.5 m² to 8 m²
- SIM Racing: 2x units per rig or 2x per seat
- SIM Racing Pro: 4x – 8x units for spatial layering
Is the XBS100 right for you?
- You want full-range performance – One unit to cover everything from 10Hz to 150Hz.
- You demand structured power – Clean, precise impacts instead of uncontrolled vibration.
- You value build quality — pure steel and aluminum construction, zero plastic
- You have a heavy Rig – You need full force to punch through rigid aluminum profiles.
- You want maximum efficiency – More tactile output per watt than any conventional alternative.
- You need hardware that thrives in harsh environments – IP66 rated
Whether used as a standalone reference unit per seat or as the core of a structured multi-layer tactile system - the XBS100 is your reference.
