Your Vibracoustic Bath

Your vibracoustic bath is designed to provide a relaxing resonating surround sound experience. The bath is equipped with the following components:

Bath – Allows the bather to relax in comfort while enjoying the vibracoustic experience.

User Interface – Provides convenient control of the unit features, allowing you to select experiences,

regulate resonance intensity, adjust heated surface temperature, and turn the unit ON or OFF. The interface also allows you to adjust chromatherapy lighting (if equipped) and select an auxiliary music source (if connected).

Chromatherapy Lights (if equipped) – Add ambience to your bath with a continuous cycle through eight colors, or you can set the lighting to a speciﬁc color.

Heated Surface – Provides soothing warmth to your back, shoulders, and neck with three temperature settings.

Transducers – Components through which the vibracoustic pulses are transferred to the bath. When the bath is ﬁlled with water, two transducers are positioned above the waterline, and four are located below the waterline.

Control Ampliﬁer – Provides power to the transducers and chromatherapy lighting (if equipped) to create soothing or exhilarating vibracoustic experiences. The control also contains a port to connect an optional auxiliary music source.

Your bath offers several distinct vibracoustic experiences:

″Awakening,″″Solitude,″″Transcendence,″″Letting Go,″″Toms,″ and ″Up Down″ – six custom experiences combining sound and vibrations designed to relax or invigorate your mind and body.

The sound resonance, lighting color, and lumbar heat can be adjusted for each experience as desired. Refer to the ″Adjusting Resonance,″″Chromatherapy,″ and ″Heated Surface″ sections.
