RealTraps has announced a new high-performance line of acoustic treatment products that are modular and require no permanent mounting. All of the modules are six inches thick and can be stacked free-standing up to a height of eight feet. A special soft non-slip material is provided to hold the traps securely, and protect them from scratching.
Although this system is intended for high-end mixing and mastering engineers working in smaller spaces, it is also ideal for regular 2-channel hi-fi listening and even home theaters.
Three module types are offered, each resting on a 2'x'2x6" MondoTrap base :
• The corner bass trap modules use a 2'x4'x6" MondoTrap.
• The reflection absorber modules use a 2'x4'x6" HF style MondoTrap.
• The wall modules use the RealTraps Diffusor that is also a bass trap.
• 2'x4'x6" MondoTraps rest above each module to treat the wall-ceiling corners.
Although the pieces are used as a modular system, they are sold individually and priced as shown on the RealTraps Prices page ranging from $199.99 to 599.99 each with quantity discounts applied for ten or more pieces of any type.
