"Sub has always been a slight mystery so without the SUBPAC I really don’t think we’d be able to give the accuracy we truly require within our music. Its a heavy bit of kit!"

Q&A with Document One about the SUBPAC:

What role does “feeling” play in the music you make and love?
Its a huge part for us, and crutial to the music we make. The sub frequencies are obviously the hardest to hear accurately, so being able to feel it now with the is a massive night and day moment for us. The emotion and feeling that bass gives to anyone when heard on a large system is really important to us, so getting it 100% right is essential to us.

Has the SUBPAC changed the way you create, produce or mix music?
Well quite simply yes. The fact we can’t write without it now is amazing! Before we were using a subwoofer and that was great, but feeling it now is another thing. In the context of mixing if we’re looking at sub, its right there in our faces. And on the contery if were looking to find out what other instruments contains frequencies you may not want in the mix its crystal clear. It helps a lot in many situations where as before we may have not have dealt with it in the same way.
