SUBPAC, the tactile audio company that created low frequency monitoring solutions for gaming and audio production, has partnered with modern luxury automotive business JLR for the company's first venture in taking the studio to the street. SUBPAC has continually pushed the boundaries in music production by creating the most advanced studio-grade solutions used by some of music’s top creators. Now, SUBPAC technology is incorporated into the New Range Rover Sport SV Edition One's Body and Soul Seat (BASS) system, a high-fidelity, tactile audio experience, complete with wellness benefits.
Together, SUBPAC and JLR are experimenting with new levels of in-vehicle audio, exploring the multidimensional approach to sound, allowing front-seat occupants to actually feel the music. The new Body and Soul Seat (BASS) incorporates SUBPAC’s AI optimizing software, coupled with transducers and membranes, to deliver vibrations directly to the driver and passengers that enhance the audio experience.
According to the company, the new Range Rover Sport SV's Body and Soul Seat changes the way in-car media is experienced. Working seamlessly alongside the existing 29-speaker system in the car, the BASS seat sets a new standard in immersive audio.
"By teaming up with JLR, we are now able to bring our advanced audio technology to the automotive industry, allowing drivers and passengers to experience sound in a completely new and transformative way – by physically feeling it. The new Range Rover Sport SV is truly the perfect showcase for our AI-based solution," says Todd Chernecki, CEO of SUBPAC.
"We're always looking for innovative ways to enhance the driving experience," explains Jamal Hameedi, Director, SVO at JLR. "Partnering with SUBPAC has allowed us to make truly immersive audio a reality with the Body and Soul Seat by creating an unparalleled multi-sensory experience that enhances our clients' modern luxury journey, truly setting the New Range Rover Sport SV apart."
Outside of immersive in-car audio, the Range Rover Sport SV with the Body and Soul Seat can help enhance front seat occupants’ mental and physiological well-being, SUBPAC claims. In line with SUBPAC's various wellness initiatives, and a study developed by Coventry University, UK, and JLR, findings show the seat can help with stress reduction and relaxation by improving heart rate variability (HRV).
Always looking to push the boundaries of what’s possible, SUBPAC has plans to expand its technology beyond automotive with partnerships that include gaming, aviation, as well as entering the health & wellness market.
"SUBPAC's mission has always revolved around deepening the connection between humans and sound. This partnership represents a new era and opportunity for creators in new immersive environments," says John Alexiou, Co-Founder SUBPAC.
