bass traps

Hello yall!

Im going the DIY route for acoustic room treatment and I want to start with bass traps.

Bass Trap - A low frequency absorber. Low frequencies are particularly difficult to absorb due to their long wavelengths. Bass traps are designed and constructed to absorb these longer Wavesand control unwanted room resonances. Broadband absorbers extending to lower frequencies are often called Bass Traps, imprecisely.

Hi Folks. Does anyone know what materials they are using to build these panels and how they are constructed? To me it looks like they are using some kind of vinyl material for the membrane. I would order from them and do my whole studio space, but I'm located in Canada and the currency exchange on top of shipping and duty fees will really kill the wallet for no good reason.

Hello guys, I used to come to this forum like 3 years ago(don't remember my other account) but the thing is I learnt a lot of important stuff and for that I thank you guys.

I read and hear a lot about 'bass traps'. Any of you knowledgeable people would like to explain what they are, what they do and if you are wanting to trap bass, what is it you are trying to prevent it from doing? Escaping or reflecting?
And I suppose I should ask, what happens to the bass when there are no traps to trap it?
