AVAA C214 Active Bass Trap

You (Probably) Need This.
Room treatments in general, and bass traps specifically, are not the sexiest products in the audio pantheon. At least until you hear them. And even when you do hear them, it is quite possible that you don’t fully hear what they can do. Not through any fault of the treatments, but because bass traps generally have to be used in significant numbers or large sizes to be effective. Such installations are expensive and visually impactful. Unless, perhaps, you use active bass traps, like the PSI Audio AVAA under review here.
