PSI Audio AVAA C214 Active Bass Trap

Your speaker/room interaction is half your sound. You can invest in exceptional electronics and speakers, optimize every component in the signal chain, and still find that bass in your listening room sounds thick, uneven, and hard to resolve — because the room is doing things to the bass frequencies that no upstream component can fix. The PSI Audio AVAA C214 is what you do about that.

The Problem with Passive Bass Treatment

Passive bass traps work by absorbing bass energy in porous materials. To be effective at frequencies below 100Hz, a passive trap needs to be physically large — typically a quarter-wavelength of the target frequency, which at 50Hz means over a meter of depth. Most listening rooms cannot accommodate enough passive treatment to control room modes meaningfully. The result is treatment that helps at higher frequencies and does relatively little at the frequencies that cause the most obvious problems.

The AVAA Approach

The AVAA C214 is an Active Velocity Acoustic Absorber. Instead of physically absorbing bass pressure, it uses a microphone to sense the particle velocity at the room boundary and drives a small loudspeaker to create a counter-pressure that effectively simulates an infinitely absorptive surface. This active approach is three to four times more effective than a passive trap of equivalent size, and it works from 15Hz to 150Hz — the full range of bass problems that affect listening rooms.

Plug it in, place it in a room corner, and let it work. No room modification, no structural treatment. The C214 is self-powered and requires only an AC outlet.

Attractive
Style: Dress, Color: Silver/Green Dial
I bought this on sale for $69. I find this watch attractive. However In 2 months it lost 3 minutes, not a killer but in 2023 there is no need. My last watch cost $39 and had near perfect time over a year. Then died lol. The band is heavy and impressive but. It was larger than my wrist and needed a jeweler to remove a link. That can be typical for a metal band, I’m hairy and the hair gets caught and pinches. I’m thinking of a leather band. Ok all and all, looks like a more expensive watch. I’m not happy but I’ll keep it.
