Porter & Davies BCX Drum Monitoring System
Additional Photos:
The BC-X is a silent bass drum monitoring system which allows you to feel, hear and experience your bass drum (and other sound sources if required) like you never felt or heard them before. It consists of the unique TT1 Precision Devices transducer, built into a Patented throne top, and uses bone conduction to deliver powerful, precise and nuanced reproduction without sound.
The BC-X will give you great connectivity to your drum kit whilst playing and recording. Designed with the semi-pro working musician in mind, it is also a fabulous tool for the touring professional due to it being ultra-compact and comfortable. Ready to use, 'plug in and play' system integrates seamlessly with both acoustic and electronic drums.
Features
• Gives the drummer full control over power and intensity right by their side with unparalleled response speed (0% timing lag) while faithfully reproducing playing dynamics
• Amplified Tactile Generator Monitor System transmits the full bass drum signal and sound (or any other drum) physically up through the drum stool
• Round, all-vinyl throne top (13"; 33 cm across); contains a brand new dedicated TT1 tactile transducer
• Throne top is designed to accommodate 7/8" diameter throne bases (throne-base not included)
• BC-X 'Engine', which contains all of the electronics (Amp, preamp, inputs/outputs, protection circuitry, and volume and tone controls); measures only 8" x 7" x 4" (20 x 19 x 10 cm)
• Engine is completely encased in a steel 'exoskeleton' with durable rubberised 'bumper' corner pieces and a sturdy 'roll bar' protective carrying handle
• Combined single mic/line input socket; mic input utilizes a XLR lead, while the line input is via standard 1/4" jack

Protect your investment with the Long & McQuade Performance Warranty
A warranty can be a very important factor when making a buying decision. Because repairs can be very expensive in terms of parts and labour costs, manufacturers usually only provide one year limited warranties that generally only cover items that malfunction due to a manufacturer’s defect. With an important purchase such as a musical
instrument or piece of studio gear, however, many people want to have the peace of mind in knowing that their investment will be protected should the product no longer be performing at 100%.
Because of this, Long & McQuade provides our customers with a FREE one-year Performance Warranty on most of our products. The Long & McQuade Performance Warranty supplements the manufacturer’s warranty to ensure that our customers receive complete “no hassle” warranty coverage within their first year.
How does the Long & McQuade Performance Warranty differ from most manufacturers' warranties?
- Performance Guarantee: Normal wear and tear is covered, so your product will be performing as well as the day you purchased it for the entire duration of the coverage. Band and Orchestral Performance Warranty does not include replacing pads or cleaning for woodwind instruments, unless deemed necessary by our repair staff. Ultrasonic cleaning for brass instruments will be provided if deemed necessary by our repair staff, but is not routinely offered under the Performance Warranty.
- Product Replacement: If your product cannot be fixed or costs too much to fix, we will replace it with the equivalent model for no additional charge. If this is not possible, a full refund will be provided.
- No Lemon Policy: Your product will be replaced should the same problem occur multiple times.
- Convenient: Easy drop off and pick up of the product at any Long & McQuade location.
- Guitar Setup: Guitars purchased at Long & McQuade come with 1 free setup, to be redeemed within 1 year for new guitars and 90 days for used guitars.
- Loaners Available: A loaner product may be given while the product is being repaired.
- Power Surge Protection: Your product is covered even if damaged from a power surge.
- Accessory Coverage: Any peripheral devices or accessories that come with your product (i.e. foot pedal, case) are also covered.
- Commercial Use Coverage: Music and recording professionals who purchase gear for “heavy-use” commercial purposes will still be covered.
Long & McQuade reserves the right to restrict the purchase of additional years of Performance Warranty. Used products come with a 3-month Long & McQuade Performance Warranty. Some products (i.e. computers, software, cymbals and other items) are covered only by the manufacturer‘s warranty. Consumables (i.e. strings, reeds, drum sticks, batteries, tubes, cross faders) are excluded as they are designed to be replaced. Cosmetic Damage, Accidental Damage, or problems caused by Humidity or Temperature Issues are not covered. Speakers damaged by overpowering are generally not covered. Our coverage does not provide compensation for loss of use. As of June 2018 the Performance Warranty is no longer transferable. The warranty is only valid in Canada.
Purchasing additional years of coverage
Some manufacturers provide warranties for longer than 1 year; however, these are usually limited warranties that do not provide the same coverage as the Long & McQuade Performance Warranty. Customers interested in more complete and convenient (but not necessarily longer) coverage are still able to purchase additional years of the Performance Warranty.
If you are interested in receiving this coverage for longer than one year, you have the option of purchasing additional years of the Performance Warranty. The pricing is as follows:
- NEW products: Starting at 4% of the current new selling price to double the warranty from 1 year to 2 years. Starting at 4% for each additional year.
- USED products: Starting at 4% of the current new selling price to increase the warranty from 3 months to 1 year. Starting at 4% for each additional year.
- GUITARS: 4% of the current new selling price to double the warranty from 1 year to 2 years. 4% for each additional year. $45 maximum. An additional free setup is not included with additional purchased years of Performance Warranty.
- BAND and ORCHESTRAL instruments: 4% of the current new selling price to double the warranty from 1 year to 2 years. 4% for each additional year.
