New RealTraps Room Treatment Products

April 8, 2003

 

 

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.
