So, you bought a new sub and were trying to reach the musical blue sky...but you ended up with the subwoofer blues. You thought maybe deep bass was supposed to sound this way: drab, sluggish and boring. You keep the volume turned down and the crossover set low so your sub can “support” the bottom end without drowning out the music. But... you know you can do better. It's time for a subwoofer stand! Now you can "raise" your subwoofer to its full performance potential! The SubTrap is more than a simple vibration isolation stand. In addition to isolation, it absorbs excess bass (the BAD bass) and decouples your subwoofer from room modes. Once you hear the difference, you’ll never go back! Only from ASC. Installation and integration could not be easier; just slip a SubTrap underneath your sub. You'll instantly improve sonic detail, changing “fuzzy” playback into a richly detailed picture by lowering the running noise floor of the room in the all-important low bass range. You'll hear musical bass lines you never knew existed! Utilizing our patented Isothermal technology to boost the low bass performance, the ASC SubTrap should be the foundation of your acoustic control plan. From there, build your musical experience with rich harmonics and a lush, immersive soundstage.Applications:
- Home Theater
- Two-channel HiFi Listening
- Home Studio
- Professional Studio
- Live sound

ASC SoundPlanks are the perfect companion to ASC TubeTraps for complete control of the acoustics in your room. After the bass range is under control, the SoundPlanks further improve imaging and flutter echo without taking up any floor space. Install approximately 16" on center near early reflection points for optimal results. Install with less spacing for a more "dry" sound. SoundPlanks can be used in many applications:- High-End Listening Rooms
- Recording/Mixing/Mastering Studios
- Offices
- Auditoriums
- Band Rooms
- Churches
- Day Care Facilities
- Gymnasiums
- Home Theaters
- Restaurants, Cafes & Coffee Shops

The MatrixPanel, designed for use when your listening position is near a wall, softening the sonic reflection of the wall without deadening the sound. -
With the IsoWall System, you get walls & ceilings that reduce sound transmission by 20dB or greater compared to standard interior walls. That is more than quadruple the perceived sound volume reduction, which is what makes our wall system the highest available using standard single-stud construction. Internally, the walls are tempered to move with the air pressure of bass frequencies. Where a rigid wall would shudder at high volumes (similar to the distortion in an overdriven speaker) and raise the noise floor of the room considerably, an IsoWall will "bend" with the pressure and absorb the sub bass sound wave while allowing the bass waves to reverberate cleanly.

Retain the ambiance of hubbub, enhance the clarity of table top conversation and quiet intrusions from across the room. Perfect retrofit for restaurants and coffee shops, fellowship and activity halls, meeting and conference rooms and specialty rooms such as home theaters, museums, art galleries and the great room at home.Turn plain sheetrock into cost-effective architectural acoustic ceilings
Create a sociable sonic landscape. Convert any room with a gypboard, wood or plaster ceiling into a class act, a room that looks beautiful and sounds even better, and yet, it's all so naturally comfortable, no one even notices.

The ASC Acoustic Test Signal
To explore the musical intelligibility and the sonic image-ability of your audio system... Play the MATT test first over headphones and then in your room. You hear a scale of rapid tone bursts that any HiFi system should be able to reproduce. Your system could but it can't because the room keeps getting in the way. Then concentrate on the sound stage. It's a mono signal and the image should stay stage center, tight and focused, but it doesn't. This test is a rapid gated slow sine sweep. It demonstrates the musical clarity vs frequency of the HiFi system in your room. In some ranges of sound you will hear strong rapid dynamic sound level changes while in other ranges the tone bursts blur together in reverberant chaos. You can also hear the more familiar peaks and valleys of your room. Then play it again but this time close your eyes and concentrate on the sound stage of this perfectly mono signal. In some tone ranges the image stays put; stage center, small and tight, where it belongs. But the next tone range sees the image lose focus and fluff up into a ball of fog. And yet another sees the image up and wander off, flying around the sound stage like Peter Pan. The objective of performing the MATT test in your listening room is to determine where you might move your speakers, listening position, and/or where to add acoustic treatment to your room to obtain the highest quality sound possible from the components in your listening environment. How fast is your room? Most audiophiles know how loud they can play their room before it begins to break up. Even the speakers have a breakup threshold, above which we begin to hear cone breakup and box buzz. The MATT test is an easy way to ring out your room without risking doing damage to structure or gear due to sustained power at one frequency. At lower sound levels it checks out the room acoustic part of your listening experience, sorting out clear dynamic bandwidths from blurred bandwidths.

The TubeTrap is the foremost corner-loaded bass trap in the audio industry. It was only natural that ASC would adapt the same technology to fit flush into corners, walls and ceilings. Art Noxon, inventor of the revered TubeTrap, went to work on the physics and before long, the Fractional TubeTrap was born.- The Standard Half Round TubeTrap is now a CUSTOM ORDER product.

Sometimes we need more absorption at a certain frequency or bandwidth than the standard TubeTrap for that same frequency range can provide. That’s when SuperTraps are called into play. SuperTraps are TubeTraps tuned to operate to lower frequency than their standard counterparts. They are standard TubeTraps whose interior has been fit with acoustic circuitry to reshape their frequency response curve in the bass range, creating more efficiency in one tuned bandwidth at the expense of efficiency in the sidebands.
