Primacoustic London 8 Black

The Primacoustic London 8 Room Kit in black is designed for rooms up to 9 square meters. It contains 12 panels from the Broadway series and can be combined with other products to treat larger spaces. The London 8 is ideal for home theaters, recording studios, streaming setups, and home recording spaces. These kits are an excellent starting point for implementing acoustic treatment in your listening room.

The London 8 includes a selection of Broadway panels that address common room issues, such as early reflections, flutter echoes, and standing waves. In addition to the acoustic panels, each London 8 kit includes the necessary mounting hardware and instructions for easy installation.

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.

London Kit 8 Installation Examples

Included Scatter Blocks

Broadway Scatter Blocks provide an easy-to-install solution for acoustic treatment in spaces where you want to control sound without eliminating the natural ambience.

Made from high-density glass wool (96 kg/m³), these 305x305mm panels are 25mm thick. They are designed to be spaced according to a predefined pattern-on large or small surfaces or walls-to create an effect known as Primacoustic Soft Diffusion. Scatter Blocks offer a cost-effective alternative to traditional rectangular or skyline diffusers positioned along all surfaces of the room.

To reduce standing waves within the room, it is best to position these panels so that they alternate between absorption and reflection. The Scatter Blocks are finished with a black, sound-transparent fabric.

The included Control Columns

Also made of high-density glass wool, they have a vertical design measuring 305x910mm and 30mm thick. The Control Columns are designed to be spaced apart according to the dimensions of the room being treated. They address the early reflections that occur between the sound source and the listener. During installation, it is essential to leave space between the panels to allow some of the energy to reflect back into the room, preventing the space from becoming too muffled and thereby maximizing the panels' absorption efficiency.

Primacoustic Control Columns are specifically designed to treat early reflections. If left untreated, these reflections could match the amplitude of the direct sound from the monitors, potentially causing phase cancellations and the resulting comb filter effect. Typically, Control Columns should be placed on the side walls and spaced 15 to 35 cm apart. Control Column panels are finished with a black, sound-transparent fabric.

Surface Impalers Mounting System

The London 8 Room Kit in Black includes 16 Surface Impalers and a set of screws and drywall anchors. The Primacoustic Surface Impaler is used to provide the user or installer 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. Surface Impalers are secured to the surface using standard anchors and screws for concrete or drywall. A set of drywall anchors with matching screws is included.

Documentation and Certifications for Primacoustic London 8 Black

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 the panels included in the London 8 Room Kit Black:

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, drill holes and install the wall anchors that will support each flange clip.

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

Scatter Blocks: Use one Impaler for each panel.

Control Columns: Use two Impalers each.

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 prongs. Apply just enough pressure to push the panel onto the prongs. The panel will slide onto the Impalers and sink in about 2 cm.

Now the panel is properly installed!
