AVAA C214 DIGITAL ACTIVE BASS TRAP

Digital active bass trap AVAA C214

The AVAA C214 uses innovative AVAA technology to effectively eliminate unwanted bass resonance in the frequency range from 15 Hz to 160 Hz. What sets it apart is its ability to achieve an equivalent absorption area up to 45 times its physical size. Remarkably, this breakthrough is achieved without the need for calibration or tuning.

Problem area bass

When it comes to the unadulterated reproduction of music or film sound in closed rooms, the bass range in particular is always faced with challenges. Keyword: room modes. They arise when the longer wavelengths of bass frequencies are reflected back and forth between parallel surfaces such as the walls. These reflections often lead to the waves overlapping and amplifying each other at certain points in the room or canceling each other out. The bass can be spongy, booming and overemphasized in certain places in the room, while it can be barely audible in other positions. And this is exactly where the PSI Audio AVAA C214 comes into play. It represents an innovative solution to effectively combat annoying peaks and cancellations of low frequencies and achieve tighter bass reproduction throughout the room.

Caught in the trap

The digital active bass trap PSI Audio AVAA C214 scores points above all with its ease of use. Compared to passive bass traps, which physically absorb sound and often take up a lot more space, the AVAA C214 is compact and can be set up directly where it is needed most - typically in the corners of the room or near the walls. Unlike active systems that work with anti-noise and generate anti-phase signals to reduce bass resonances, the AVAA C214 absorbs sound waves via two integrated speaker drivers without additional interference, resulting in a more natural sound environment. All you have to do is connect it to the power supply and switch it on - calibration is not necessary. The AVAA C214 works broadband in a frequency range from 15 to 160 Hz.

Space-saving and effective

The PSI Audio AVAA C214 is ideal for audio professionals, music lovers and home cinema enthusiasts who work in rooms with acoustic problems or who indulge in their hobby. The compact design of the active bass trap makes it particularly attractive when conventional, bulky passive absorbers are too impractical. According to the manufacturer, these would have to be up to 45 times larger to achieve the same effect as the AVAA C214. Since it works without counter-noise, it can also be used in living rooms and recording rooms without any problems. The result is a reduction in the reverberation time in the bass range, which in turn leads to tighter and clearer bass reproduction. Users who value precise sound reproduction and want to solve problems in the frequency cellar without extensive modifications will find the AVAA C214 to be a costly but powerful and space-saving solution.

Unobtrusive sound optimization

From professional control rooms and recording studios to home cinemas and audiophile listening environments at home, the PSI Audio AVAA C214 is versatile and is particularly recommended where space is limited. Thanks to a separately available mounting rail (PSI Audio AVAA C214 Feet), the active bass trap can also be set up lying down or mounted on the wall or ceiling without affecting the aesthetics of the room. Depending on the acoustic conditions in the listening room, an AVAA C214 can already deliver audible improvements in the bass range and thus also in the overall sound. However, PSI Audio recommends using two units in rooms with a floor space of 20-30 square meters for optimal results. The intensity of several AVAA C214s in a network can be digitally controlled using the free "PSI Audio" app (iOS and Android).

Remote Control

Thanks to our App (available for Apple and Android), you can easily activate/deactivate each AVAA C214 or AVAA C214 group. You can also adapt its area of effectiveness to suit its environment.

AVAA is a revolution

Based on the same absorption principles as the AVAA C20, the AVAA C214 is fully digital and allows control via an app.

No calibration required

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