You’ll Want To Get Caught In This Acoustic Bare Trap!
Once again, the most neglected area of most studios is the room itself – acoustic treatment.
There are a lot of DIY ways to go about this and there are ways to spend a lot of money, sometimes effectively … sometimes quite wastefully (speaking from painful experience here).
My favorite treatment option is Ethan Winer’s RealTraps. They’re a little spendier than some, much less than others, but worth every penny. He’s released a new line for the budget conscious studio owner called “Bare Traps.”
Here’s how Ethan explains them:
At only $100 each, these are the most affordable bass traps we’ve ever offered.
BareTraps are similar to our popular MiniTraps. Each unit is 2 by 4 feet by 3-1/4 inches thick and weighs 18 pounds [Metric: 61 x 122 x 8 cm, 8 kg]. There are a few small cosmetic differences that let us sell these “bare necessities” for half the price.RealTraps BareTrap in Wheat
Like MiniTraps, BareTraps are real membrane bass traps having the same high absorption at low frequencies that RealTraps is famous for. BareTraps are available in both Standard and High Frequency styles, for corner bass trapping and reflection control respectively. Color choices are black, white, and wheat (off-white).
All of us at RealTraps worked very hard to develop a new bass trap that will appeal to people on a tight budget, while keeping all of the quality RealTraps is known for.
So what did we leave out of this “bare bones” trap? Not much! BareTraps have the same solid metal frame as MiniTraps, but without the fancy side slots. They have four holes in the rear for attaching hanging wires, but no cross bars for mounting on our RealTraps Stands, microphone stands, or with Post Base Kits. Note that BareTraps are sold in pairs only, to reduce the cost of shipping and packaging.
In this “bare market” economy, everyone wants a bargain! But the performance of BareTraps is first-rate, as you’d expect from RealTraps. And that’s what matters most for folks on a budget. You also get the same expert advice that’s made RealTraps so highly praised by dozens of famous recording engineers.
