GIK Acoustics is expanding its low-frequency treatment lineup with three new deep bass trap panels, and this feels like a practical release aimed at one of the most stubborn problems in any room. Bass is still the part of the spectrum that gets ignored until it starts causing obvious trouble. It builds up in corners, smears the low end, throws off balance, and makes it harder to judge what is actually happening in a mix or a listening environment. GIK’s new range is clearly built to push deeper into that problem than the company’s standard panel options.
The new models include the Classic Bass Trap Panel “60Hz,” the Amplitude Bass Trap Panel “60Hz,” and the FlexRange Bass Trap Panel “50Hz.” All three are designed around deeper panel formats, with 20cm and 22cm builds that extend absorption further down into the bass range. That is the key point here. Most off-the-shelf acoustic panels are not doing much once you get well below 100Hz, so a product line focused on that lower area fills a real gap for studios, home cinemas, and listening rooms that need better low-frequency control.
GIK is targeting the hardest part of room treatment
The Classic Bass Trap Panel “60Hz” is the most direct of the three. It uses a 20cm mineral wool core and is built as a broadband absorber that reaches down to around 60Hz. GIK says it offers up to 25 percent better low-frequency performance than its 15cm models, which gives it a clear use case for people who already understand that thin treatment only gets you so far.
The Amplitude Bass Trap Panel “60Hz” takes that same deeper low-end focus and folds it into GIK’s more design-conscious hybrid approach. This model combines absorption, scattering, and diffusion, so it is aimed at users who want stronger bass control without giving up some high-frequency liveliness in the room.
Then there is the FlexRange Bass Trap Panel “50Hz,” which looks like the most specialized option of the three. Built around GIK’s two-frame FlexRange system, it reaches down to around 50Hz and includes a built-in air gap. It can also be configured in Full Range, Range Limiter, or Scatter Plate mode, which gives users more control over how the panel behaves depending on the room and placement.
A deeper product line with clearer real-world value
What makes this release worth paying attention to is that GIK is not only refreshing aesthetics or adding another minor variation to an existing product. The company is moving deeper into a frequency range that routinely causes problems in real spaces. That has value for producers trying to trust their low end, for hi-fi listeners trying to get cleaner bass response, and for home cinema users who are tired of room boom getting in the way of impact and clarity.
All three models have been independently tested at the University of Salford to BS EN ISO 354:2003 standards, which gives the launch some technical grounding beyond the marketing copy. GIK is also keeping the customization angle in place, with over 20 Camira Cara fabric options and multiple sizes available across the range.
The new bass trap panels will be shown at AXPONA 2026, which makes sense given the crossover appeal here between pro audio and hi-fi buyers. For GIK, this looks like a smart expansion of the line and one that addresses a real need instead of creating one.
