SubPac (personal bass system)

[prof]

A great new piece of technology that allows you take the booming club system home without disturbing your neighbours. http://www.factmag.com/2013/03/05/sub-b ... ng-subpac/

cool!

[Soulstep]

lol, Is this a joke? why not make bass back rub chair

[prof]

it's real my friend... and endorsed by some Dubstep legends.
Hell.. even Public Enemy beat smith/rock'n'roll hall of fame'r Hank Shoklee is on it.

Might also be a good massager.

DANG! hatting already. lol
I don't think it's meant to be worn around for fashion, looks like you just lean back on it. I think it's more for enhancing the music experience over all as well as help make a tighter mix in the studio.

lol..Why beats by dre bro's? ... Anyone who makes or enjoys music with bass in it might like this thing in my mind.

Um, it's called a linear motor or linear actuator - also called rumblepacks or tactile transducers - and this simply appears to be driving a small battery powered version from the signal out of a crossover.

See: buttkicker.com, etc.

Bet it'd be relatively easy to DIY too. Google "Dayton audio tt25-16 PUCK."

prof im not hating, u cant level that at me straight away

i just said i reckon its ugly... - it would be nice if there was a 'plain VIP MATTE BLACK version' so one didn't feel like a walking advertisement b2b spaceman.

anyway like i said its a really cool idea and i hope you do well with it!
is it your product?

[Megachannel]

Like a soundproof sub. I could see this working well for the middle of the night I wish I could sleep but I drank too much coffee all day mixing mixes.

[dsprainman]

it's just a rumble pack. i say dumb

[NW_DUBAHOLIC]

It doesn't sound like it just vibrates:

"SubPac is a high-fidelity portable tactile audio device that quietly and directly transfers low frequencies to your body."

If it does that would definitely be disappointing but I have a hard time believing all those producers would endorse a "rumble pack".

[Figment]

tupac

[NW_DUBAHOLIC]

I sent them a message asking them if it was just simple vibration and they said, "definitively not a rumble pack my friend....its real audio."

[foxtrot]

Id love to try one out!

I just got mine. It's fantastic. Nothing about this feels cheap or gimmicky. It's straight up, proper bass weight. I can't imagine them having done a better job of this than they did. Listening to some Mala tunes, I can very clearly feel different textures in his basslines. It's outstanding.

Lol can you mix with it on?

[cloaked_up]

what kind of places do you wear it?
is it a bit like wearing a potato?
can other people around you hear it?

[forbidden]

ordered mine, should be arriving next month. sold by all the endorsements from huge scene figureheads who don't really endorse any products nowadays, i would be put off if it were being marketed anything like beats by dre. those things are overpriced shit.

but yeah, there are too many people who have these and not a SINGLE youtube user review. someone read this and make one!! i've been watching the same promo videos for months. it's great to see pro's going "this thing is sick as fuck" but there's something re-assuring about some joe-blow person going "i can affirm this thing is awesome" and i'd love to see an unboxing and setup vid as well. i'll make one if nobody else does before me.

it also doesn't seem like it's battery driven, i think they show it in the pics/videos actually disconnected from AC power for appearances sake, but i could be wrong. if it runs on batteries that's cool, but it would smoke batteries with the quickness.

i'm stoked for it but bummed it means my comp chair will basically be wired to my interface which is a touchy situation. i'll just have to be careful i guess.

I emailed them to confirm power supply and you are all incorrect! Its actually a small 1 cylinder 2 stroke engine. mad fuel efficient!
