Bass Trap Square Type Acoustic Absorber 48 Inches x 6 Inches x 6 Inches
Overview
Bass Trap Square Type
The next best thing to egg crate design. Serious recording and playback room needs serious acoustic treatment. The three-inch thick absorbers provide more than sufficient sound absorption up to the mid-low frequencies.
Acoustic Enhancement
The objective is to enhance the properties of sound by
improving speech clarity and sound quality.
For this reason, acoustic foam is often used in recording
studios. The purpose is to reduce, but not entirely eliminate resonance within
the room. This is achieved by placing similar sized pieces of foam, often in
the shape of cones or triangles, on opposite walls.
How Acoustic Foam Works
Acoustic foam is a lightweight material made from
polyurethane foam either polyether or polyester, and also extruded melamine
foam. It is usually cut into tiles - often with pyramid or wedge shapes - which
are suited to placing on the walls of a recording studio or a similar type of
environment to act as a sound absorber, thus enhancing the sound quality within
a room.
Features
- Acoustic foam reduces or eliminates echoes and background
noises by controlling the reverberation that sound can make by bouncing off
walls. This type of sound absorption is different from soundproofing, which is
typically used to keep sound from escaping or entering a room.
- Acoustic foam typically deals more with the mid and high
frequencies. To deal with lower frequencies, much thicker pieces of acoustic
foam are needed; large pieces of acoustic foam are often placed in the corners
of a room and are called acoustic foam corner bass traps.
- Acoustic foam is primarily used in recording studios to
minimize sound echoes. However, you can perform the same function in home
theaters, manufacturing facilities, equipment warehouses, home offices,
gymnasiums and auditoriums. It can be placed in any room where an optimal sound
mix is desired.
- Acoustic foam is often used to reduce echoes by attaching it
to the walls of large rooms, like churches, synagogues and temples. Using
jagged acoustic foam to baffle the sound can help, as does hanging sound
baffles that break up the empty space in high ceilings and large rooms.
- The effectiveness of acoustic foam panels can be increased
by ensuring there is an air gap between the foam panels and the walls. Doing
this exposes a great surface area of the foam panels to incident waves
increasing the amount of absorption. Spacing the foam from the wall also has
the advantage of reducing any damage spray adhesive would have on a wall or
painted surface.
- In some restaurants the pictures on the walls can be
acoustical panels, obviously with an image over it.
- Our products are tailor-made to eliminate sound reflections
and are very porous, with many pathways that redirect sound and a large surface
area to accommodate the friction that cause it to lose energy. They have
noticeable capacity to block sound, but the absorption properties enhance
isolation by stopping air movement that would otherwise allow sound and noise
to travel.
- Sound absorber thickness has the greatest impact on the
sound absorbing qualities. The inherent composition and porousness of our
acoustical material is formulated to maximize acoustical performance. Proper
application and selection of thickness can greatly improve the acoustic
properties of a room without sounding lean or dead.
