RealTraps are real membrane bass traps that also absorb mid and high frequencies. This makes them a total solution for recording studios, listening rooms, home theaters, restaurants, auditoriums - anywhere economical yet very high performance acoustic treatment is required. Each product is described briefly on this page below, with links to more detailed explanations and photos. These Quick Links go directly to the products on this page below:
All of our products are relatively small and lightweight, so they're easy to handle and can be shipped economically. They mount easily with picture wire or on stands without glue or permanent wall damage. They can be mounted vertically or horizontally as space permits, or high up on a wall or ceiling to be out of the way. And since most RealTraps products are made with rigid fiberglass and metal, they're non-flammable and can be installed with confidence in public venues. All products meant to be attached to a wall or ceiling (except BareTraps) include mounting hardware as shown on the various Installation Guides. MiniTraps, MondoTraps and Diffusors come with 10 feet of picture wire, 2 Molly bolts, 2 D-rings, and 2 wood screws. The Molly bolts are meant for standard sheet rock up to 7/8 inch thick, or you can use the wood screws if you have access to a stud behind the wall. For 2 by 2 foot MiniTraps and Tri-Corner traps we instead provide a pair of springs and a cable tie. RFZ Panels come with a pair of J clips and Molly bolts for mounting flat on a wall. We also offer two types of rigid mounting brackets as an extra-cost option as described in the Mounting Accessories section below. Do you have a friend who also needs our products?

AVAILABLE
COLORS AND STYLES All RealTraps are available in white, wheat, gray, and black as shown at left. Exact colors may vary slightly. Most panels are available in two styles - for bass trapping (Standard), or for reflection control (High Frequency type). Standard traps are intentionally semi-reflective at mid and higher frequencies, and the HF types trade slightly less bass trapping for maximum absorption above 200 Hz. Top |
|
MINITRAPS MiniTraps are our most popular product because they offer great value. Despite their relatively small size these are real performers having exceptional absorption at low frequencies. MiniTraps perform far better than anything else in their price range, and better than products that cost a lot more too! Available in 2x4 and 2x2 foot sizes. |
|
MONDOTRAPS AND CORNER MONDOTRAPS MondoTraps and Corner MondoTraps offer more low frequency absorption than any other bass trap of its size. (Only MegaTraps are better.) As you can see on the Product Data page, MondoTraps absorb twice as much as MiniTraps below 100 Hz, and proportionally more above 100 Hz too. When very high performance at low frequencies matters more than anything else, MondoTraps are the obvious choice. Four models are available including two that are slightly shorter and thicker to compensate. Learn more about MondoTraps. Top |
|
MICROTRAPS MicroTraps are similar to MiniTraps except thinner, and their absorption does not extend to as low a frequency. MicroTraps are ideal for placing at the first reflections points in a listening room, or wherever general mid and high frequency absorption is needed. For example, to tame reflections in a vocal booth, or for reducing ambience and echoes at speech frequencies in large live spaces such as noisy bars, restaurants, and factories. Available in 2x4 and 2x2 foot sizes. Learn more about MicroTraps. Top |
|
REALTRAPS DIFFUSERS The RealTraps Diffuser is an extremely clever product, and it has fast become one of our best sellers. This unique design marries a high performance bass trap with a genuine QRD "well" diffuser that's effective down to the low midrange. It transitions from diffusion to absorption over the range between 400 to 800 Hz. The RealTraps Diffuser can be easily installed on a wall or ceiling using the supplied hardware, or mounted without harming the wall using either of our attractive stand models. |
|
RFZ
PANELS RealTraps RFZ panels are the perfect way to treat the first reflection points on the side walls and ceiling. They have a beveled front surface for an attractive appearance, and their 32x42 inch size also creates a larger Reflection-Free Zone than typical 2x4 foot panels. Learn more about RFZ Panels. Top |

GUILFORD MINITRAPS Guilford MiniTraps are part of our growing "spouse-friendly" product line. Guilford MiniTraps are built to the same high standards and with the same absorbing materials as MiniTraps and MondoTraps, but are wrapped with genuine Guilford of Maine FR 701 fabric on the front and four edges to blend with any decor. They're also available in custom sizes. Learn more about Guilford MiniTraps. Top |
|
TRI-CORNERS RealTraps Tri-Corners are the ideal complement for MiniTraps and MondoTraps mounted straddling corners. Besides treating more of the room's total surface, they're a good choice when appearance concerns prevent placing traps in wall-ceiling corner. They can also be placed in the tri-corners where two walls meet the floor as shown at left, making them barely noticeable. Learn more about Tri-Corners. Top |
|
PORTABLE
VOCAL BOOTH The RealTraps Portable Vocal Booth provides an elegant and affordable way to capture dry, clear sounding vocals, even in locations that are less than ideal acoustically. This clever device mounts on any microphone boom stand, or use it without a stand on a table top or other flat surface. Click the link below to see how effective the RealTraps Portable Vocal Booth really is. Sometimes size really does matter! |
|
REALTRAPS CARREL The RealTraps Carrel is the ideal desk-top solution for capturing clear, dry sounding voice-over recordings in almost any space. It's also great for creating a totally private noise-free environment for busy offices, libraries, study rooms, telephone call centers, and testing labs. |
|
GOBOTRAPS The GoboTrap system consists of a metal carriage with wheels that accommodates either standard or "Gobo" 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. The GoboTrap carriage hovers very low to the floor to minimize sound leakage under the traps, and the wheels are large enough to roll easily on thick carpet or over wires. |
|
MINIGOBO SERIES MiniGobos are lightweight affordable alternatives to our standard GoboTraps above. They're available in many sizes and configurations to favor either isolation, bass trapping, or broadband absorption. MiniGobos use hinges to join two or more panels together as a single unit that's stable, easy to handle, and self-supporting. They're also ideal as portable room treatment because no permanent mounting is required. |
|
QUIET ZONE The RealTraps QuietZone is a portable recording booth that's large enough to create a quiet and acoustically dead recording environment for many recording applications. It's ideal for singers and voiceover artists, as well as brass players. We also offer a Cell Phone Privacy Station model for use in airports, restaurants, or any other noisy location where patrons will appreciate a quiet and private area to use their cell phones. Learn more about the Quiet Zone. Top |
|
REALTRAPS CEILING TILES We offer eight types of ceiling tile as an affordable and attractive alternative to hanging bass traps and RFZ panels from a grid ceiling. These are essentially the same as standard and HF MiniTraps but without the metal frames. All sizes are available in any of our standard colors. RealTraps ceiling tiles are available in both 2x2 and 2x4 foot sizes, 1.5 or 3 inches thick, and in Standard or HF types for either bass trapping or reflection control. See the Prices page for a table of sizes, weights, and prices. Learn more about Ceiling Tiles. Top |
|
REALTRAPS ROOM KITS RealTraps offers a number of discounted full and partial (modular) Room Kits for a variety of situations and budgets. |
|
BARETRAPS BareTraps are the most affordable bass traps RealTraps has ever offered. BareTraps are similar to our popular MiniTraps, with a few small cosmetic differences that let us sell these "bare necessities" for much less. But the performance of BareTraps is first-rate, exactly as you'd expect from RealTraps! |
|
STANDS AND WALL STANDS RealTraps has two Stand models that offer an attractive way to mount any of our products for easy portability, and they're more stable than using standard microphone stands as described in the How To section. The RealTraps Stand shown at far left holding a MondoTrap can be placed anywhere in a room. The Wall Stand shown here with an RFZ panel is intended to lean into a corner or against a wall. Both stand types can be adjusted over a range of panel heights. |

MegaTraps absorb more, and to lower
frequencies, than any other bass trap product ever made at any price. MegaTraps are meant
for corner placement only, and boast a front face nearly three feet wide. When stacked
from floor to ceiling, they fill the corner completely for maximum absorption.
