Why did Orion's engineers pick 14.2 Hz instead of 10 Hz or 20 Hz?

14.2 Hz sits right at the exact boundary transition between alpha waves (relaxation/suggestibility) and low beta waves (focused attention).
Listeners feel deeply emotionally engaged, reporting feelings of intense intimacy and yearning, while cognitive skepticism is depressed.

Turn off your subwoofers and listen on a cheap transistor radio. The emotional pull changes completely.

Acoustic entrainment requires massive sound pressure levels. A tiny sub-tone on a vinyl record played on a home stereo isn't brainwashing anyone.
