Introducing the Primacoustic MAX TRAP BASS TRAP

12 January 10 - 08:25 - by Chris
The Maxtrap™ is a 24" x 48" corner-mounted bass trap designed to control low frequency modes.

This full-bandwidth device features a thick 3" front panel to absorb highs and mids.

A solid wood frame creates a 17" deep cavity behind the panel to control lower mid range and bass while a suspended diaphragm inside the cavity extends the bass absorption down to 40Hz.

This makes the Maxtrap™ the perfect full range sound absorption device to smooth out the peaks and valleys in your room.

Black cabinet with fabric wrapped Primacoustic Broadway acoustical panels.

Fabric wrapped panels are available in Black, Beige and Grey

Review on the Primacoustic Recoil Stabiliziers

11 January 10 - 14:21 - by Chris
This is a review of the Primacoustic Recoil Stabilizier from Harmony Central ...

I’m not the kind of guy who runs a green felt-tip pen around the rim of a CD so it "sounds better," or replaces my speaker cables with $100/foot diamond-crusted iridium wire that has to be plugged in a certain way to achieve harmonic oneness with the cosmos. And no, I can’t hear any significant difference between 96kHz and 192kHz.

So I’m naturally skeptical about a lot of the "snake oil" solutions that raise their ugly heads in the audio industry. And I have to admit, I thought the Primacoustic Recoil Stabilizer—a floating nearfield monitor platform, consisting of a metal plate on top of foam—was quite likely one of them. But apparently the company was expecting this kind of reaction, so they sent out a pair to various people in the industry, including journalists like Paul White (Sound on Sound), Andy Hong (Tape Op), and George Petersen (Mix), as well as engineer/producer types: Elliot Scheiner (Steely Dan, Fleetwood Mac, Sting, The Eagles, Queen), David Rideau (Jimmy Jam & Terry Lewis, Janet Jackson, Earth Wind and Fire), Joe Chiccarelli (Bon Jovi, Tori Amos, Annie Lennox), Butch Walker (Avril Lavigne, Fall Out Boy, Pink, Sevendust), Daniel Lanois (U2, Bob Dylan, Peter Gabriel), and Ari Raskin (Justin Timberlake, Sean Paul, Moby, Black Eyed Peas). And of course, yours truly. We all sent in our comments separately, yet all noted the same effects: Better imaging, more accurate bass, and more clarity in terms of transient response.

Quieting down Parker Kennels with Acoustical Baffles

08 January 10 - 09:35 - by Chris
Our dogs are in outside shelters with cement floors and covered with a metal structure. The reflected sound just kept going and going. With only hanging 1/3 or the required panels we have already greatly helped with the reflected sound. We are going to revise the method of installation so we can add more of the AlphaEnviro Baffles to complete the installation.

The product that was used in this application was the AlphaEnviro Hanging Baffles 1' x 4' x 2" Thick color White

Introducing The Full Trap Bass Trap

The Primacoustic FullTrap is designed to effectively control bass as low as 75Hz and extend well above the threshold of human hearing.

The 3-way absorption process includes an absorptive front panel to control mid-range and high frequencies; an air cavity behind the front panel that extends bass and provides low mid control; plus a heavy limp-mass membrane that is suspended within the frame and left to vibrate to absorb deep bass.
