Often, when watching a movie or loud music, we encounter buzz at certain points in the room. This effect is called "resonance" or "standing wave".
Such effects arise due to the superposition of two reflected waves, the amplitude of which increases at least twice.
Such effects are often subject to low frequencies due to their wavelength, and they need to be dealt with as with higher frequencies.
The effect of "resonance" is often observed in the corners of the room and under the ceiling, since it is easiest for a wave to double its amplitude due to reflection at the junction of two surfaces.
To solve such problems, they usually offer several diffusers tuned to the same frequency or complex designs that require complex installation and the presence of a specialist to properly configure such devices.
A simpler and no less effective method of dealing with low frequencies are bass traps made of acoustic foam rubber. Due to their lightness and shape, they can be installed quite easily by one person and transform annoying buzz into thermal energy.

Bass Traps Methods

Bass traps are most often installed in the corners of the room using special glue or very strong double-sided tape. For accurate acoustic correction, you can also install bass traps on racks, which will allow you to easily change the position of the absorber at any time and put it in the most problematic place.
By using Bass Traps in conjunction with Corner Cubes, you will increase the effectiveness of your sound deadening structures.
Acoustic panels are known to be effective at medium and high frequencies, but cannot effectively absorb low frequencies due to their thickness and shape. However, when using the bass trap along with other acoustic panels, you will get uniform absorption of the entire sound range.

Varieties of Bass Traps

Bass traps come in a variety of shapes and sizes, allowing you to make the right choice for your application. Their shape affects the reflected wave and its effective frequency range.
Bass traps with sharp saw blades have a wider absorption band than flatter ones. The size of the bass trap is selected depending on the size of the room and the desired correction.
Larger bass traps can absorb the lower frequency range, while smaller ones can work effectively in smaller rooms where unwanted frequencies are slightly higher.

Scope of application

Sound absorbers are widely used in places with high acoustic pressure to solve such problems:

To obtain high quality recorded material in recording rooms, high-quality acoustic correction is indispensable.
On concert stages, in large rooms, reverberation can spoil the live sound. The intelligibility and sound quality of powerful speakers drops significantly due to reflections from the walls and turns into continuous noise.
If you're planning on building a multi-person home theater system in a small space, you're bound to run into lousy sound near corners and walls.

To solve complex problems, our company is ready to provide you with a specialist who can help with advice, as well as correctly calculate the acoustics of your room.

Advantages

Modern acoustic absorbers are made on the basis of acoustic foam rubber, which does not burn and is absolutely non-toxic.
Due to their elastic structure, foam rubber-based acoustic absorbers are able to restore their shape after strong mechanical impacts.
Unlike acoustic wool and other more complex absorbers, acoustic foam bass traps do not require complex installation and special surface requirements.

Knowing these advantages and having the necessary skills, you can do the acoustic finishing of your room for less money.

How to choose the right bass trap?

When choosing absorbers, first of all, you need to consider the size and volume of the room.
You should also take into account the characteristics of your speaker system and its placement, which will allow you to improve acoustics in the most problematic places.
When setting a task for acoustic correction, it is necessary to take into account any elements of the room, as well as the people who will be there, as they will make changes to the acoustic characteristics of the room.

When choosing acoustic absorbers, you may encounter the following questions:

What absorber size is right for my needs?
What result can I expect?
How much acoustic material do you need?
How to place the material?

With any question, you can seek advice from a specialist who will help with the choice of material and perform a preliminary calculation of the room.
You can buy bass traps for independent use at our warehouse in Kyiv, or by ordering delivery across Ukraine by a service convenient for you.
