Adding to the wave of its recent technology
innovations, Kohler Co. introduces VibrAcoustic technology on all nine
models of their popular Underscore bath line. VibrAcoustic is a
technology-based sound therapy defined as hearing and feeling sound
vibrations through the body. Focused on complete body relaxation, the new
Underscore VibrAcoustic baths are engineered to ease tension and stress.
Additionally, the quality of the sound system is so good that it can be used
as a stand-alone audio solution for the entire bathroom. The bather can
stream music and podcasts through the bath from a mobile device via hardwire
connection or wirelessly with a Bluetooth receiver. The VibrAcoustic
technology is controlled by an intuitive full-color touch screen user
interface.

"KOHLER VibrAcoustic technology truly is a multi-dimensional experience. It s
like going to a rock concert - you can hear and feel the music and
vibrations throughout your body," says Ann Roever, business director for
Kohler bathing products. "With four original compositions to choose from and
the ability to play your own music, it's an experience that can fit any
mood."

The four experiences are original compositions that integrate music,
vibration and lighting in order to encourage the bather's breathing rate to
align with the beats or chord structures. These VibrAcoustic experiences
envelop the bather in a multi-sensory environment. These original
compositions were created in collaboration with a renowned sound therapist
and are choreographed uniquely for this bath to optimize the vibroacoustic
effect, in which the body is led into a state of complete relaxation. In
addition, two massaging beat experiences add even more physical vibration
that can be adjusted to the desired level of intensity to personalize the
bathing experience.

Six transducers producing music/vibrations are strategically placed
surrounding the bath allowing the bather to not only hear but also feel the
music streaming in from one of the four preset VibrAcoustic experiences. The
transducers are located both below the water for the vibration experience
and above the water for the audio. A newly designed touch screen user
interface allows bathers full control of their experience and the option of
listening to a favorite play list from their mobile device, internet radio
or home computer by simply plugging your device into the amplifier or
streaming wirelessly with any Bluetooth receiver.

Chromatherapy lighting is synchronized with the four preset VibrAcoustic
experiences and will also align itself with the rhythm of outside music. The
four lights in the bath cycle through eight different colors and myriad
color combinations and patterns. A color dial even allows bathers to choose
a particular hue of each color.

The acrylic Underscore bath is available in nine sizes ranging from 60-by-30
inches to 72-by-42 inches, including a 48-by-48-inch cube-shaped model, and
is available in five colors with both drop-in and undermount installation to
ensure a natural fit with other design elements in the bathroom. The
Underscore baths' simple, crisp design lines perfectly complement granite,
stone or tile. Underscore baths feature a slotted overflow that creates a
deeper-than-normal soaking experience.

In comparison to overflow drains found on traditional baths that are round
and positioned lower, limiting the water depth, the large, slotted overflow
drain positioned near the Underscore bath rim maximizes the level of water
in the bath for a true soaking experience.

MSRP: Price ranges from $1,055.70 for the 60-by-30-inch VibrAcoustic bath to
$4,634.55 for the 72-by-36-inch Underscore VibrAcoustic bath with
Chromatherapy.
