Using Your SubPac
®
S2
Please read and follow these instructions before using your SubPac
®
S2 for
the first time.
Setup:
Find a comfortable chair with a full back and secure your S2 to it using the
multipoint strapping system (see the Strapping and Attachment
section below for more detail). Ideally your unit will have full contact with
the centre of your back. This is a general starting position to get used to
the feeling of tactile sound.
After a few sessions we recommend experimenting with the placement of
the S2 on your chair to find the optimal positioning to “tune” the SubPac
®
to your body and for your comfort.
Variables that can affect the tactile response of your SubPac
®
include chair
selection, body placement and input level.
Cables:
Connect your listening device/output source to the line-in port on the
control box using the supplied 3.5mm audio cable.
Plug your headphones into the headphone jack on the control box.
Bluetooth 4.0 with A2DP:
For Bluetooth pairing, unplug the audio cable and hold down the power
button for 4 seconds to make your SubPac
®
S2 visible to devices, the
Bluetooth LED will turn solid blue. Search for ‘SubPac S2’ in your
transmitting device’s Bluetooth settings and pair with it as per the
manufacturer’s recommendations. When successfully paired the LED will
flash until audio is played, where it will turn solid again. Note that plugging
in the line-in cable will automatically turn off Bluetooth and will disrupt
streaming.
Listening:
Start by turning the intensity level on the control box of your SubPac
®
anti-clockwise, all the way down to the minus sign on the left side of the
intensity knob.
Set the headphone level from your listening device/output source so that
you can hear the music above a normal conversational volume, the music
should sound full and detailed in your headphones.
Slowly turn up the SubPac
®
intensity level (clockwise) and stop when what
you hear with your ears via headphones (or monitors) matches in intensity
with what you are feeling through your S2 unit and feels/sounds balanced.
Once you have discovered this optimal level, leave the intensity knob set
where it is and listen to a few tracks from different genres and artists to
allow your brain and body to adjust to the feeling of tactile sound.
The intensity curve of the S2 is linear in response from 0 - 70% for
maximum accuracy when listening, writing and mixing, making the
SubPac
®
S2 an extremely accurate and effective tool for creating and
mixing music to a professional level.
Using Your SubPac

S2 (continued)
Listening (continued):
From 70% to 100% we have applied a logarithmic curve which rapidly
increases intensity, allowing for an enhanced bass response for those
looking for a more bass-heavy listening experience.
For the S2’s design we accommodated the requests of some of the world’s
most respected music producers as well as taking on board feedback from
users worldwide who utilised our original model, the SubPac
®
S1. The
0-70% range and the 70%-100% ranges are useful for both professional
use and casual music listening as they provide two different ways of
feeling the music you love. Treat them as different modes of appreciating
your audio, but also as an A/B tool to reference material you know well.
Strapping and Attachment
The SubPac
®
S2’s multipoint strapping system is designed to be used on a
variety of different chair sizes and styles.
The main top strap sits atop of your chair to hold your unit in place, while
the cross straps lock the S2 in position. The base of the unit should
typically sit a few inches above the seat of your chair.
There are two velcro inserts within the back pocket of the main body of
the unit that secure one end of the top chair strap, which secure across
the top of your chair for stability.
The cross straps reach around the side of the chair and hook
to three different sets of loops found on both sides of the main body of
the unit, securing it in place These can then be adjusted for optimal fit and
position on your chair.
The strapping for your SubPac
®
is completely removable, and can detach
into two separate pieces to best suit the design of your chair. The
strapping system can be stored in the S2’s back pocket for neatness.
The control box can be clipped to the SubPac
®
, chair or armrest using the
provided straps. The wide strap loop is intended to clip the
control box around the armrest of your chair. Secure it first and then
attach the control box using the clip found on the back of the control box.
To change the direction of the clip, unscrew it, turn it 180 degrees and
reposition it with the other screw hole. The control box can be clipped to
the wide elastic loop or on the back pocket when not in use or during
transportation.
