Used
all over the world, ASC StudioTraps are based on the famous ASC
TubeTrap, and are a powerful and versatile tool for the
recording industry. These Traps not only absorb sound energy, but
create diffusion to give the room a more defined and natural sound.
The front half of the StudioTrap cylinder is treble reflective to
give a bright, diffusive backscatter for recording with enhanced
presence. The back half is treble absorptive for the traditional
dry recording. StudioTraps are sold individually or as part of the
ATTACK WALL or QUICK SOUND FIELD package. Each unit measures 9”
in diameter by 49” long and can extend from a height of 54”
to as high as 74”. StudioTraps are available in a wide variety
of colors.

Attack Wall Application
Wrap the console with StudioTraps and add a few behind the mix position
to create a separate, repeatable, acoustic subspace,
independent of the room. The absorbing side of the Traps face the
engineer to stop those early reflections. The reflecting side of
the Traps face the walls of the room to provide a time delayed diffusive
ambience kick. Speakers are mounted on Monitor Traps which decouple
the midfield monitor from the vertical modes of the room. The speakers
are snug fit into an acoustic wall formed by Studio Traps. The resulting
ATTACK WALL opens
at the floor and ceiling to provide venting for the bass wave just
prior to impact which further reduces (LF) coupling to the vertical
modes. Best of all, it makes any room into a consistently reliable
environment.
Quick
Sound Field Application
The QUICK SOUND FIELD
is a nearfield acoustic environment that improves the quality of
the signal at the mic. It uses StudioTraps to surround and separate
both mic and talent from the room. The QSF creates a controlled
and very stable acoustic workstation and completes the missing link,
the acoustic part of the mic environment in todays digital studio.
Sonic structure inside the QSF is so consistent, you can break the
kit down, put it away, days later you can casually set it back up
anywhere and get the same sound you had before.
New Travel Bag Now
Available
After
all these years, ASC has finally come up with a nifty nylon carrying
bag for our famous StudioTrap. For folks with the Quick Sound Field
setup or anyone with StudioTraps, this bag makes portability a snap.
It's also a great way to store your Traps and keep dust and dirt
out.
It's a slip cover with a convenient
carry handle, placed to perfectly balance the StudioTrap when lifted
into a horizontal position. We used durable 240 oz. black coated
cordura nylon fabric and super tough nylon webbing for the handles.
Plus it comes with a drawstring at the base to keep the cover from
slipping off during transport.
If you do a lot of travel
and don't want to leave your StudioTraps at home, consider picking
up some travel bags, bargain priced at $39 per bag. Made in the
USA.
