The
original corner loaded bass trap, TubeTraps are cylinder shaped for
strength and come with a built-in treble range diffuser.  Unlike
membrane or resonant bass traps, TubeTraps are extremely fast because
they are impedance matched to sound waves.  They easily handle unwanted
bass energy buildup from transients as well as from sustained tones, and
reduce mode coupling.  They enhance room ambience while improving
transient dynamics.   TubeTraps deliver an unforgettably articulate,
musical bass line. 

The
TubeTrap's claim to fame is its unrivaled ability to absorb low
frequency sound energy.  After its release to the public, it quickly
became the de facto standard for acoustic room treatment.  Generally set
up in the corners of the room where they act like sonic shock
absorbers, TubeTraps eliminate excessive build-up of bass energy in the
room while their built-in diffusers minimize flutter echo by
horizontally scattering mid-high frequency sounds to provide fine
grained lateral ambience.

• Great for reducing unwanted bass boom in the corners of your room


• Available in a variety of sizes, each with their own absorptive properties


• 30 day, 100% satisfaction guarantee


• Sturdy hand crafted construction

Benefits

The TubeTrap is designed to absorb sound energy when in the presence
of bass range sound pressure.  The higher the pressure, the more energy
is absorbed. Bass pressure is 4 to 8 times stronger in the corners of
the room than away from the corners. TubeTraps are usually stacked
floor-to-ceiling in columns in all four corners of the typical audio
room. Each corner acts like a giant megaphone in reverse, compressing
incoming sound waves into the narrow volume at the root of each corner
of the room. This corner compression of bass waves creates the perfect
location for a pressure zone bass trap: the TubeTrap.

Not only do corners compress bass waves into pure pressure zones, but
standing waves and room modes also fully compress into the corners.
Corner loaded pressure zone bass traps, TubeTraps, are extremely
efficient at controlling bass throughout the whole room by extracting
energy out of the corners of the room.

Sound is stored in the volume of the room and absorbed on the
surfaces of the room. The bass range is best absorbed in the corners of
the room. Small rooms have a fairly large percentage of their room
volume tied up in the 8 high-pressure zones (the corners), so bass
buildup is inevitable with the use of high-power systems, and space is
at a premium for sound absorption. Corner loaded pressure zone bass
traps are perfectly suited to efficiently reduce bass energy buildup  in
small audio playback rooms: the TubeTrap.

Seasoned
listeners, from professional recording engineers and studio musicians,
to passionate audiophiles and cinemaphiles, all agree about one
important aspect of listening.  For the most part, listeners are not
listening to their sound system being played in their room, but are
actually listening to their room as it is being played by the sound
system.  In audio playback, the room is the instrument and the sound
system is the musician who plays the instrument.

It is very true that most people cannot imagine such a situation
because, until we learn better, our eyes deceive our hearing. Our ears
always tell us the true story but our eyes clearly see the loudspeakers
and the source of the sound is clearly (visually) the loudspeakers. Our
sight overrides our ear's perception of the sound and convinces us that
we are hearing the loudspeakers. And if we are quite close to the
loudspeakers, this perception is absolutely true. But set back in the
traditional audiophile listening position, we are too far away from the
speaker to clearly hear them. It is the room filled with sound that we
are actually listening to.

The
efforts expended in adding acoustical treatment to a room are intended
to quiet the overpowering reflective voice of the room so we can better
acoustically listen to our high quality loudspeakers. A very odd thing
happens as the room acoustic is quieted down, the loudspeakers actually
disappear and the sonic impression of where the sound is coming from
occurs on an invisible sonic stage that spreads the width of the room
and even wraps around the listener. It is much deeper that the distance
the speakers are located off the front wall. Not only is there a lateral
expanse to the sound stage but a depth as well. In a great sounding
room, even the best speaker falls silent, and becomes the sculpture of
the ever changing sound stage. But, enough of what the end of the trail
looks like for now; let's look into what the humble beginning of this
same trail looks like.

The performance of rooms that have been treated with even just a few
TubeTraps is always improved.  But the description of the improved
performance at first seems to defy logic, and it certainly defies one's
initial expectations.  From the audiophile's perspective, a number of
expected results are amply realized. Adding TubeTraps into the corners
of the room does seem to smooth out the bass response.  It removes bass
boom.  The bass becomes more dynamic, more lively and musical, compared
to its formerly sluggish nature.  The bass extension down into the first
octave is readily noticed, as it picks up more bottom end.  And this is
what one expects to hear when the bass response in the room is better
controlled.

However, another whole range of improvements are also accounted for:
improvements in the treble range that are not particularly sensitive to
the position of the inset treble diffusion panels.  These improvements
in the treble performance belong to the improvement in the bass
performance.  Because the bass sound levels cannot build up, the bass
levels are more normalized to the rest of the musical spectrum. 
Formerly hidden details in the treble range are being revealed as the
bass buildup becomes controlled.  Along with this comes the impression
of increased musicality and imaging.  Additionally, the listening space
seems to take the character of a fantasy space, something much larger
and spacious than the small dimensions of the physical listening room
would normally provide.

And so we have learned that there is a lot of sound masking going on
in loud, small listening rooms. As the room is quieted down, the sound
masking effects are reduced and more subtle musical and imaging
information becomes audible. Curiously, adding treble range sound panels
and diffusers alone does not clear up these masking problems because
these masking problems are caused by excessive bass buildup, and only
bass traps can address this aspect of small room acoustics.
