Any info on these yet? Different sizes ? Short enough for speaker stands ?

They look great!

**bpape** · **12-10-07, 06:26 AM**

Nothing specific yet. They should perform similarly to the Tri Trap. They're 16" square and not sure yet if they'll end up at 47 or 48" tall. They will sell individually but pricing is not yet fixed.

There are no plans at this point to have them as speaker stands but we could look into it. We have looked at making a version as a SUB stand.

Where is the bass trap? You mean the speaker?

**bpape** · **12-11-07, 02:41 PM**

Yup - the pedestal with the ball on top of it...

Oh, I see. I thought it was a speaker, but it is actually black on the sides. Looks nice. Please tell us more when you can.

won't this be less effective as your tritraps/panels because it's not close to a wall?

**Sonnie** · **12-11-07, 08:36 PM**

Had me fooled... I thought those silver panels were some new thin-line acoustical invention.

**eugovector** · **12-12-07, 07:19 AM**

Aren't the thin panels 703 FRK?

**Bob_99** · **12-12-07, 07:26 AM**

If I may ask on this thread, has anyone mounted the tritraps on the wall/ceiling corner and if so, how did you do it?

Thanks.

Bob

Hi guys.

The pillars should be almost identical to the Tri Traps in performance. They'll go in corners just as easily and actually have more surface area. They're just set up like that for a purdy picture. The pillar is actually open on all sides and just cloth covered for the most benefit from any placement.

The panels on the walls are just the way the walls in that room were. They're nothing we did.

Tri Traps aren't designed to hang - sorry. We have had some people do it by just using L brackets to sit on and others at the top to hold it from pivoting. Not real pretty but it works.

About a third of the way into the following thread, you'll find how I mounted some Tri-Traps up in the corners. I think you're looking more for how to do it horizontally, but this may help get ideas flowing:

Tim,

Thanks for posting the picture and the link. I checked out your post and nice work on the setup. Your waterfall plot looks pretty good and I imagine it must sound very nice. And yes, I was thinking horizontally for mounting but I guess I'll just build the traps like I did for the front ceiling/wall corner of the room. It would be just my luck to have a tricorner fall off if I tried the velcro. I was hoping there was an easier way.

Bob

The tricorners really do look good.

**srckkmack** · **12-12-07, 11:52 AM**

Bryan,
What are the dimensions of this new product?
When do you expect to release it for sale?
Any consideration of a quarter-round design of varying radius?

No doubt the tri-traps are effective, but they are too large for my corners.

Here are some additional pics in a different wood finish and a different cloth

**bpape** · **12-12-07, 05:47 PM**

Steve.

The new panels are 24x48x4.

The Pillars are 16x16x48.

The panels will be shipping January 1st. The Pillars should be soon after. Glenn and I are discussing running special pricing prior to the 1st as kind of a preorder. Will keep you posted.

Bryan

**srckkmack** · **01-20-08, 01:28 AM**

Bryan,
Any updates on the pillars?

**bpape** · **01-20-08, 08:28 AM**

The pillars are coming along. The should be ready in the next couple of weeks - hopefully sooner.

Bryan

**RedMed427** · **01-20-08, 02:22 PM**

What are the specs of the pillars? Are they bass traps or..??

**John N** · **01-21-08, 05:39 AM**

Post pics when you buy one

**mcallister** · **01-21-08, 03:48 PM**

any other new designs in the works? Mainly asking becuase of the tri trap question earlier I really need a few to fill out wall/ceiling interactions at the front and back of my rooms but are easy to hang. I'm not very handy

**bpape** · **01-21-08, 03:52 PM**

Actually, there are a couple of new things but it will be a while. We're still working on them. As for hanging Tri Traps, I got an idea from a customer for something that I think will work quite well. I still need to talk with Glenn about it and see what we can do.

Bryan

**mcallister** · **01-21-08, 03:57 PM**

Good news. Let me know details on the tri trap hanging when you can. Just ordered two more 244's from Glenn today. 7 new panels this month

Bryan,

Please keep us informed of the pre-order special for the pillars. My wife really likes them and I'm ready to order four of them in GOM black with cherry stain (to match my speakers) just to keep her happy.

**bpape** · **01-26-08, 08:44 AM**

Lemme talk to Glenn. I'm hearing they should be available in the next 2 weeks.

Any other interest in preorders? I might be able to twist his arm better if there was enough interest for a mini group by type of deal.

Bryan

**mcallister** · **01-26-08, 01:07 PM**

I may be interested in a pre order as well.
