Xcite XBS200-4 is a passive 4-ohm bass shaker for powerful haptic systems in sim racing, flight simulation and home cinema. It delivers ±15 mm excursion, 920 N peak force, 650 N average force and a 10 Hz - 1 kHz range. Its aluminium housing measures 230 mm in diameter and 62 mm in height. An external amplifier and speaker cable are required. See our other bass shakers.

1. What does Xcite XBS200-4 do?
It is a passive transducer that converts an amplified audio signal into vibrations felt through a seat, cockpit or another rigid structure.
2. Is XBS200-4 rated at 200 W or 1000 W?
Both figures appear in the datasheet, but they describe different IEC 60268-5 tests. Xcite lists 200 W for the RMS noise test and 1000 W as long-term maximum power. The 1000 W figure should not be labelled as RMS power.
3. Does the bass shaker need an amplifier?
Yes. XBS200-4 is a passive 4-ohm transducer and requires an external amplifier that is stable into this load.
4. Can Xcite XBS200-4 connect directly to a PC?
No. The shaker has no USB interface or built-in sound card. The PC sends audio to an amplifier, which then drives XBS200-4.
5. Does XBS200-4 work with SimHub?
Yes, as part of an audio chain. SimHub generates the signal through a sound card, an amplifier increases its level, and the shaker converts it into movement.
6. What are the dimensions and weight of XBS200-4?
The unit is 230 mm in diameter, 62 mm high and weighs 4842 g.
7. What is the mounting diameter?
Xcite specifies a 215 mm mounting diameter. Compare the intended installation point with the technical drawing before drilling.
8. How much force does Xcite XBS200-4 produce?
Rated peak force is 920 N and average force is 650 N. Mechanical excursion is ±15 mm.
9. What does the IP66 rating cover?
It covers the transducer itself against dust and strong water jets. It does not automatically protect the amplifier, cables or other connections.
10. What is included in the box?
The confirmed item is one Xcite XBS200-4. Xcite does not list an amplifier, cable, brackets or mounting screws as package contents.
11. How long is the warranty for Xcite XBS200-4?
Xcite Audio products purchased from Simline.eu are covered for up to 2 years within the European Union, subject to the sales and warranty terms applicable to the order.
12. How is an Xcite Audio warranty claim handled?
Simline.eu receives the claim documentation and handles the case. After reviewing the description, photos or video, we provide the next instructions for the warranty process.
13. How do I report a fault with Xcite XBS200-4?
Email support@simline.eu with the order number, a description of the issue and photos or video showing the fault. Further instructions will be provided after verification.
