Bass Traps

As acoustic tiles are primarily designed to target high to mid frequencies and sound waves which are traveling at slower speeds and with less power the thicker the tile the better they deal with longer sound waves and lower frequencies however tiles on their own will only help with high to mid frequencies. The result of this is that you will need more than just tiles to combat lower frequencies often refered to as bass trapping.

The lower the frequency the longer the wavelength. Lower frequencies are also much more powerfull and harder to deal with. Much thicker pieces of acoustic foam are needed particularly in the corners of a room which are most prone to low end frequency build up. If you are going to treat your room with acoustic foam the use of corner acoustic foam bass traps are essential whether your room is to be used for practicing mixing or recording. The volume levels within a room can be up to 6dB louder in corners than in the rest of the room. Making bass traps an essential component in some rooms.

Simply by installing some corner acoustic foam bass traps in a room you will reduce low frequency build up and make controlling your sound much easier tightening up the sound and giving you the control over what you hear, the end results being that you can make a room which sounded terrible into a room which sounds unbelievably better.
