AVAA Active Bass Traps


Hi there, 

Anyone here using the PSI AVAA active bass traps? I am thinking of getting one. Would I be better off with passive traps. My main room mode is at about 62Hz

Please advise

jag, the wavelength of 62 Hz is 18 feet. The only way you are going to stop that is by knocking down your rear wall. There are two ways you can work around this. The first is multiple subwoofers at least two preferably 4. Next is digital room control such as offered with Anthem, Trinnov and Lyngdorf processors. All three companies have digital bass management built in which allows you to use both solutions very effectively. All this other stuff is equivalent to pissing on a forest fire not to mention cluttering up your room. 
Houses are tiny here
My living room is 9ft high x  10ft wide ( sofa side) x 8 length. 
I use an integrated amp. 

I am trapped. 
So, only way i see is to have a bass trap that works from 45 to 70hz, which I could place behind the speakers.  Ir, the AVAA ( which costs a heart stopping   $SG3,800 (singapore dollar)



Try the GIK Accoustic traps. I like the Soffit Traps a great deal, but most go with the corner traps.

Best,

Of course, in case you are new here, I usually recommend a combination of bass traps and EQ.

If you are using a sub, pub the EQ on the subwoofer only.

Right. But guys looking to tech for solutions are never likely to do the right thing. Just look at all the posts above. Everyone here knows the answer, but nobody even thinking to ask the guy how many subs or what he's doing now. Just knee-jerk yeah spend money! GIK! DSP! Bass trap! 

That last one at least, I imagine the Star Wars dude, "Its a trap!"    

OP could buy a Swarm and have SOTA bass for less than he wants to spend to make what he has a little less bad. But will anyone even bother to mention that? Besides you and me I mean?
