DIY Acoustic Treatment
ultrafoam bass trap
Tighten up the bass end (50 to 120 Hz); reduce nodes and anti-nodes (peaks and troughs) that make bass notes sound muddy; i.e. inconsistent; overemphasised or underemphasised depending on where the listener is in the room; designed to be used where two surfaces meet at 90 degrees (usually where two walls meet).
Low frequencies involve large wavelengths, so absorbing low frequencies requires physically large bass traps. Therefore we recommend that you avoid purchasing bass traps that are smaller than 800mm across the face.
Size: 830 W x 1000 H x 200 D (mm)
Acoustic Performance: magic happens here: testing and experience say they work; but we've yet to do the mathematics to work out how they work
Recommendations on Use:
Place Bass traps in each of the four corners of the room; when more than one is required in each corner they can be stacked on top of each other. There is enough room in the corner behind our Bass Traps to install our Low-Mid Traps.
The following is a very rough guide:
- For Small Rooms (2700W x 3300D x 2400H) you'll need four (4) bass traps.
- For Medium Rooms (3000W x 3600D x 2700H) will require eight (8) bass traps.
- For Large Rooms ( 3300W x 4200D x 3000H) will require twelve (12) bass traps.
