Following on the success of their wood panel bass traps,
RealTraps has introduced a new membrane trap that also absorbs midrange and high
frequencies. Besides exceptional performance—nearly three times that of foam
corners at 100 Hz.—MiniTraps
are small and easy to handle. And with an introductory price of $159.99 they’ll
appeal to the most modest of budgets. Since MiniTraps are made with rigid
fiberglass and metal instead of foam, they are fire resistant and can be
installed with confidence in public venues.
According to RealTraps co-owner Ethan Winer, “The main problem in most studios
and listening rooms is standing waves that cause severe variations in the low
frequency response. Many engineers and audiophiles cover their walls with foam,
which just makes the room too dead at mid and high frequencies, while doing
nothing for the low end. MiniTraps are much more absorbent than foam at low
frequencies, so they do a superior job overall and with fewer pieces. Their
light weight and small size also makes them ideal for larger installations like
churches and auditoriums. Best of all, they install easily with one nail or
hook—just like a picture—without glue or wall damage.”
RealTraps is owned by Ethan Winer and Doug Ferrara. Ethan is known throughout
the industry for his many technical articles in audio and computer magazines,
and he has engineered and produced several classical music CDs including a
recording of his own cello concerto. Ethan also moderates the Acoustics forum at
Recording.org. Doug is a professional musician and has owned a recording studio
for more than twenty years. Besides audio and recording, Doug holds an advanced
degree in engineering from Rensselaer Polytechnic, and has been a systems
engineer for Intel and Motorola.
