Professional 4-Inch Bass Traps - Maximum Low-Frequency Absorption
Premium 4-inch thick acoustic bass traps with NRC 1.0 rating - the gold standard for low-frequency control in recording studios, home theaters, and critical listening environments. These extra-thick panels absorb bass frequencies that standard 2-inch panels cannot, eliminating boomy bass and standing waves for accurate, tight bass response.

Why You Need 4-Inch Bass Traps
Bass Requires Thickness: Low frequencies have long wavelengths that pass right through thin materials. Standard 1-2 inch panels work great for mid and high frequencies, but bass needs mass. Our 4-inch bass traps provide the thickness required to absorb problematic bass frequencies that cause muddiness, room modes, and standing waves.
The "Mud" Problem: Untreated rooms trap bass energy in corners and along walls, creating an uneven bass response. You hear too much bass in some areas, not enough in others. This "room boom" or "bass mud" makes it impossible to mix music accurately or enjoy movies with clear, tight bass. 4-inch bass traps solve this problem by absorbing excess bass energy where it accumulates most.
Professional Studio Standard: Walk into any professional recording studio and you'll see thick bass traps in the corners and on walls. Why? Because accurate bass reproduction is critical for professional work. Our 4-inch panels use the same Knauf ECOSE fiberglass core found in studios worldwide - high-density, rigid fiberglass that provides maximum low-frequency absorption.
Where to Place Bass Traps
Corners First: Bass energy accumulates in corners (where walls meet walls, and walls meet ceilings). Place 4-inch panels in corners for maximum impact. Just 4-8 corner bass traps can dramatically improve your room's bass response.
First Reflection Points: After corners, place bass traps at first reflection points on side walls and behind your listening/mixing position. This combination of corner and wall placement provides comprehensive bass control.
4-Inch vs 2-Inch: When Do You Need Thick Panels?
-
Use 4-inch bass traps when: Bass is boomy, muddy, or uneven | Recording or mixing music with heavy bass | Home theater with subwoofer | Small rooms where bass builds up | Professional or semi-pro applications
-
Use 2-inch panels when: Treating echo and reverberation | Voice/podcast recording | General office noise control | Budget-conscious projects
-
Best Practice: Combine both - use 4-inch in corners and bass-heavy areas, 2-inch for general wall coverage
