MaxTrap – Broadband Bass Trap

• High performance corner mounted bass trap
• Suspended diaphragm absorbs bass down to 50Hz
• High density front absorber controls highs & mids
• Ideal for small rooms where modes cause problems

The Primacoustic MaxTrap is a highly effective bass trap that combines a diaphragmatic resonator with a full-size acoustic panel in a sealed enclosure to provide 3-way absorption throughout the full frequency spectrum.

This unique design begins with a 3" thick front-mounted 24" x 48" Broadway panel made from 6lb per cubic foot high-density glass wool fiber. This effectively absorbs frequencies down to 100Hz. Behind the panel, a closed air space takes full advantage of quarter-wavelength principles to further reinforce low frequency absorption in this critical bass region.

But where the MaxTrap truly shines is in its capacity to absorb deep, low bass. The MaxTrap's remarkable low frequency extension is achieved by way of a suspended diaphragm that stretches the full size of the device, capturing bass by vibrating where the low frequencies are most prominent. As room modes combine, they either reinforce certain frequencies or cancel them out. The MaxTrap's limp-mass structure naturally migrates to the most powerful frequencies where it quietly resonates to remove excess bass and subsequent modal frequencies.

Available in black, beige or grey, MaxTraps ships flat and assemble in minutes using standard household tools. Optimum placement is in corners where walls intersect and sound naturally gathers. For rooms where windows and doors are in the way, the wall-mounted Primacoustic FullTrap presents an excellent alternative. When combined with Primacoustic Broadway panels and diffusers, one can turn virtually any room into a well balanced acoustic space.

The Primacoustic MaxTrap, quite simply the best bass trap made today.

Applications

Sometimes, placing a MaxTrap in a corner is impossible due to doors or windows. The FullTrap presents the perfect alternative with a wall-mount version. Same great performance, different footprint.

This image shows two MaxTraps stacked, one on top of each other. This is a popular approach in mid sized rooms where deeper bass frequencies need to be controlled.
