Definition & Bedeutung von "bass trap"

What is a "bass trap"?

A bass trap is an acoustic treatment device used to manage low-frequency sound waves, or bass frequencies, in a room. It helps to reduce unwanted bass buildup and resonances that can cause muddiness or uneven sound quality. Bass traps are typically placed in the corners of a room or other strategic locations where low frequencies tend to accumulate. They are designed to absorb or diffuse these frequencies, improving the overall acoustic balance and clarity of the sound.
