He said: I can’t say how it compares to room-correction hardware made of wood and metal and fiber, but I do know that the DRC205 is a heck of a lot easier to install and set up properly than are bass traps and acoustic tiles, and takes up a lot less room.

phiaton_ms400

Price: $249

Website: www.phiaton.com

shunyata_elevator_300w

Price: $295 per set of 12

Website: www.shunyata.com
