Bass absorber corner element 108x64x23cm

Corner unit bass traps composition

The corner unit bass trap is filled with high density acoustic wool of 90kg/m3 surrounded by a heavy and dense 2cm thick wooden structure .
The combination of heavy weight and high density ensures optimal bass absorption in the corners.
The way the corner unit bass trap functions as a bass absorber is that it absorbs the random bass energy of all directions that tends to hit the corners and overload the room. And thereby, to destroy the acoustics of a room.
The attractive, 45-degree wedge shape allows easy positioning in the corner.

Placing a Corner Unit Bass Trap

The bass traps are equipped with 5 cm high feet, allowing the units to be pushed into the corner even if there are parquet borders. You can order the feet in any size, and this will not affect the total amount payable. The feet are attached to the units with a single screw each, making it easy to remove them if you wish to stack several acoustic bass traps.

You can easily stack the Corner Unit Bass Traps, thereby increasing the bass absorption of the room. If the stack of units does not reach the ceiling due to a lack of space for an additional standard unit, you can contact our expert, who will be able to create a custom-sized unit to fit the gap.

Simply place the corner units in the corner without needing to screw or fix them, and they will stand stably on their feet, even when stacked. By filling in the corners completely, they are perfectly suited for professional studios or home theaters.

Application

The bass trap can be placed even on the table if we have a smaller room, or if there is a wall to wall studio table

Piled-up Bass Traps Producing Significantly Higher Bass Absorption

The Corner Unit Bass Trap is especially functional because it is compact, allowing you to place it in almost any environment. Although facilities worldwide use the bass traps from PERFECT ACOUSTIC, they are most efficient in smaller rooms and homes where acoustics can only be improved later without major reconstruction.

The Results with the Corner Unit Bass Absorbers of Perfect Acoustic

As most of the bass tends to accumulate in the corners and then multiplies from there, it can create large peaks or dips of up to ±30dB. By placing the Corner Unit Bass Trap in the corners, the accumulated bass will either be absorbed or significantly reduced. This will stop or decrease the resulting standing waves, smoothing out the dips and peaks in the frequency response.

Measurement Sound Pressure Value

As you can see, the dip below 90Hz completely destroys the low frequencies, resulting in dull and undynamic bass, while the room reverberates with a growling and buzzing sound due to the excessive bass.

Measurement Sound Pressure Value

Here, you can see how the sound pressure curve is smoothed with a bass trap. The portion below 90Hz rises, revealing more details, dynamics, and space in the bass. In this case, reverberation will also significantly decrease. The more Corner Unit Bass Traps you place in a room, the better you can control and smooth out the lower frequencies.

The Bass Traps of Perfect Acoustic

Perfect Acoustic bass traps should not be mistaken for low-quality materials from other companies, such as lightweight structures or foam, styrofoam, or low-density absorbing materials. General foam with a density of 20-30 kg/m³ cannot effectively absorb deep sounds. In our range, we offer extra high-density 80 kg/m³ Elitexa acoustic foam, which, due to its higher density, can absorb deep sounds effectively.

Corner Unit Bass Traps

FAQ:

Should we place these corner units only in the corners?
Yes, due to their design, we specifically place them in the corners. While it is possible to place them elsewhere, it would not look as appropriate.

Do these heavy bass traps break when piled up?
While they are indeed heavy, their absorbing material is protected by a very strong and rigid wooden structure. Therefore, you can safely stack up to three bass traps without any issue.

Should we mount the Corner Unit Bass Traps on the wall, or how should we fix them to prevent them from falling?
The bass traps from Perfect Acoustic are heavy and very rigid, so they cannot fall due to their shape and size, even when 2-3 units are stacked.

What to Do If There Is a Parquet Border Along the Corners, Preventing Us from Pushing the Corner Unit Completely into the Corner?

That’s why we designed each corner unit with 5 cm high, sturdy wooden feet. You can order the feet in any size that fits your needs.

If the Corner Units Are Equipped with Feet, How Can We Pile Them Up So That It Would Not Be Visible That They Are Individual Panels?

The feet of each bass trap are fixed with a thick screw, which you can easily remove with a Phillips screwdriver in just a minute. This allows you to construct a continuous series of panels in the corner without showing that they are individual units.

Why Is It Not Sufficient to Just Turn a Broadband Panel in the Corner? Wouldn’t It Have the Same Effect?

While this method is not bad and is indeed cheaper, it cannot produce the same sound absorption capacity as a corner unit bass trap. This is because there is significantly more absorbing material within the corner unit, making it much more efficient.

If I Want to Pile Up Several Bass Traps But There Is No Room Because of the Ceiling, Could You Make a Smaller or Custom Size Unit?

Yes, of course. If this is the case, you just need to specify the desired height, and we will produce exactly that size. You don’t need to calculate it precisely—just order a unit that is 1-2 cm shorter to account for any irregularities in the wall or floor.

Is It Possible for You to Produce Corner Units Smaller in Width as Well as Smaller in Height?

Yes, we can make them in any width. However, you should keep in mind that if you order one that is too narrow, it will lose its effectiveness. If there isn’t enough space, it is advisable to order a Cube bass trap for the corner. The Cube bass trap contains twice as much absorbing material due to its square shape, which doubles its sound absorption capacity.

I Cannot Decide Which Sound Absorber to Place in the Room First: the Broadband or the Corner Unit?

It depends on several factors. If, like many others, you have problems with the bass, you should start with the bass trap. If you only want to reduce the echo in an office, living room, or workplace, you should use broadband acoustic panels.

Is the Type of Cover Also Relevant for the Bass Traps? Does It Make Sense to Use a Diffuser Face Plate or a Membrane for Them?

Yes, of course. It depends on the acoustics of the room. If you wish to add a diffuser face plate to the bass trap for decorative purposes, it will only enhance its efficiency. Alternatively, you can decorate it with a photo of your choice—either choose one from our website or bring your own.

If your room sounds slightly dull but rumbling, it is recommended to consider a wooden or leather membrane for better acoustics.

What Kind of Sound Can I Expect if I Place It in My Room?

The bass will be captured immediately. The more units you place in the room, the calmer the space will become. The rumbling of low frequencies will cease, and the details of the bass will emerge. High frequencies will be much cleaner and more spacious, as the excessive bass that previously suppressed them is no longer present. This will provide a significant benefit in the details of the sound. As unnecessary bass reverberation disappears, you will be able to increase the volume without the sound becoming offensive or disturbing.

Can I Use the Bass Trap for Soundproofing?

These products are not suitable for soundproofing. A different structural design is needed for that purpose. However, if you want to reduce how much your neighbors or family hear your music, these bass traps will work perfectly. Due to their high sound absorption capacity across the full frequency range, especially in the lower frequencies, they can reduce the volume in an adjacent room by up to 15-20 dB.

Is the Sound Absorbing Material Inside the Corner Unit Bass Trap Harmful to Health? Can It Get Out of the Acoustic Panel?

The acoustic wool we use has been specially developed for this purpose and is completely harmless to health. This applies not only to the bass traps but also to all of our sound-absorbing acoustic panels. To eliminate the risk of dust emission, each of our acoustic panels contains a dust emission inhibitor. Additionally, we use high-density acoustic velvet that prevents dust from escaping and blocks most light from passing through the gaps.
