Last year Kohler introduced the NUMI, a high-end smart toilet, and at this year’s Kitchen and Bath Show the company unveiled VibrAcoustic technology applied to its Underscore bath collection. So what is VibrAcoustic? Simply put, it combines sound, water vibration and lighting to create a deeply immersive bathing experience.
Vibroacoustic technology delivers sound therapy that you not only hear but also feel through gentle vibrations transmitted across the body. Designed to promote full-body relaxation, these tubs use carefully tuned vibrations, music and light to ease tension and reduce stress. The result is a therapeutic soak that engages multiple senses for a calming effect beyond what a conventional tub can provide.
The audio system integrated into the Underscore bath is high quality enough to act as a standalone bath audio solution. You can stream music and podcasts from a mobile device via Wi‑Fi or Bluetooth, making it easy to play your preferred playlists, guided meditations or ambient soundscapes while you bathe.
Lighting is synchronized with the sound in a feature Kohler calls Chromatherapy. The system offers eight base colors and numerous combinations, with adjustable hues for each color so you can tailor the ambiance to your mood or wellness routine. Whether you prefer soft, warm tones for relaxation or cooler, brighter shades for an invigorating morning soak, the chromatherapy options give you precise control over the bath’s visual atmosphere.
The Underscore bath is constructed from acrylic and is offered in nine sizes, ranging from a compact 60″ x 30″ to a roomy 72″ x 42″. Options include a 48″ x 48″ cube model, and the tub is available in five finishes. Both drop-in and undermount installations are supported, helping the bath integrate naturally with a variety of bathroom layouts and design schemes.
As a luxury product, the VibrAcoustic Underscore baths carry premium pricing. Models start at $1,055.70 for the 60″ x 30″ version and go up to $4,634.55 for the 72″ x 36″ Underscore VibrAcoustic bath with Chromotherapy. For shoppers seeking a next-level bathing experience that combines therapeutic sound, soothing vibrations and customizable lighting, a VibrAcoustic-equipped Underscore bath represents a compelling, high-end option.
