The ‘Corner Trap', by Ghost Acoustics, is a very heavy duty (and heavy weighing in at 12Kg each!) trap designed primarily to remove accentuated bass frequencies which ‘collect’ in the internal corners of rooms (though it can be mounted on both internal, and external corners). It offers the same full range frequency response characteristics as the slimmer Ghost traps above 250 Hz, but continues to be highly effective down to very low frequencies, removing around 30% of sound energy even down to 100Hz!!
‘Corner Traps’ should first be mounted at speaker/head level in the corners on the front wall, immediately behind the main room monitors. Then, depending on room size, and the degree of Bass problem, more can be added by stacking units vertically, and by adding them to the rear corners of the room. In most cases (unless ceilings are high) one ‘Corner Trap’ in each of the 4 main corners of your room at ‘listening height’ should suffice to effectively control additional bass frequency build up.
The ‘Corner Trap’ is constructed using high density (100Kg per cubic metre) Glass Fibre and layers of Aluminium foil, and finished in a steel frame with fire retardant polyester fabric.
The Corner Bass Trap also uses Ghost’s proprietary ‘Easy Mount’ system for wall fixing. Each ‘Corner Trap’ ships with a lightweight metal frame which screws into the wall. Traps can then be easily hung and removed (after initial installation), in just seconds. For most applications we advise you leave ‘Corner Traps’ in position as these are dealing with a specific problem area, controlling excessive bass frequency as well as offering full frequency response absorption. However, if you need to move room, or house (!) they are just as quick and easy to remove as the rest of the Ghost products. The mounting frame for the ‘Corner Trap’ also has a specially designed hinge mechanism which allows the product to be fitted into, or onto any shape of corner… so in older buildings where uneven walls mean corners are often not an exact 90 degree angle, fitting is still exceptionally quick and easy!
