RealTraps has announced three new acoustic panels that will appeal to anyone who considers appearance as important as acoustic performance.
Besides the new
panels, RealTraps also announced that it is now including mounting
hardware with all of its acoustic products. The new models are as
follows:
The new Corner MondoTrap is similar to a standard MondoTrap at four
inches deep but with beveled sides to nest attractively in a corner
and appear only one inch deep. All other dimensions and properties are
the same as a standard MondoTrap, the most capable bass trap available
at any price. Price is $349.99.
The RealTraps Tri-Corner is a triangle shaped bass trap, also four
inches thick, that fits perfectly in tri-corners where two walls meet
the ceiling or floor. Like the Corner MondoTrap, the new Tri-Corner
appears only one inch thick when installed, to intrude visually as
little as possible while still retaining very high performance. At 32
inches on each side, it has a surface area large enough to tame even
very low bass frequencies. Price is $249.99.
The new RFZ panel is meant specifically for first reflections, but at
32 by 42 inches by 2 inches thick, its size and shape are more
appropriate than typical 2 by 4 foot panels. The larger size creates a
deeper Reflection Free Zone, whether the panel is mounted to be taller
or wider. The front surface is also beveled to look more like a
picture frame than an acoustic panel. Price is $249.99.
All three new products are available in various colors, and they can
be seen in the new Room Setup video on the company's web site:

According to RealTraps co-owner Ethan Winer, "The appearance of
acoustic treatment has always been an obstacle to their acceptance in
home settings and even some high-end recording studios. These new
panels are very attractive, yet still offer the extremely high
performance RealTraps has become famous for. Previously, people had to
choose between acoustic treatment that looks good or works well. Now
everyone can have both."
RealTraps is owned by Ethan Winer and Doug Ferrara. Ethan is known
throughout the industry for his many technical articles in audio and
computer magazines, and he has engineered and produced several
classical music CDs, including a recording of his own cello concerto.
Doug is a professional musician and recording engineer who holds an
advanced degree from Rensselaer Polytechnic and has been a systems
engineer for Intel and Motorola.
