Congratulations on purchasing a TruTraps™ Genesis™ Acoustical Control System from
Auralex
TruTraps Genesis can be a standalone acoustical treatment or can be used to enhance
other Auralex products such as our popular Roominators™ kits. Even if you already
have a great room using other Auralex products, the TruTraps Genesis System can offer
additional acoustical control. TruTraps help clean up specific room mode issues, offer
diffusion options, and provide excellent broadband absorption.
Thank you for Purchasing Auralex

TruTraps Genesis General Information
Recommended Additional Installation Materials
• Caulk-gun (for Tubetak Pro) • Tape measure
• Carpenters Level • Small ladder (depending on ceiling height)
• Pencil • Straight Edge
Optional Additional Installation Materials
• Foamtak Spray Adhesive*
* This system includes Tubetak Pro adhesive, which is safe to use on all included products. If you wish to use an alternate adhesive, such as
Auralex’s Foamtak Spray Adhesive, for quicker drying times, make sure to still use Tubetak Pro when mounting Q’Fusors, as other adhesives
may cause severe deterioration.
Q’Fusor Installation Guide
Apply Tubetak Pro to the back of the Q’Fusor, as
➊
pictured. Wait at least 60 minutes to allow the Tube t ak
Pro to cure before continuing.
TruPanel Placement Options
Carefully press Q’Fusor onto the rear face of
➋
a TruPanel or directly to the surface of a wall
or ceiling. Since the Q’Fusor 22 is larger than
the beveled face of the TruPanel reverse the
TruPanel and orient the beveled surface toward
the wall or corner.
TIP
If you plan on painting the Q’Fusor, make sure to do so
before applying it to the wall, ceiling or a TruPanel.
CAUTION
Use only water-based paints on the Q’Fusor. Oil-based
paints will cause severe deterioration of the product.
