All Pulse Rates are beneficial to the body! But different PPS settings provide different Pulsing experiences and meet different needs. Let’s dive into the differences.
General Guidance
How to Control PPS
Solid State Systems

Advanced solid-state systems like thePulse XL Pro give owners full, independent control of the Pulse Rate and the Strength. This design unlocks 19 different Pulse Rates, including the Schumann Resonance, the same frequency as the earth’s geomagnetic field. Combined with Magnetic Field Strength increments up to 101 percent, that’s over 1,500 unique settings to dial in your experience at a level of precision that makes any session fully repeatable.

Mechanical Machines
With mechanical machines like the Pulse X, Pulse X1, and all EQ units, a single dial controls both the Strength and the Pulse Rate, inversely. As you increase the Strength, you decrease the Pulses per second. And as you decrease the Strength, you increase the Pulses per second. Although this arrangement doesn’t provide much control over Pulse Rates, they are still part of the Pulsing experience.
Solid State Systems
In terms of tangible experience, the delivery of the Pulse through a mechanical machine typically feels sharper to the user. Solid state systems, on the other hand, deliver smoother pulsing sensations even at higher strengths.
Benefits Related to PPS
Overall, the benefits of Pulsing at slower pulse rates and faster pulse rates are comparable. You will not miss the mark for achieving results by choosing a low or high PPS.
Benefits by Range
In general, lower to moderate Pulse rates typically provide an energizing experience, while higher Pulse rates offer a calming experience. Cater your selection of PPS settings to the needs of each user with comfort top-of-mind!
Moderate pulse rates from 2.5 to 5.0 deliver more pulses per second without sacrificing power at the peak of the pulse. For that reason, this range provides a more energizing, high-impact experience.
Higher pulse rates from 7.8 to 9.9 tend to relax the body and provide a soothing experience. The Schumann Resonance at 7.8 PPS mimics the pulsing geomagnetic field or the “earth’s heartbeat.” This and higher pulse rates capitalize on the same self-healing benefits as “grounding” or “earthing.”
