AVAA C20

Active bass trap
Unique: easy to set up and move, no calibration required, as efficient as passive absorbers 25 times its size, the AVAA C20 typically reduces the resonance time of all room modes between 15 Hz and 150 Hz by up to 50%*.

“In short, there was not enough “BOO..” in the bass – but way too much “…OOOMMMmmm” clouding the overall image. Once we turned on the AVAAs, we could all hear the “BOOM” clearly – and everything else in the mix too.
Needless to say, we abandoned all of the first day’s mixes and started over – sans dark fog.”
Andy Hong, Tape Op Magazine

“It’s a remarkable technology that perform so well you think it breaks the laws of physics. There’s nothing else on the planet that comes close to the performance of this patented technology!
Sonically it has taken my room to a level of sonic accuracy that I never thought could be attained without some serious compromise, usually and over damped room in the mid frequency and high-frequency decay time.”
Bob Katz, Digital Domain

“The effect of the AVAAs is dramatic and not subtle! The bass became instantly tighter, more defined and evenly balanced throughout the entire space and out into my living room.”
Barry Rudolph, Mix Magazine

“Immediately, I was struck by a clarity and definition in the low end that was not there before. Any hazy or muddy low end notes are now clear as day. Separation between kick bass was almost laughably easy to identify and dial in. Notes that went up and down the bass scale were solid and well-defined.
The difference to my image was a huge improvement. My mixing time has sped up quite a bit as I am getting a much better picture of what is going on, and I can make fast, confident decisions. ”
Rich Crescenti, Sonic Scoop

Working from 15Hz – 150Hz
Whether you have 1, 2, 3 or more disturbing room modes, the AVAA C20 will work on all of them. It will absorb all undesired room modes.

No calibration required
Simply place it where your room modes are and it will absorb them. No calibration required.

AVAA is a revolution
Since its release in 2016, AVAA has grown a reputation of being the secret weapon of the acoustic treatments and a revolution in room acoustics.

High efficiency
As effective as a perfect passive absorber up to 25 times its size.

100% analogue
No DSP is used. Its 100% analogue technology allows a zero latency processing.

Works in any type of room
The AVAA C20 can be used in recording/mixing/mastering studios, OB Vans, hifi listening rooms, machine rooms…

Absorption only
Thanks to our technology, there is no signal emitted, only absorption.

Plug and Play
No calibration required. Simply place it where the room modes are.

Portable
Take it from your recording room to your mixing studio easily.¸

So many types of applications
Once you have solid walls, modal behavior becomes unavoidable, but the AVAA C20 is incredibly effective in mitigating it.

Why we created the AVAA technology.
The birth of the AVAA idea occurred in the late 90s as we tested PSI Audio monitors in recording and mixing studios. We discovered significant variations in their performance from room to room. While some studios had proper acoustic treatment, many lacked absorption, leading to issues with room modes and imprecise low-end sound.
In 2012, we seized the opportunity to launch the AVAA project with the support of two Swiss universities who backed the project for three years. We knew our goal, but the challenge was figuring out how to achieve it. With the help of the best engineers in electronics and electroacoustics, we succeeded in creating this amazing active bass trap.
Initially, we only intended to use our product to showcase our studio monitors. However, it quickly gained a positive reputation and interest skyrocketed.
