Re: RealTraps SoffitTraps don't ...

Mike,

You are absolutely entitled to return it for a full refund (less shipping).

This is a problem for both us and our customers when someone wants to "try" only one trap. Had you bought four or more of them I'm certain you'd have measured and heard an improvement. I don't know of any bass trap that absorbs more than a SoffitTrap (BTW it's not an empty box), but you can't expect one trap to make much of an improvement in any room!

I also suspect that if you measure using a more sophisticated program like ETF that you'll see at least a small improvement. Not only in frequency response because ETF can measure to a much finer resolution than 1/3 octave, but also a reduction in low frequency ringing. None the less, if you're not prepared to get enough of them to do the job right, I certainly don't want you to feel stuck with it. Give me a call on Monday and I'll tell you how to return it.
