The Primacoustic line of broadband acoustical products are easy to install, affordable and offer the look and performance of an architectually designed studio. The system is based on a modular concept that combines different acoustical absorbers to resolve the four common problems in all square rooms: The Europa Flutter Wall controls front-to-back flutter and works with the Scandia Scatter Blocks to reduce standing waves; the Orientique Washboards reduce side wash and powerful primary reflections; and the Australis Bass Trap is a corner wedge that tightens bass and brings balance back into your room. More than a dozen standard studio room packages are offered, ranging from a $215 6x4-foot voice-over booth treatment to 12x16-foot studios in the $875 range. Prices even include glue, and panels are also sold individually allowing users to customize their designs.
