The tri-corner of a room transforms and compresses all of the acoustic energy in a sound wave into pure pressure fluctuations. TowerTraps are designed to take full advantage of the acoustic pressure zones created in the corners of a room. The design of the TowerTrap converts these pressure changes into air movement, and, through the regulated friction in the walls of the TowerTrap, energy is damped out of the sound wave.

Simply bass trap the corners behind the main speakers to stabilize reverb buildup in the front of the room and add shock control for attack transients. This will remove room boom and clarify tonality and soundstage.

At first placement of the TowerTraps in the front corners (behind the speakers) of the room, orient the reflector to point towards the listening position to maintain room ambience. The chrome buttons on the two faces of the TowerTrap locates the center point of the built-in reflectors. The TowerTraps can then be rotated to orient any of its 4 faces toward the listening position for dialing in the sound preferred by the listener(s).

Add 2 more TowerTraps in the back corners to smooth out peaks and valleys of the major room modes. Add additional side wall TowerTraps halfway between speakers and the listening position to block early side wall reflections and enhance imaging. Orient the reflectors on the side wall TowerTraps toward the back, and corner TowerTraps toward the listener. These may be adjusted for listener preference in the same manner as the front 2 TowerTraps.
