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

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.
There are two ways you can work around this. The first is multiple subwoofers at least two preferably 4.

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?

I got to hear the PSI that was in a demo room at the NY audio show a few months back. Like an idiot I forgot to ask them to turn the unit off to hear the difference, (I realized after I had left). The bass did sound good in that room, and I was definitely intrigued.

I do know that the room next door kept banging on the adjoining hotel door to get them to lower the volume. When I went to the room next door I explained it wasn’t that loud in the room they were complaining about, even though the bass leak through was large.

I think that when canceling a wave in one location, another location will get even more bass, so perhaps that might be a consideration if family members or neighbors are an issue.

I do feel the unit works as described and I’d love to play around with one, although I don’t have bass problems (other than disturbing neighbors)

Can you convince the dealer or manufacturer to let you demo one, even if you were responsible for shipping charges?  This tech has much potential and  needs more exposure, and let them know you’ll measure and post here if they work with you.
