A garment connection. Electrical muscle stimulation applies electrical current to stimulate muscle contractions. In the 2011 system, the controller, garment and app work together to deliver and control those pulses. [Image: 2011 garment with illustrated electrode zones](https://www.macroseatech.com/assets/products/neutral-r30/suit-front.webp) 01 / Garment ### Places the electrodes. The garment holds the electrode zones in a defined layout. Coverage changes with the full body, top, shorts or long pants format.

The 2011 controller connects to the garment and provides 16 independent outputs, with an operating frequency of 1 to 100 Hz.

Three different details. Electrodes, garment channels and controller outputs describe different parts of the system. Read them together when comparing a product configuration. [View product resources](https://www.macroseatech.com/resources/downloads/) ### Electrodes The garment contact areas The 2011 full body garment has 20 electrodes positioned across the front and back. ### Garment channels The garment control layout The full body garment has 10 channels. The top, shorts and long pants have their own channel counts. ### Controller outputs The electronic hardware The 2011 controller has 16 independent outputs. This capacity is listed separately from the connected garment layout. ## Start with the coverage . Build the system around it . A product brief can begin with a full body garment or a focused format, then define the controller, app and brand requirements. 03 / Compare the garment coverage ## Four formats. Four electrode layouts. These are the 2011 garment specifications. The family uses the 2011 controller and MBODY app. [2011 full body suit worn by a model](https://www.macroseatech.com/products/2011-ems-suits/#full-body) ### Full body suit Full body - **Electrodes:** 20 - **Garment channels:** 10 [View garment](https://www.macroseatech.com/products/2011-ems-suits/#full-body) [2011 training top worn by a model](https://www.macroseatech.com/products/2011-ems-suits/#training-top) ### Training top Upper body - **Electrodes:** 18 - **Garment channels:** 9 [View garment](https://www.macroseatech.com/products/2011-ems-suits/#training-top) [2011 training shorts worn by a model](https://www.macroseatech.com/products/2011-ems-suits/#shorts) ### Training shorts Lower body - **Electrodes:** 10 - **Garment channels:** 5 [View garment](https://www.macroseatech.com/products/2011-ems-suits/#shorts) [2011 long pants worn by a model](https://www.macroseatech.com/products/2011-ems-suits/#long-pants) ### Long pants Lower body, including calves - **Electrodes:** 12 - **Garment channels:** 6 [View garment](https://www.macroseatech.com/products/2011-ems-suits/#long-pants) 04 / Define the product ## Turn the system into a product brief. All catalog products support OEM or ODM, and new EMS products can be developed from an idea or drawing. [See the development process](https://www.macroseatech.com/oem-odm/development-process/) - **Coverage and garment:** Choose a full body or focused format. Describe your style, fit, fabric and electrode layout requirements. - **Control experience:** Choose the control approach. The range includes wired, wireless without an app, and app controlled products. - **Brand and presentation:** Share the logo, colors and packaging you need. Include UI and membership requirements for a dedicated app. - **Quantity and scope:** Send your company, product, estimated quantity and customization. Dedicated app work starts at 100 garment and controller sets. [Compare the EMS shorts control formats](https://www.macroseatech.com/products/ems-shorts/) 05 / EMS questions ## Understand the configuration. The basic terms and decisions behind a connected EMS product. **What does EMS mean?** EMS means electrical muscle stimulation. It applies electrical current to stimulate muscle contractions. **What is the difference between an electrode and a channel?** Electrodes are the contact areas in the garment. Garment channels describe its controlled electrode layout. Controller outputs are a separate hardware specification. **Why does the 2011 full body garment have 10 channels while the controller has 16 outputs?** The two numbers describe different components. The full body garment has 20 electrodes across 10 garment channels. The controller supports 16 independent outputs. **Does an EMS product always need an app?** Only the 2011 controller uses MBODY. The 902 controller is wired, while the 2105C is a compact wireless controller. Both operate without an app. **What does 2105C identify?** 2105C is a controller model. The same controller is used across compatible EMS pads and belt products. **Are the controller families interchangeable?** No. The 2011, 902 and 2105C controller families are not interchangeable. Match each product to its specified controller. **Can MacroSea develop a new EMS product?** Yes. OEM and ODM work is available for catalog products and for new EMS products. A new product can begin with an idea or drawing, followed by design, sampling, testing and production. **How is the garment cleaned?** Remove the controller before washing. Hand wash the garment, or place it in a laundry bag and use a gentle machine wash cycle. ## Define your next EMS product.
