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 – Located within easy reach, the interface allows you to turn the unit ON and OFF. It

also enables you to select experiences and regulate the resonance intensity and chromatherapy

lighting (if equipped). The interface also allows you to 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.

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 and lighting color can be adjusted for each experience as desired. Refer to the
