VTLF combines several technologies to create a unique acoustical core. First, it is an exceptional 80Hz bass trap- exactly at the key woofer to subwoofer crossover frequency. Unlike a traditional bass trap, it continues to absorb up through the woofer frequencies (315 Hz) then it turns off, preserving the mid and high tones. Lastly it does this without the need for heavy materials and is only 2-1/8" thick!
Application: Low frequencies are physically large; in fact, the wavelength for 80 Hz is over 14 feet long. It is generally recommended that treatment for low frequencies be placed in the corners where these sounds tend to build-up. That stated, proper bass treatment design is influenced by room shape and speaker placement; Kinetics recommends contacting an independent acoustic expert for proper layout.
