SUBPAC is a patented tactile audio platform that combines hardware, software and advanced materials to deliver deeply immersive and nuanced bass with far more resolution and range than traditional speakers and headphones.
HAPTICS
Receptors on skin register vibrations on surface.
INTEROCEPTION
Receptors in muscle detect subtle change in force and pressure.
BONE CONDUCTION
Vibrations pulse through bones to the inner ear and are sensed as hearing.
SUBPAC Applications

SUBPAC IMMERSES YOUR BODY IN SOUND
Feel like you’re in the club standing beside massive speakers. Or feel your enemy approaching from behind in your games. With SubPac, your entire body is brought into the experience.
LIVE
The SUBPAC provides a deeper, more intense connection with your music. Your body resonates with the music, as if you were in the prime location: live at a festival, a concert, club or theater.
INCLUSION & ACCESSIBILITY
Musical performances are very rarely adapted to the hearing impaired and even less to the deaf. In the equipped venues, we are witnessing a real mix of audiences around a common passion, music.
The precision of the solution enables to experience the music better than with any other device. Particularly suitable for the profoundly deaf with and without implants, it can be used by the hearing-impaired public to complement another solution. We are currently working with specialized centres to highlight the advantages of using low frequencies on people with autism, in terms of access but also cultural practice.
SUBPAC Features
Frequency Range
1HZ – 200HZ.
Portability
The SUBPAC gives you a full range, portable production solution anywhere, anytime.
No External Noise
The SUBPAC is silent to the outside world. You will not get noise complaints, allowing you to create for longer, later into the night.
Save Your Hearing
Feeling sound puts less stress on your most valuable asset – your ears. With the SUBPAC you can produce/mix for longer at lower levels.
Unrivaled In-studio Monitoring
SUBPAC is the most consistent and accurate bass monitoring solution on the market.
Full Frequency On-stage Monitoring
SUBPAC is the perfect complement to in-ear monitoring, giving you the complete frequency spectrum for onstage monitoring.
Room Issues
SUBPAC takes the guesswork out of mixing low frequencies. The room you are in and its effect on bass frequencies is no longer an issue.
Inspiration
By physically feeling your music, your level of inspiration will be heightened – in the studio, on the plane, in your hotel room and on the stage.
Translation
How does your bass translate between sound systems? “What does my mix sound and feel like in a club or on a gaming rig?” Accurate tactile monitoring of low frequencies – SUBPAC – is the answer.
Save Money
A subwoofer (down to 5 hz), room treatment, sound proofing etc. is costly. Accurate bass monitoring with a SubPac will save you money.
SUBPAC Compatibilities
Low frequency information is sent to the SUBPAC which converts it to high fidelity, powerful, nuanced physical bass that acts on 3 layers of immersion.
