AMPLIFIER
Sage Space Technologies-
Sensory Lounge
Sage Space Technologies offers a custom built, 2-in-1300W amplifier purposely designed for Vibro-Acoustic Therapy. There are a number of advantages to this design, including ease of use and a more compact design due to no unnecessary terminals and controls, fewer cables, and no separate headphone amplifier.
InHarmony-Sound Lounge
InHarmony offers a SMP300 300W subwoofer amplifier for their sound lounge, and a separate Behringer Microamp HA 400 amplifier for headphones. The advantages to this configuration is that you are purchasing quality audio equipment from an audio manufacturer.
Opus - SoundBed
The details of the Opus SoundBed amplifier are not clear other than an advertised 100W. Images on their website suggest that the amplifier may be installed inside the base of the bed, and it may connect wirelessly in addition to a cable connection. It is also unclear whether a headphone amplifier is incorporated or included. The advantages of this design may be the concealed amplifier for a neater finish and for hiding the messy cables. Wireless connectivity is also a nice feature, though be aware that audio quality will be diminished with a wireless connection.
