Cleaning up the acoustics with the PSI Audio AVAA C214 Bass trap

01/10/24

With the AVAA, PSI Audio has tackled the most challenging part of acoustics: room modes. The Active Velocity Acoustic Absorber imposes a very low acoustic impedance, practically acting like a hole in the wall, equivalent to 45 times the size of the device. Resonant frequencies are not reflected back into the room, but instead are eliminated, creating a clearer, more precise sonic image not just at the listening position, but in the entire room, with tighter bass and a perfect sound stage. The AVAA C214 features a DSP chip that allows adjustments via smartphone app. Working at a much higher efficiency compared to traditional porous absorbers, the PSI Audio AVAA C214 requires much less volume for a similar effect. Add to that the fact that the AVAA C214 can easily be moved to a different room, or a different house altogether, and requires no tuning or calibration, and it becomes clear what a powerful, yet compact solution it is.
