Importance Of 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.

It is also beneficial for optimum brain development. The hearing capabilities of human beings function as early as the fetal stage. It is believed that a child can hear and distinguish sounds from the environment even when still inside the safe confines of the womb of the mother. The effect of classical music to brain development makes a pregnant woman want to listen to classical pieces even at the early stages of pregnancy.

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 is essential as it plays two very important functions. This aspect of music provides the rhythmic foundation in any song or piece. The rhythmic foundation refers to that consistent pulse of the music. The bass player provides the entire group with a steady pulse that is the mark of a really good composition.

Harmonic foundation is something that only the bass can provide. Harmony is achieved when several notes are played simultaneously, but even so, they blend together quite well. The ear, when made to listen to many notes at a time, hear it in relation to the lowest sounding pitch which is the bass.

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.

In general, there are two types of traps, the resonating absorbers and the porous absorbers. The resonating ones tend to narrow band action. They also only absorb a small range of audio frequencies. To be quite truthful about it, resonating types are in no means better than the other type.

The second type is called the porous absorber. It is the one used mostly by the public. They are small and lightweight as well. Yet, despite their size, they can suck in a broadband of audio frequencies. What is more, they are quite simple to make that is why others make their own than buy one in the market.
