Low-frequency sound is one of the most challenging acoustic issues in any space. Whether you’re dealing with a boomy home theater, muddy studio recordings, or uneven sound in an office or commercial environment, uncontrolled bass can quickly ruin the listening experience. This is exactly why corner bass traps are an essential part of effective acoustic treatment.
At SoundHaven Acoustics, our professional-grade bass traps are engineered to absorb low-frequency energy where it builds up the most—room corners. With high-performance materials, clean design, and easy installation, our corner bass traps help you truly hear the difference.
What Are Corner Bass Traps?
Corner bass traps are specialized acoustic panels designed to absorb low-frequency sound waves (bass). Unlike standard acoustic wall panels that primarily address mid and high frequencies, bass traps target deep, powerful sound waves that cause resonance, boominess, and uneven sound distribution.
Bass frequencies naturally accumulate where walls meet—especially in corners. By installing bass traps in corners, you intercept this energy before it reflects back into the room, resulting in tighter, cleaner, and more balanced sound.
Why Bass Traps Are Installed in Corners
Bass Pressure Is Highest in Corners
Low-frequency sound behaves differently than higher frequencies. As sound waves reflect off walls, they stack up where multiple surfaces intersect. This makes corners the most effective placement for bass absorbers.
Maximum Efficiency with Fewer Panels
A corner bass trap absorbs sound from multiple directions at once. This means fewer panels can achieve better results compared to flat wall placement.
Improved Overall Acoustic Balance
When bass is controlled, the entire frequency spectrum improves. Vocals become clearer, instruments sound more defined, and listening fatigue is reduced.

Benefits of Using Bass Traps
1. Reduced Boominess
Bass traps absorb excess low-frequency energy, eliminating the overpowering bass that often dominates untreated rooms.
2. Clearer Sound
When bass is controlled, mids and highs are no longer masked. This improves speech clarity, music detail, and overall sound balance.
3. Better Listening Experience
Whether you’re mixing audio, watching movies, or holding meetings, bass absorbers create a more comfortable and professional sound environment.
4. Versatile Applications
Our corner bass traps are ideal for:
- Home theaters
- Recording and podcast studios
- Listening rooms
- Offices and conference rooms
- Churches and performance venues
Bass Traps vs Standard Acoustic Wall Panels
Many people assume standard panels will fix bass problems. While acoustic wall panels are excellent for echo control, they are not designed to handle deep bass.
| Feature | Acoustic Wall Panels | Corner Bass Traps |
| Echo reduction | ✅ Yes | ✅ Yes |
| Bass control | ❌ Limited | ✅ Excellent |
| Thickness | 2–3 inches | 4 inches |
| Placement | Flat walls | Corners |
For best results, corner bass traps should be used alongside standard acoustic wall panels, not as a replacement.
How Many Bass Traps Do You Need?
The number of bass traps depends on room size, layout, and usage. A general recommendation is:
- Start with four vertical corners
- Add additional traps for larger rooms or high-volume environments
- Consider ceiling corners for advanced control
SoundHaven Acoustics can help guide placement to achieve the best results for your space.
Do Bass Traps Help with Soundproofing?
Bass traps improve perceived sound isolation by reducing low-frequency resonance, but they do not fully soundproof a room. True soundproofing requires structural changes.
However, combining corner bass traps, acoustic wall panels, and ceiling panels significantly improves sound control and comfort.
