Audimute Acoustic Bass Trap, Corner Bass Trap
Our NEW studio bass trap kit is used to capture low frequency sound. The acoustic bass trap kit includes 4 corner bass traps, which are most effective when placed in room corners. As more bass traps are added, the low end frequencies become tighter sounding, improving the listening environment.
Kit includes 4 acoustic bass traps. Each trap measures 2'x2' (4" thick). Onyx fabric covering.
Includes hanging/mounting hardware.
Natural Materials! No Fiberglass!

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.

I am an amateur musician having fun with my children and trying not to be on the frequent flyer program with the local police courtesy of my neighbors! In researching different ways to accomplish this, I found you guys through E-bay. Not only were you able to solve my soundproofing needs more afford-ably, I ended up with better recording quality and a decent looking room!

I'm a music producer wannabe and performer:) I had to move to a new place and for the first time I'm getting my own real room for music. Now, my room is very flat sounding as we say "dead" and Audimute Bass Traps are exactly what I was looking for! I put them in the corner to tune the room correctly and now I hear every little detail of my mixes far better than ever!

I have a recording studio and already have several 2x4 Audimute panels and 4 Bass Traps. I'm in need of another acoustic panel for one wall and have never seen any other product, in person or online, that compares to your products.
Pros: They are sonically very efficient, look great, and eco-friendly so I'm confident they will not hurt my health
Cons: None.
Thank you for such a great product! I will promote you whenever I can!

My bass traps arrived with timely shipping. Bass does not overpower the room with these in place. Thanks for the help!
