Tri Traps

[mike711711]

Has any one tried the tri traps from GIK? I`m looking to buy some bass traps for my boomy room 14 by 12 with 8 foot ceilings. These would fit perfectly stacked in a corner floor to ceiling. Any body got a review for me?

Yup, I have. I faxed a copy of my living room layout to GIK and then discussed with Glen what some options might be. I ordered 4 tri traps. They made a night and day difference in my living room. Boominess is gone, placement options for the sub are now greater and the bass is much tighter. It turns out I needed only two of the tri traps to accomplish this, though I doubt you could given your room dimensions (mine is irregular). No problem from GIK with sending the other two back. I am very pleased with the results and recommend them highly.

I believe the room's the most important component need to be tweak.

what are the tri-traps outer surface made of? cloth or something hard?

I couldn't believe the difference , I am really pleased with the results , also both Glen & Brian where very helpful answering a lot of the questions I had regarding sound treatment.

you'll be pleased dealing with them.

Cloth on the part that you see, something hard on the parts you don't see. They work wonderfully for me, highly recommend. The removed all the boominess, which is why I bought them. Subjectively, *all* the lower frequencies seem tighter, though that part could be the placebo effect.

Mike I also incorporated GIK's Tri-Traps into our room and could tell a noticeable difference immediately, I did have to *very carefully* modify one pair in order to stack 'em on top of each other to fill the corners of the room from top to bottom *BUT* before I'd recommend any modifications by yourself I'd contact Glenn or Brian.

By far our most noticeable improvement regarding our room acoustics was the addition of the Tri-Traps ... Thanks Glenn!

I was asking because I've always thought low bass could easily pass thin sheets of wood/wall board ... wouldn't the tri-trap have been more effective on the low bass if it was made of solid outer covering instead of the "broad band" cloth cover?

I am sure there could be a way to make the Tri Trap as a "tuned" trap, but most small rooms have so many problems throughout the bass frequency range that it really would not be a good solution for most rooms. Broad band is really the way to go.

The Tri Traps are made to work in a 90 degree corner, so only one side is exposed to the room, what the other sides are made of does not matter.
