Each of these spaces offers their own unique approach to Vibroacoustic Therapy, but all use authentic InnerSoulutions-built tables featuring our Ibeam VT200 Advanced Transducer Technology.

Many of the 800+ tables we have built are in private spaces and are not listed. If you want to be listed, please let me know. - Stephen

Q. Can I use my own frequencies / music in your sound tables or do I have to use only yours?

A. Yes, absolutely. From the very beginning, I believed that Vibroacoustics should remain an open and evolving field, not limited by proprietary content. If I had restricted the tables to use only our own tracks, the practice of Vibroacoustics would never have grown as much as it has today.

You can play any type of music or frequency-based audio, from Solfeggio frequencies to Mickey Hart, or anything that resonates with you. The tables are designed to respond accurately to a wide range of frequencies and music styles.

That said, our own VAT Frequencies and VAT Music were created and tested directly on our sound tables in the studio. They’re carefully optimized to take full advantage of the Liquid Sound Table’s transducer design, water bladder, and amplifier setup, providing a uniquely balanced and powerful experience.

Q. Do I need Headphones?

A. Headphones are not recommended when using VAT Frequencies, as these tracks are designed primarily to be felt through the body, not listened to through the ears.

You can, however, listen to other audio while the VAT Frequencies are playing in the table, such as guided meditations, music, audiobooks, binaural beats, or podcasts. This combination can create a more immersive and personalized vibroacoustic experience.

When using VAT Music (vibroacoustic music created specifically for sound tables), headphones are often preferred. They allow you to hear the music in perfect sync with the vibration while also helping to reduce outside noise and keep your focus on the soundscape.

Q. What are the New Advanced Technology Transducers?

A. All of our Liquid Sound Tables are powered by the latest Ibeam VT200 Advanced Technology Transducers, precision-engineered to deliver the most accurate and natural vibroacoustic experience available today.

These transducers generate vibrations that are incredibly smooth, accurate, and consistent, with tactile response extending from 20 Hz to roughly 800 Hz.

Unlike inexpensive or older designs, the VT200s produce very little heat and deliver energy so cleanly that the brain perceives the vibration as Sound, not Shaking™. This allows you to feel pure resonance, not distortion, as the frequencies move through the water bladder and into the body.

They also operate with remarkable efficiency and control, producing a deep, full-bodied vibration even at moderate listening levels. Earlier models using Clark transducers tended to be louder at equivalent vibration intensity, while the VT200s achieve greater tactile depth with lower volume, making the experience more refined, relaxing, and acoustically balanced.

Q. Why did InnerSoulutions choose the Ibeam VT200 Transducers?

A. After testing and working with multiple transducer types since 1999, we found the Ibeam VT200 to deliver the most accurate, musical, and dependable performance available.

These transducers reproduce both low-frequency vibration and high-frequency harmonics with exceptional clarity, giving our Liquid Sound Tables their signature smooth and lifelike feel. The Ibeam’s structural design allows the energy to transfer efficiently through our 4-inch water bladder system, producing deep, even resonance across the entire table surface.

Their low-heat operation and long-term reliability make them ideal for daily professional use, from wellness centers and therapists to private home environments. Most importantly, the VT200 transducers allow us to achieve what we call “Sound, not Shaking™”: a coherent, full-spectrum experience that feels musical and restorative rather than mechanical.

At InnerSoulutions, we’ve continued to refine every detail, from transducer placement geometry to amplifier pairing, to ensure the Ibeam VT200s perform at their absolute best in each handcrafted table we build.

Q. Are transducers like speakers?

A. Not exactly. Audio speakers are designed to produce sound pressure waves that move through the air: what we hear (and occasionally feel) when a system, like a subwoofer, plays at high volume. Their main purpose is to create audible sound, not physical vibration.

Transducers, on the other hand, are engineered to take the same audio input but convert it primarily into physical vibration rather than airborne sound. This vibration moves through solid materials, like the surface of a Liquid Sound Table, allowing the body to feel the sound directly.

Our high-end Ibeam VT200 transducers produce exceptionally accurate and smooth vibration while also delivering clean, natural sound quality as a secondary effect. Unlike inexpensive models, they run cool and efficiently, offering both long-term reliability and a refined vibroacoustic experience.

Q. Why do you mount transducers under the diaphragm instead of inside the foam?

A. A few table designs build transducers directly into a foam pad. It sounds efficient on paper, but foam creates two separate problems for a transducer, not just one.

The first is the one most people think about: foam dampens vibration. Its structure is full of tiny trapped air pockets, and those pockets absorb energy instead of carrying it. That is why a foam-based system tends to feel localized and buzzy rather than full-body, and it is the same reason our Liquid Sound Table uses water instead.

The second problem is heat, and it gets less attention. Every tactile transducer generates heat at its voice coil, more so during sustained low-frequency work, which is exactly what a 30 to 45 minute VAT session asks of it. That is why quality transducers are built with vented housings or aluminum heat sinks: the heat needs somewhere to go. Foam is a poor thermal conductor for the same structural reason it is a poor vibration conductor. Embed a transducer inside foam and you are wrapping it in insulation at the moment it is working hardest to stay cool.

Over a full session, a transducer running hot can lose low-end output and become inconsistent, sometimes described as feeling thin, spiky, or dropping out at the bottom end. Lower-cost transducers are also prone to a related problem by design: a poorly damped unit will show a sharp resonant peak (often somewhere in the 40 to 50 Hz range) with the response falling away on either side. The result is a vibration that is strong at one narrow band and weak everywhere else, rather than the even delivery a session actually needs.

We mount our transducers to the underside of a rigid Baltic birch diaphragm, in open air, not sealed inside foam. It carries vibration cleanly into the water bladder above it, and it gives the transducer room to shed heat the way it was engineered to. Two problems, one design decision.

Q. Why use transducers with such a wide range of vibration?

A. Many sound tables use transducers built mainly for bass vibration, with useful output across a narrow band. Our Ibeam VT200 transducers deliver tactile response from 20 Hz to roughly 800 Hz, which is the full range generally recognized for vibro-tactile stimulation.

That wider range matters because it changes what you can actually feel. Solfeggio tones, tuning fork work, harmonic overtones, and the upper structure of music all live above the bass region. On a narrow-band table those are heard but not felt. On ours they arrive in the body along with everything below them, which is what gives a session its sense of fullness rather than thump.

It also means the table responds honestly to whatever you play through it. A frequency track, a live instrument, or a piece of vibroacoustic music each carries information across a wide span, and a transducer that only reproduces part of that span delivers only part of the work.

Q. Can I use an MP3 Player?

A. Many people use an iPod, iPad, smart phone, laptop, or MP3 player as the source for their Sound Tables or Chairs. I have found newer MP3 players with a “Line Out” work well. They work well with higher quality MP3 tracks like ours. This is what we are using at present with our sound tables, along with a small Bluetooth 5.x receiver.

Q. What do I need to play my harp through a Sound Table or Sound Chair (VAHT™)?

A. Think of your Sound Table or Sound Chair as a set of specialized speakers: in this case, transducers that translate sound into vibration. Just like any speaker system, they need an amplifier and a clean, strong input signal to perform well.

To connect your harp to the system, you’ll need:

1. A pickup: This converts the acoustic sound of your harp into an electrical signal.

2. A preamp or small mixer: A preamp (such as a Fishman or Crate) or compact mixer boosts that signal so it’s strong enough to drive the amplifier in the chair or table.

3. An amplifier: This powers the transducers, turning your harp’s audio into the rich, physical vibration you’ll feel through the table or chair. (An amplifier comes standard with every InnerSoulutions Sound Table and Sound Chair.)

A small mixer is often the best all-around solution. It not only includes a preamp for gain control but also offers EQ adjustment to sculpt your harp’s tone for the most natural vibration response. Most mixers have a stereo output that connects easily to the amplifier.

Mixers also let you add other sound sources, such as recorded music, VAT Frequencies, or accompaniment tracks, blending them seamlessly with your live harp performance. This setup gives you both creative flexibility and optimal signal strength, allowing your clients to feel the harp’s full spectrum of sound through the body.

Q. Will the Liquid Sound Table work with Rife frequencies?

A. Yes. Our Liquid Sound Tables are fully compatible with Rife frequencies and other frequency-based systems. From 2018 through 2022, we built custom Liquid Sound Tables and Chairs for the RASHA organization, which combined our vibroacoustic technology with their photon tube systems.

Practitioners reported excellent results. The water-based design and Ibeam VT200 transducers allowed Rife frequencies to transmit smoothly and accurately through the entire body. This created a balanced experience in which subtle energetic frequencies and physical resonance complemented each other naturally.

Our transducers reproduce frequencies you can feel from 20 Hz to roughly 800 Hz, making the Liquid Sound Table well suited to many of the Rife frequencies and Rife-type systems, Solfeggio tones, harmonic therapy, and experimental frequency work.

Q. Where are your tables built?

A. Here in western New York. I have been working with sound and energy healing since 1987 and building sound tables since 1999, and I still finish wiring our tables under our pyramid, which clients who work with energy tend to appreciate. These tables are produced from our hearts and with your intent as well as our own.

We have built 800+ tables now, on five continents, for everyone from five star spas to Grammy winners to private massage therapists to individuals looking for help with stress or pain. We are doing what we love, and it is what lets our hearts sing.

For our folding tables, we work with a Northern California massage table manufacturer who builds the base structure here in the US. We then take the shell, change out the plywood diaphragm, and mount our transducers. Each table is then finished, wired, and tested individually by hand.

Q. What is the difference between your Sound Tables and some of the others?

A. The clearest difference is in the components and the time spent on each table.

I have been building sound tables since 1999, and that experience shows in every one we make. We focus on delivering the best user experience possible, and on building a table that will serve you faithfully for many years.

Here is what sets our tables apart:

• We hand-build our Liquid Sound Tables and Stationary Sound Tables in the US.

• We use high-quality transducers that retail around $350 each. Many tables on the market use units that retail in the $25 to $50 range. That gap is not arbitrary: it shows up in bandwidth, in efficiency, in heat, and in how long the unit lasts under daily use.

• Our transducers deliver tactile response from 20 Hz to roughly 800 Hz, the full range generally recognized for vibro-tactile stimulation, rather than a narrow band centered on bass.

• These newer-technology transducers require less input power to produce meaningful vibration, resulting in more vibration with less sound. The experience can be deeply felt by the body while remaining comfortable in the room for others.

• We select transducers with very accurate frequency response and minimal distortion or noise. Lower-cost units are typically less well damped, which produces a sharp peak at one frequency and weak response on either side of it. Ours give an even, smooth, deeply relaxing vibration across the range.

• Because the energy is delivered so cleanly, the brain interprets the stimulus as “Sound, not Shaking™”, a signature element of our design philosophy.

• These transducers also operate with minimal heat output, unlike many low-cost alternatives. Lower heat means better reliability, longer life, and fewer service issues over time.

Q. Do you offer user support?

A. Yes. We provide ongoing phone and email support for any questions you may have, both before and after you purchase your table. Whether you’re setting up your system, integrating audio sources, or exploring new ways to use vibroacoustics, we’re here to help.

Stephen personally offers support and consultation for individual users, wellness professionals, and larger projects. He has been working consciously with healing frequencies since 1987 and building sound tables since 1999, bringing decades of real-world experience to every conversation.

We also maintain an extensive Blog with educational articles on vibroacoustic therapy, sound design, and equipment setup, as well as a book, Vibroacoustics – Harmonize Your Life with Sound, which offers deeper insight into this field.
