"The MondoTraps have
been EXTREMELY EFFECTIVE! They helped reduce the amplitudes of the
nodes and antinodes, resulting in an overall fuller, stronger, more
accurate bass. Trapping not only improves notes that may have stood out
or been weak, it also has other benefits. A critical dip at 55 Hz was
reduced, and this has amazingly improved the overall tonality of the
entire system." --Bob Katz
"Everyone agrees
that the RealTraps have made a major improvement ... For a hypothetical
investment of $2000, they so improved the room's acoustics that every
recording and piece of electronics sounded better. I doubt if a similar
investment in any other component could yield as much satisfaction." --Kal
Rubinson, Stereophile magazine
"Our control room at
Le Crib Studios needed serious help. After installing MiniTraps the
room sounds better than we believed possible, with clear, round bottom
and vastly improved imaging. Fantastic product, great company." --Nile
Rodgers & Richard Hilton
"With the MondoTraps
in position, the change in the overall system sound was dramatic.
Finally I could usefully adjust the positioning and output level of my
subwoofer, and the bass response remained much more uniform as I moved
around. Crucially, though, the ferocious 80 Hz dip in the frequency
response was dramatically reduced, much to my delight." --Mike
Senior, Sound on Sound magazine

ACOUSTIC TREATMENT FROM REALTRAPS
You'd never accept a microphone preamp
whose response varies by 30 dB, but without RealTraps that's exactly
what your control room is doing to every mix you play!
Every professional audio engineer
understands the importance of acoustic treatment. Modern loudspeakers
can be remarkably flat, but as soon as you put them in a room
everything changes!
Low frequency response variations of 35 dB
are common, especially in smaller rooms. Worse, the sound is not
consistent around the room - music is thin here, too bassy over there -
and nowhere is the sound even close to being uniform.
For recording engineers, mixes that seem
fine in your control room sound boomy or thin when played elsewhere.
And when you can't hear bass instruments clearly it's impossible to
create mixes that sound good everywhere.
To solve the acoustic problems common to
all rooms, RealTraps has
developed a line of very high-performance acoustic treatment. Once a
room has been properly treated the clarity and articulation of music,
and especially bass instruments, improves enormously.
Whether you're a professional recording
engineer, serious audiophile, or home theater owner who wants the best
sound possible, the most cost-effective upgrade you can possibly get is
acoustic treatment from RealTraps.
RealTraps
partners Ethan Winer and Doug Ferrara have been professional audio
engineers for more than 30 years, and they are at the leading edge of
listening room research and development. Ethan is well known for scores
of magazine articles he has written about audio and acoustics, music,
and computer programming.
When you buy from RealTraps you are assured of
getting the very best advice available anywhere. In the short time
since RealTraps was
founded in 2002, we have become the premier source for
affordable yet highly effective acoustic treatment. Our clients include
some of the most famous recording and mastering engineers in the world,
as you can read at left.
