New MiniTraps Line from RealTraps
 April 16, 2003
Following onto their
wood panel bass traps, RealTraps has introduced a new membrane trap
that also absorbs midrange and high frequencies. Besides nearly three times the performance of foam corners at 100 Hz., MiniTraps
are small and easy to handle. And with an introductory price of $159.99
they'll appeal to most budgets. Since MiniTraps are made with
rigid fiberglass and metal instead of foam, they are fire resistant and can
be installed in public venues.
According to RealTraps co-owner Ethan Winer, "The main problem in most
studios and listening rooms is standing waves that cause severe variations
in the low frequency response. Many engineers and audiophiles cover their
walls with foam, which just makes the room too dead at mid and high
frequencies, while doing nothing for the low end. MiniTraps are much more
absorbent than foam at low frequencies, so they do a superior job overall
and with fewer pieces. Their light weight and small size also makes them
ideal for larger installations like churches and auditoriums. Best of all,
they install easily with one nail or hook - just like a picture - without
glue or wall damage."
Complete product details and performance data are on the RealTraps web site. Also at the RealTraps site is room treatment advice
showing solutions for common problems, and a detailed explanation of
acoustic product testing methods.
