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!

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.
