SubPac, a Los Angeles-based startup working on “immersive physical-sound technology,” announced today that it closed a $6 million investment to “revolutionize” the audio industry with its wearable sound vest.
Backed by Google Android cocreator Andy Rubin, NBA All-Star Carmelo Anthony’s M7 Tech Partners, and electronic music DJ Richie Hawtin, the series A round would fuel the development of the SubPac brand.
SubPac’s products, a car seat and a vest, “allow consumers to physically feel sound,” and target specifically audio professionals, gamers (including VR users), and “bass lovers.”
