Primacoustic 2 Paintable 24x24

The Primacoustic BroadBand Absorber is a kit of 3 sound-absorbing panels from the Broadway series, ideal for treating any room, available in a paintable finish. Each panel measures 60.96 x 121.92 cm and is 51 mm thick. In this version, the panels feature a beveled edge.

Primacoustic Broadway panels are made of high-density fiberglass (96 kg/m³) and offer nearly five times the absorption of typical low-cost foam alternatives (pyramidal and embossed). This means you'll achieve greater absorption using fewer panels, while ensuring a uniform attenuation curve across the entire frequency range.

The Included BroadBand Absorbers

Primacoustic BroadBand Absorber panels provide an easy-to-install solution for treating spaces where maximum control over early reflections is required. Made of high-density glass wool, they measure 60.96 x 121.92 cm and are 51 mm thick. Their large surface area provides excellent absorption across the entire frequency spectrum, making them particularly effective at improving speech intelligibility and, therefore, ideal for installations in large spaces where reverberation and echo are excessive. The BroadBand series panels are perfect for installation either flush against the wall using Surface Impalers or at an angle to increase their absorption in the low-frequency spectrum.

Surface and Corner Impaler Mounting System

The Paintable BroadBand Absorber panels are easy to install using the specially designed Primacoustic Surface Impalers and Primacoustic Corner Impalers. Primacoustic's Impaler system is designed to provide users or installers with a simple, quick, and effective method for mounting Broadway fiberglass acoustic panels on walls without causing significant damage to the surface.

The galvanized steel impaler features a series of protruding, sharp prongs that penetrate the panel to secure it in place during installation. To ensure the panels do not shift after installation, we recommend applying a small amount of adhesive to the tips of the Impaler during the mounting process; this adds an extra layer of security and reduces the risk of tampering. The Impaler mounts are secured to the surface using standard anchors and screws for concrete or drywall.

What does "Paintable" mean?

If you ask anyone in the industry what the most common customer issue is, they'll surely tell you it has to do with color selection. Primacoustic Paintable panels were designed as a neutral solution that allows the end user to decide on the color after the panels have been delivered. This eliminates uncertainty about color selection and opens the door to creative use of textures and finishes.

Primacoustic Paintable is an innovative line of acoustic panels finished in Absolute White that can be repainted in any color you prefer! The design starts with the same high-density glass wool core (96 kg/m³) used in the Broadway series panels. Instead of wrapping the panel in colored fabric, the front and edges of the Paintable panels feature a breathable latex finish that allows them to be spray-painted or printed on without affecting their acoustic performance. The unique coated surface of Paintable panels can be printed at any print shop. Using a UV flatbed printer capable of handling a thickness of at least 5 cm, you can apply custom graphics, photos, logos, or an image of your choice to the front of the panel. This high-resolution printing applies a thin coating of vibrant colors without compromising the panel's acoustic performance. Full customization of your acoustic treatment is now possible!

Primacoustic BroadBand Absorber Paintable Documentation and Certifications

All Broadway panels are laboratory-tested for acoustic performance and fire safety. Class A/1 fire-rated, they meet the stringent ASTM-E84 and CAN-UL S102 requirements for flame spread and smoke development. This makes Broadway panels safe for use in commercial, government, and institutional installations.

How to Install Primacoustic BroadBand Absorber Paintable Panels:

Surface Impalers

Step 1: Use a spirit level to draw a straight line with a pencil where the top of the panels will be positioned. Measure along this line and carefully mark where the corners of each panel will be. If you plan to space the panels apart, include the measurement of the space between them.

Step 2: Hold the Surface Impaler clip against the wall and mark the positions of the screw holes. Precise alignment is not necessary. The clips can be placed anywhere within the panel's space. Using a drill, make holes and install the wall anchors that will support each flange clip.

Next, install each bracket, making sure to tighten the screws securely!

Step 3: Tilt the panel so that the top edge touches the wall. Carefully align it with the straight line and the marks you made in Step 1. Remember to place a spirit level on top of the panel to keep it straight as you guide it onto the clips. After aligning the panel perpendicularly, bring the back into contact with all the Impaler tips. Apply the right amount of pressure to push the panel onto the support tips. The panel will slide onto the Impalers and sink in about 2 cm.

Now the panel is properly installed!

Corner Impalers

Primacoustic Corner Impalers simplify the installation of BroadBand panels in the corners of the room to form effective bass traps. Like the Surface clips, the Corner Impalers feature sharp spikes that penetrate the panel and hold it securely in place.

Use 4 supports for each panel.

Step 1: Identify the approximate position of the panel in the corner; draw a horizontal line with a pencil exactly 432 mm from the corner vertex on both sides.

Step 2: Mark the positions of all screws/anchors along the edge of the pencil line. The Corner Impalers should be located approximately 15-20 cm from the top and bottom edges of the panel.

Step 3: Install the included anchors for each Corner Impaler if your wall is made of drywall. Otherwise, use anchors suitable for the type of surface on which you will be installing the panels. Use the pre-drilled holes on the bracket to tighten the screws!

Step 4: Once the flanges are in place, carefully rotate the sharp points of the Impaler so that they are all facing upward at a 45° angle.

Step 5: Lift the panel so that it comes into contact with all the spikes on the corner Impaler. Once it's aligned perpendicularly, apply even pressure across the entire panel and slide it onto the clips. The panel will sink in about two centimeters.

The panel is ready!
