Properties of Corner Unit – Sound Traps with Diffuser:

Our diffuser sound trap, also known as the corner element, is one of the most important sound treatment components in a room, as the majority of bass frequencies accumulate in the corners. Proper corner treatment is essential for achieving ideal acoustics.

The panel is also available with the latest Elitexa extra dense 200kg/m³ acoustic foam. In this case, the sound absorption below 400Hz is nearly doubled. As a result, the product’s weight almost doubles! The denser the material, the more low-frequency sound it can absorb.

It contains 90 kg/m³ of acoustic cotton, placed in a rigid wooden structure within our panels.
You can also order it with extra dense 80 kg/m³ Elitexa acoustic foam (additional cost applies).
The acoustic cotton used is completely harmless to health.

The outer layer is made of dense acoustic silk, which also provides dust protection.
The diffuser front is crafted from high-quality, hard, laminated, compressed wood, typically 3 mm thick. The irregular surface of the diffuser covers the entire frequency range, resulting in smooth, clean acoustics.

Sound traps and corner elements are necessary in rooms or studios where deep sound frequencies cannot be adequately managed.

Colours and patterns of panels and fronts:

• With 16 different silk colours
• diffuser fronts are available in 8 colours and 4 patterns
• a combination of these can also be ordered

Cleaning:

The diffuser can be wiped with a slightly damp cloth. The silk does not lose its color or elasticity over time.

When choosing a color, consider practicality. Many people order acoustic silk/material in white or off-white, but maintaining these colors requires more care, as they get dirty more easily. Our sound traps can be wiped with a damp cloth, but white or off-white materials will accumulate dust and stains over time.

How Are Diffuser Sound Traps Better Than Other Products?

The primary goal of the diffuser corner sound trap is to absorb more deep frequencies while attenuating treble as little as possible. Hard wall louvres are more effective at absorbing low frequencies than broadband acoustic panels.

In addition to sound absorption, the diffuser also has excellent properties for tone diffusion and scattering. The diffuser corner sound trap elements effectively absorb excessive low frequencies starting from 40 Hz, while absorbing less treble from 600 Hz upwards and more low frequencies from 300 Hz downwards, making it more effective than classic acoustic panels.

Diffuser Sound Trap, Corner Element, Sound Absorbing Properties:

It attenuates unwanted sound waves across a wide range from 40 Hz to 20,000 Hz.

All our products are constantly measured and tested to ensure optimal performance.

Sound Traps Audibility

We strive to keep diffuser fronts in stock in all sizes, patterns, and colors.

The usual preparation time is about 1-2 weeks. We carefully pack our panels to ensure they arrive in perfect condition.

Quality Materials and Production Process:

The sound traps designed and manufactured by Perfect Acoustic are made from high-quality materials. We do not use acoustic sponges, acoustic foam, or other low-quality lightweight materials, nor do we use ineffective egg cartons. General foam with a density of 20-30 kg/m³ cannot effectively absorb deep sounds. In our range, we offer the extra high-density 80 kg/m³ Elitexa acoustic foam, which, due to its exceptional density, is capable of absorbing deep sounds.

It is important to note that such quality and efficiency cannot be replicated at home. Our professional team assembles each product by hand, ensuring that every piece undergoes strict quality control to meet the most demanding standards. All of our products offer the best soundproofing capabilities.

Finished Products for Domestic (Hungarian) Customers:

We pack the lower part of the panels in sturdy cardboard, and the top is wrapped in dust-free vacuum film.

For International Orders:

If the customer does not request a custom size, the product will be placed in a dedicated factory box. Inside this box, we include six additional layers of packaging material around the ordered product to protect it from external influences and potential damage during transit.

THE SOUND QUALITY NEEDS TO BE IMPROVED!

Perfect Acoustic’s main goal is to create an even tonal balance. To bring the deeper frequencies on par with the treble, sound traps are essential. The panels we sell are made from dense, heavy structures and absorbent materials, with a particular focus on addressing lower frequencies. Sound traps also serve multiple purposes depending on the room size, wall type, and speaker size.

Diffuser Front Sound Traps

The diffuser front sound traps work by preventing most of the treble frequencies from passing through the panel, allowing them to absorb less treble. This results in a cleaner, more refined sound. The smaller the room, the more problematic deep bass can be. Therefore, it is advisable to use primarily diffuser or membrane corner elements in the corners. These are the best choice for acoustic treatments in offices or studios.

Sound Trap Placement:

Corner sound traps are specifically designed for use in corners, where bass frequencies tend to accumulate. Placing sound traps in these areas makes bass attenuation most effective.

Each corner element features a 45° beveled side, ensuring easy and discreet placement. The thickness and size of the panels don’t require drilling. Simply place the elements on the floor and secure them firmly. Thanks to the solid 2 cm wooden structure, you can stack up to three corner elements on top of each other without sacrificing stability.

Legs for Corner Elements:

Each corner element comes with legs at the bottom, unless a custom request is made for delivery. In that case, you will find 5 cm legs and the corresponding screws placed in the box. If you need more information regarding your order, please contact our customer service team.

The standard foot size is 5cm. But this size can be adjusted to your needs (so it can be any size). It depends on the edge of the parquet or stone in the room.

If you want to stack the panels, we recommend that there are no legs outside the bottom panel. This way, the panels can be placed on top of each other as required!

How do bass traps work?

In this section, we examine the operation of bass traps. Let’s see why it’s worth using and where it’s best placed !? The basics are simpler than you think. First, let’s start with the essential question:

Why is room treatment needed?

The room is an empty room with speakers. Due to the shape and size of the room, there will always be a dominant range. These ranges are called room highlighting. As long as the room is not ideally furnished,

• furniture
• with bass trap with absorbers
• diffusers
• until then, you will hear these high-priority frequencies.

No matter what the speaker is or how much your amp, your defiance cost, you will never hear the tone coming out of those structures. Only the sound of the room will dominate. An untreated room greatly affects what is heard, as it highlights and amplifies many frequencies and extinguishes or reduces them a lot. This will give you a completely uneven sound.

In studios, that’s the biggest reason we never get the music we want. Mixed music will sound different in every room. This is because we hear the frequencies highlighted by the room as bad and drag it down with the EQ. And the reduced frequencies are set higher because we hear them too little. So if you are taken elsewhere to listen, we will get an upset sound image. According to the returns and the reviews of the best pro audio experts, professional acoustic treatments significantly improve the acoustics of a room, such as an office. We offer many acoustic elements. According to our customers’ reviews, our sound traps are the best on the market.

Room acoustics in more detail:

Room or studio acoustics point a little further, at the level of sound pressure coming out of the speaker. I know, usually, with a microphone, everyone measures that. But take the example of a room’s dominant highlight, eg 80Hz. This frequency can usually be lured with a bass guitar. In this case, we will hear not only the direct sound coming out of the guitar but also the 80Hz echo reverberation. This reverberation can cause much stronger distortion and highlight than the sound pressure level coming directly from the guitar.

This is why the higher the absorption capacity of the room and the more diffused it will be the actual tone we will hear. According to the legal policies, the maximum permissible noise level during the day is 40 dB (6-22 hours), and at night: 30 dB.

Simply put:

You need room management to ensure accurate and even notes from the speakers to the listening position.

Now that we’ve determined why it’s important to manage room acoustics, we can move on to using sound traps.

Low frequencies always multiply along hard surfaces (walls) and corners. Let’s see how the bass trap works and where to use it most effectively.

How Do Sound Traps Work?

We receive many questions like, “How do bass traps work?” It’s not magic; it’s simply physics!

Do you remember the physics you learned? If not, here’s a brief refresher on energy conservation.

Energy, no matter where it comes from, is constant. The first law of thermodynamics states that energy cannot be created or destroyed, only transformed. For example, energy can change from solid to liquid and back, but the total energy in the system remains unchanged. This transformation has a noticeable effect on how we experience the world. For instance, when you remove heat from water, it freezes into ice. Add heat to ice, and it melts back into liquid. Add more heat, and it becomes gas. The total amount of energy stays the same, but it changes form.

THINK OF THE ACOUSTICS OF A ROOM IN THE SAME WAY.

The movement of air slows down and becomes heat due to friction. When sound energy is converted into heat, the intensity and strength of the sound waves decrease. Rub your hands together, and they get warm. The same principle applies to the movement of sound.

When you turn on the speakers, they create air movement that fills every part of the room. This is where sound traps, or bass traps, come into play. These traps are made from materials that can slow down or stop sound energy passing through them. The materials used by Perfect Acoustic are specifically designed to absorb sound energy effectively. By using high-density fibrous acoustic cotton and high-density wood, the air passing through these materials slows down and is converted into heat, significantly reducing or eliminating standing waves and reflections in the room.

If you can reduce the reverberation time below a certain threshold, the unwanted frequency peaks will be diminished, while muffled or excessively reduced sounds will be enhanced, resulting in a more balanced, linear sound.

Where Should the Corner Elements Be Placed?

Always start by placing sound traps in the corners.

Why Place the Sound Trap in the Corner?

Most bass frequencies accumulate along the walls and get trapped in the corners due to high pressure. This makes the corner the area with the highest sound pressure level, often causing peaks of 20-30 dB. Therefore, if your subwoofer or sub-box is small, placing it in the corner of a larger room is often sufficient. By placing high-density sound traps in the corner, especially stacking them, we can absorb the low frequencies that accumulate in these areas.

In the Studio – Even in a Home Studio
Audio recordings can only be perfect with proper acoustics. This is why acoustic treatment is necessary for recording studios. Always use high-quality materials for sound treatment, and avoid DIY methods! Acoustic foam is not suitable for treating deep frequencies. General foam with a density of 20-30 kg/m³ cannot absorb deep sounds. In our range, we offer the extra high-density 80 kg/m³ Elitexa acoustic foam, which is capable of absorbing deep frequencies. By placing corner sound trap elements, we can ensure optimal acoustics in the studio, home, or even office. Thanks to their aesthetic design, these elements blend seamlessly into any interior. You can find all the necessary sound traps in our shop.
