What You Need To Know 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.

Those who are not really that immersed in the world of music fail to understand the integral role of the bass in any musical genre. Sometimes they can be very pronounced as with the case of most upbeat songs and rock genre. Often they are easy to miss and are barely distinguishable, as with the case of most slow songs.

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.

Basically, there are two types that the people from the said industry use. The first type is called resonator types. They can absorb sound frequencies, only admittedly at a very low range.

It is primarily for this reason that the porous absorbers are the ones marketed to the public today. They are smaller in size and they do not need to be specifically tuned to match the job. They are also quite easy to build. In fact, more and more people make their own bass traps rather than buy them. It allows them to save more money without compromising anything.
