Acoustic Bass Traps, Corner Bass Trap by Audimute | Customize with Images!
When is the last time anyone asked you how you want your sound to look? With our new line of Image Acoustic Bass Traps, you not only will optimize the sound of your space by reducing bass buildup and standing waves, but will create a unique designer room that truly looks as phenomenal as it sounds! Typically used in recording studios and home theaters, a corner bass trap by Audimute can either be hung or placed on the floor in room corners to capture low frequencies.
A corner bass trap by Audimute is the perfect choice to add an artistic touch wherever sound needs to be improved and/or controlled. Packed with the greenest acoustic absorption material in the industry, most effective when placed in the corners of a room, a corner bass trap captures low frequency sounds that are often the most difficult to control. As more acoustic bass traps are added to a space, low frequencies become tighter-sounding, improving the listening environment.
*All orders for acoustic bass traps include hanging/mounting hardware.

Compare Audimute Bass Traps and Acoustic Panels - at a glance they seem to be the same product, but when you look deeper you'll find that they are used in a very different way.
So what's the difference?All absorption products are tested to determine their NRC, which is a measurement of how effective a certain material is in absorbing sound at different frequencies.
An NRC of 1.0 means that a product is perfectly absorptive - an NRC of 0 means it is perfectly reflective. Looking at the chart below, you'll notice that
Acoustic Bass Traps tested extremely well (over a 1.0 in many cases!) in the low frequency range, and about the same as Acoustic Panels in the high end range. Acoustic Panels, on the other hand, tested poorly in the low-end frequencies, but achieved an overall NRC of 1.00 due to their extreme effectiveness in the mid and high frequency range.

Comparing the NRCs in each of the frequency ranges above, it's easy to see why Audimute Bass Traps and Acoustic Panels differ in their intended use. A few other differences between the two products are listed below:
- Audimute Bass Traps are made specifically to address low frequency sound. Audimute Acoustic Panels, on the other hand, are made to absorb mid and high frequencies.
- Both products are hand constructed and feature metal frames, quality fabric, and eco-C-tex absorption technology, but the thickness of the each product determines its function. Audimute Bass Traps are 4" thick, which makes it an ideal product for capturing low end frequencies, whereas Absorption Panels are 2" thick and perfect for absorbing the mids and highs.
- Bass Traps are meant to be installed in the corners of the room, where low-end frequencies tend to gather. Acoustic panels, on the other hand, are to be hung on the upper portion of walls to absorb the echoes and reflections that bounce back and forth within a space.

How do I know
how much sound this product will absorb?
NRC ratings are
one of the best ways to compare similar sound absorption products and
determine which are most effective in absorbing sound at various
frequencies. The higher the NRC rating, the more effective the product.
How are NRC ratings determined?
Only
products that have been tested in a controlled lab setting receive an
NRC rating. The process of determining a product's NRC involves testing
its performance across some of the most common frequencies, then
averaging the sum of these individual ratings to determine the product's
overall NRC. In general, an NRC of 0 means a product is perfectly
reflective, whereas an NRC of 1 means the product is perfectly
absorptive.
Another way to look at these ratings is as a
percentage. For example, if a product has an overall NRC of 1.00, the product is estimated to absorb up to 100% of the mid and high frequencies in a room!
NRC Depends on Proper Use &
Installation
It's important to remember
that the NRC of sound absorption products is
determined based on proper use and installation. If a product has not
been installed following our recommended installation method, it may not
be as effective.
In general, sound absorption
products achieve poor NRC ratings in the
low frequency ranges, but do extremely well absorbing mid and high
frequencies. However, Bass Traps differ in that they are designed to specifically absorb low frequencies as well as mid and high frequencies. This difference in performance can be seen in the following sound lab report, which shows that Audimute Bass Traps achieved extremely high NRC ratings in the lower frequency range.
Please
feel free to give us a call at 866-505-MUTE if you have any questions
regarding the installation requirements of a specific Audimute product.

official sound lab
report for Audimute Bass Traps.

Customer Reviews

I just wanted to let you know that I am VERY impressed with your company thus far. I placed an order less than 2 weeks ago, uploaded the image a few days later, and I just got off the phone with someone an hour ago telling me that my custom panels will be shipping tomorrow. I believe you usually quote 3-4 for custom panels, and I ordered not one but 3...and it seems like I'll have them in a total of about 2 weeks! So nothing other than a thank you here. I’ve got antsy clients who are excited to get these (the panels are actually going up in a relatively famous restaurant!) and this early ship date made them very happy. I'll be sure to use your company in the future. Fast ship dates, a human voice when I call…truly great all around.
