Product Description
Our AlphaSorb® Acoustic Foam Bass Trap is built to provide maximum broadband absorption and low frequency control for listening environments that demand high-quality clean sound. Choose from either a flat or convoluted pattern and 2 ft. or 4 ft. heights for maximum design versatility. The lightweight, wedge-shaped construction of the bass trap allows for easy corner mounting, either vertically or horizontally. These acoustic bass traps can simply rest on the floor in the corners, or you can adhere the trap with water-based foam construction adhesive.
Our AlphaSorb® Acoustic Foam Bass Traps are entirely made from a Class 1 fire-rated melamine foam, making them well suited for use in both public and private spaces. These bass traps are commonly used in the broadcast and recording industries, concert spaces, and home theaters.
