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 also integral to optimization in most brain functions. Studies prove that the hearing sense of a child develop as early as the fetal stage. In fact, it is one of the earliest senses to develop. This is why most pregnant women are encouraged to listen to music while carrying their child in their womb. Soothing melody, especially classical pieces, can always do wonders for the brain. Most gifted and talented children are said to have been exposed to music at the earliest stage of life, allowing the brain to open up and absorb more.

When children reach the school age years, most parents would love for them to focus on their studies. The common rule is academics first, other interests later. This is the primary reason why some cut down music from the daily schedule of their kids. Music even actually improves mathematical skills. Beats generally given off by bass stimulates the part of the mind that controls patterns, proportion and other mathematical relation 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.

The bass also provides the harmonic foundation of every song that is ever played. Harmony is achieved when, even at a certain point where several notes are played at once, you still get to hear it as a single melody. The bass is the point of reference used by the ears so be able to distinguish sounds. How the it is used makes all the difference. You can use the same melody, but if you vary the bass, you will be able to come up with individual moods.

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.

These traps come in two variations. There is the resonating absorbers that are used for narrower band action. They have the ability to absorb only a lower range of audio frequency.

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.
