SubPac

Also known as: Sub Pac, Sub-Pac

SUBPAC is a tactile audio company based in Toronto, Canada, founded in 2013 by John Alexiou and Todd Chernecki. The company develops wearable and seated systems that transfer low-frequency content (roughly 1–200 Hz) directly to the body using tactile transducers and vibro-tactile membranes, allowing users to physically feel bass without producing significant sound in the room.
