ASC TowerTrap

The TowerTrap is a corner-loaded bass trap that was designed to resemble an architectural element rather than a typical cylindrical TubeTrap. It was developed specifically to address those customers looking for high-performance audio with a designer look that is so subtle, it nearly disappears.

Description

What’s so great about ASC’s TowerTrap? TowerTraps make a perfect addition to any home theater or listening room by opening up the bass performance to the full capacity of the sound system. One tower in each corner of the room produces bass mode control down through 40 Hz (30Hz for SuperTowers) and treble range diffusion which backscatters at 400 Hz and above. This high-efficiency corner bass trap delivers the same high-power acoustic punch as provided by all ASC TubeTrap products.

Originally called the Cube Tower, the TowerTrap is a “smaller, more cosmetically acceptable, more affordable version of the classic TubeTrap,” writes BJR. “Very effective at taming mid- and upper-bass room anomalies. Looks like an attractive Vandersteen speaker sitting there in the corner.”

The tri-corner of a room transforms and compresses all of the acoustic energy in a sound wave into pure pressure fluctuations. TowerTraps are designed to take full advantage of the acoustic pressure zones created in the corners of a room. The design of the TowerTrap converts these pressure changes into air movement, and, through the regulated friction in the walls of the TowerTrap, energy is damped out of the sound wave.
