At first I was quite sceptical about these large tubes. I thought they would inhabit to much space in my studio for what they could contribute to the sound, but clearly I was wrong.
I bought a pair of them and use them as monitor speaker stands. Their height seemed just right for my Genelec 8040's. They cleaned up the low end rattle/fussiness of my speakers which I wasn't aware off. And I clearly get now more direct sound especially in the lower frequencies then before. Very happy with the purchase.
The build quality is fine, but not exceptional, I guess. I can only judge that over the years. That's why I gave 4 stars for quality.

The Basstraps are a significant upgrade! They now come filled with denim, making them much lighter and easier to handle. Additionally, they've enhanced the lids, which are now smoother, further improving their overall design and functionality. I can't emphasize enough how much I appreciate these improvements. The team has really done a fantastic job with this new model. Even the packaging is top-notch, reflecting the attention to detail and quality that went into creating these Basstraps. I highly recommend them to anyone seeking effective sound treatment solutions.
Unfortunately there was an error. Please try again later.

Sehr gute Lösung auch in spezieller Anwendung

Aus räumlichen Gründen hängen meine Genelec 8030 Monitore im Nahfeld in etwa 130 cm Abstand und 140 cm Höhe symmetrisch zu einer Raumecke, was akustisch natürlich suboptimal ist und Baessdröhnen aus der Ecke verursacht. In diese Raumecke ragt auch ein Über-Eck Schreibtisch hinein.
Einige Zeit hatte ich Clearsonic-Panels nahe den Wänden in der Ecke. Akustisch war das OK. Allerdings gab es Probleme mit mangelnder Luftzirkulation und dadaurch mit Stockflecken.
Ankleben oder Schrauben von Akustik-Elementen war aus verschiedenen Gründen auch nicht möglich.
Die Lösung des verfahrenen Problems kam mit der Hofa Basstrap V2, die ich einfach auf die Ecke des Schreibtischs vor die problematische Raumecke gestellt habe. Das Bassdröhnen war sofort beseitigt und da keine Verklebung/Verschraubung erforderlich ist, konnte ich zudem die optimalste Position relativ zu den Genelec-Boxen und der Ecke durch Verschieben in wenigen Minuten ermitteln. Nicht zuletzt ist die Luftzirkulation nun bestens gewährleistet.
FAZIT: Die HOFA Basstrap tut akustisch exakt, was ich erhofft habe und löst mein spezielles Raumproblem in einfachster Weise.
In weniger speziellen Situationen sollte sie aktustisch mindestens so wirksam sein. Die flexible Positionierung ohne Befestigung erlaubt in jedem Fall schnelle akustische Optimierung und situative Änderungen.
