GoboTraps offer a simple and elegant way to isolate a performer or instrument amplifier. When fitted with standard MiniTraps they can be used to create a large portable absorber to easily change the liveness of larger spaces.

The GoboTrap system consists of a GoboTrap Carriage with wheels that accommodates either GoboTraps or standard MiniTraps. The traps are stacked sideways on the carriage to create a gobo that's four feet wide, and two or three traps can be attached for a total height of either four or six feet. [Metric: 122 cm wide by 122 or 183 cm high] The GoboTrap carriage hovers very low to the floor to minimize sound leakage, and the wheels are large enough to roll easily on thick carpet or over wires.

The choice of GoboTraps or standard MiniTraps depends on the application. To create an acoustically dead sounding area or an enclosed booth within a larger space, or for use as a large portable absorber to change the liveness of a room, you'll use standard MiniTraps. For maximum isolation, perhaps to surround a drum set or loud guitar amplifier, you'll instead use GoboTraps.

GoboTraps are available in a variety of configurations to suit your application. For simplicity, they are sold a la carte: Each GoboTrap unit includes a GoboTrap Carriage, two or three GoboTraps or MiniTraps, and an optional clear 3/16 inch thick Plexiglass top section as shown below.

For most applications we recommend the HF style GoboTrap, which is absorbent on both sides and has a barrier in the middle for increased isolation. However, we can also build them with the reflective barrier on either side, or no barrier at all (standard MiniTrap) if you prefer. Even with no barrier they provide plenty of isolation, and they're more effective as bass traps or reflection panels in the control room when mixing.

Available GoboTrap and MiniTrap colors are White, Wheat, Gray, and Black. The GoboTrap Carriage is available in Black only.
