Low frequency sound waves are so long - and thus so strong - they are the toughest to control. This is true no matter whether you're attempting to block their transmission to a neighboring space or trying to absorb them to clean up the low frequency response within a room. Controlling low frequency sound is harder than controlling mid or high frequency sound and generally requires more effort and expense. Luckily, the Auralex line of acoustic bass traps can help!

The Venus Bass Trap achieves a prodigious level of low frequency sound control at your room boundaries, where low frequency problems begin, at a price that allows it to fit into most budgets. Venus Bass Traps ship in a 2'x4'x12" size, but is often cut in half to 2'x2', then paired with a 12" Auralex CornerFill, as shown in the diagram below.

While the Venus Bass Trap can provide serious low frequency sound control and broad bandwidth absorption that's literally second to none in all rooms, it really shines in larger rooms like gymnasiums, houses of worship and multipurpose rooms.
