The Truth About Corner Bass Traps

By Ina Hunt


Music is an integral part of daily living. It has been a part of human existence since the early days. It has provided for a source of entertainment even way back then. Ancient festivals are never complete back then without accompaniment, as it remains to be so until today.

Music is not only important for cultural activities and entertainment. It can even help in the development of the brain in an individual. As early as a fetus inside the womb of the mother, sound is already distinguishable to the ears of the child. Studies show that listening to classical or any slow soothing pieces over corner bass traps can do wonders for brain development.

Parents of children bestowed with musical prowess often get worried when their kids reach that certain age when they are allowed to go to school. They are afraid that music might just interfere with the academic performance of the child, as they spend a lot of time playing their chosen musical instrument instead of taking the time out to study. This fear is commonly unfounded, as music has certain elements that stimulate the brain. Even the steady pulses of an upbeat song helps in the development of mathematical and problem solving skills.

Most people fail to realize the essential part that it plays in every composition. They think that it is used only in very loud sounds such as the rock and metal genre. The truth is, even the slowest songs follow that steady beat only the bass can provide.

It serves two very important functions. For starters, it provides rhythmic foundation for a composition. Every song needs to have that certain pulse to follow so that the notes all converge well to make a beautiful melody.

Harmonic foundation is something that only the bass can provide. Harmony is achieved when several notes are played simultaneously, but even so, they blend together quite well. The ear, when made to listen to many notes at a time, hear it in relation to the lowest sounding pitch which is the bass.

Due to this importance in the industry and the way we perceive audio, traps are all the raves nowadays, especially to sound trip enthusiasts. These traps are acoustic energy absorbers. They provide better listening environment in recording studios, home theaters and mastering rooms by reducing LF resonance.

In general, there are two types of traps, the resonating absorbers and the porous absorbers. The resonating ones tend to narrow band action. They also only absorb a small range of audio frequencies. To be quite truthful about it, resonating types are in no means better than the other type.

The second type is called the porous absorber. It is the one used mostly by the public. They are small and lightweight as well. Yet, despite their size, they can suck in a broadband of audio frequencies. What is more, they are quite simple to make that is why others make their own than buy one in the market.
