The Truth About 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.

Music is also integral to optimization in most brain functions. Studies prove that the hearing sense of a child develop as early as the fetal stage. In fact, it is one of the earliest senses to develop. This is why most pregnant women are encouraged to listen to music while carrying their child in their womb. Soothing melody, especially classical pieces, can always do wonders for the brain. Most gifted and talented children are said to have been exposed to music at the earliest stage of life, allowing the brain to open up and absorb more.

There are many parents who are gifted with musically gifted children. While some of these parents can be quite supportive of their talented offspring, there are still some who think that a musical ability is inferior to intellectual capacity. Often, they make their children give up their love for music because it eats up the time that one can spend for studying. This should not be the case. It actually helps in the improvisation of mathematical skills. The steady beat that the bass provides will stimulate the part of the brain that control problem solving 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.

Whether the song to be played is relatively loud, like from the genres of rock and hard metal, or soft and slow, like acoustics, it serves two very important functions. First off, the base provides the pulse of the song. Just like the heart pulses non stop to give life to every creature, it also gives life to any piece. Without it, the music will sound flat and void of life.

The bass also provides the harmonic foundation of every song that is ever played. Harmony is achieved when, even at a certain point where several notes are played at once, you still get to hear it as a single melody. The bass is the point of reference used by the ears so be able to distinguish sounds. How the it is used makes all the difference. You can use the same melody, but if you vary the bass, you will be able to come up with individual moods.

There exist nowadays some musical devices that have the ability to trap elements in music. With the use of these so called bass traps, the way most perceive audio frequencies takes on a whole new level. They have the capacity to reduce LF resonance which is why they are used mostly in recording studios and home entertainment systems.

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.

It is primarily for this reason that the porous absorbers are the ones marketed to the public today. They are smaller in size and they do not need to be specifically tuned to match the job. They are also quite easy to build. In fact, more and more people make their own bass traps rather than buy them. It allows them to save more money without compromising anything.
