Take a couple of products and make your corner into a super trap!
One of the most pervasive problems in recording and listening environments is the problem of bass build up in the corners. If you want to get the most out of your room, try making your corner into a DIY super trap!
Stuff you’ll need:
- 2’x4’x4” (or 2”)Back-Beveled Sonora® Wall Panel (beveled on the rear to fit corners or a standard panel with angle brackets)
- 48” Bermuda Triangle Trap® or 2 PhaseFOAM™ Bass traps (or a 1’x4’x1” raw fiberglass panel hung across the corner.)
- Foam Adhesive
- Sonora® Mounting brackets
Simple installation instructions:
- Use the adhesive to attach the Foam Bass trap to the wall
- Use the brackets to attach the Sonora® Panel across the corner over the trap
Super simple. Super effective.
As simple as it seems, this method of installing these products is an ideal way to get extra trapping in your corners. This solution changes the corner density multiple times as the sound waves pass through it –as well as introduces a layer of air space. This installation method takes the strengths of the two products and has them working together to eliminate that build-up of energy in the corners – it literally sucks it up like a sponge!
This simple DIY project is provided as a way for our customers to learn better ways to use our products and get more value out of the products they buy. If you are looking for more ways to use the products you have, look to Acoustics First for Ideas. http://www.acousticsfirst.com

Posted by Acoustics First in Anechoic Chambers, Broadcast Facilities, Industrial Facilities, Music Rehearsal Spaces, Music Tracking Room, Press Release, Products, Recording Facilities, Recording Studio, Studio Control Room, Vocal Booth, Voice Over on August 16, 2012
Acoustics First’s Cutting Wedge acoustical foam is featured on the cover of the 2012 Loudspeaker Industry Sourcebook. Acoustical foam can be used in any application that requires sound absorption. This material is used to prevent destructive specular reflections from distorting or color sound. It eliminates room modes and standing waves. Cutting Wedge foam provides more absorption than flat foam by increasing the exposed surface area with its “blade” pattern.
Available in 2″, 3″ and 4″ thick material, this premium acoustical foam can be used to line the cavities of speaker boxes, remove reflections in recording & broadcast studios, quiet machinery and much more. 1’x1′ or 2’x4′ sheets allow the application to be designed however you with to provide optimal coverage for your application.

Blocking Piano Sound from an Adjoining Classroom
QUESTION:
We have a piano class next to a classroom and the sound loves to leak through our thin walls. We need a type of sound proofing wall the teacher can still staple pictures and information to and block out all sound going through her wall bugging the other class. The wall is about 24′ x 12′. What can you suggest?
ANSWER:
Installing a layer of the BlockAid Sound Barrier on top of the existing shared wall will block the transmission of sound through the wall. Be sure to examine to overall construction of the room. If a suspended ceiling grid is in use, sound could possibly flank over the wall if it does not go all the way to the roof deck. Blocking sound requires that massive and dense structures be in place to interrupt the path of the sound or noise. Be sure to seal any seams or gaps as well as any wall switches or boxes. If air can pass through an area of the wall, so can sound.

Once the barrier is installed, a finish material will need to be installed over this. We would recommend 1/2″ wall board or something simple like the Sound Channels Acoustical Wall fabric. Sound Channels in installed in a similar manner to wall carpet and is Velcro compatible. It also is a Class A material that passes vertical and corner burn tests.
We can also custom manufacture 2″ thick Sonora Acoustical Wall Panels with a barrier septum in the middle and a Tackable Face. This will combine sound absorption along with the sound barrier and add a fabric finish, all in one step. We would recommend doing this in two sections of 4′(w) x 6′(h) panels.
As always, be sure to discuss your project with an acoustical consultant or experienced professional to determine which materials best suit your application, site constraints and budget.
