Frequently Asked Questions

The C20 uses internal DSP and a feedback loop to dynamically adjust its absorption properties, resulting in more consistent and predictable performance regardless of room acoustics.
While it won't replace multiple traditional bass traps in a very large space, it’s surprisingly effective at mitigating the most problematic modes, especially in smaller to medium-sized rooms.
The Black version features a more refined aesthetic with a black finish, and may incorporate subtle improvements to the internal damping materials, though the core performance remains consistent.
