In this Primacoustic Broadway Control Column review, we'll explore why these acoustic treatment panels are causing such a stir in the audiophile community. As a team of passionate audio enthusiasts at The Audio Tailor, we're always on the lookout for products that can elevate the listening experience to new heights. The Broadway Control Column does just that, offering a perfect blend of acoustic performance, aesthetic appeal, and safety features that make it a standout choice for both professional and home audio setups.
Unparalleled Acoustic Performance
At the heart of the Broadway Control Column's exceptional performance is its high-density glass wool construction. With a density of 6lb per cubic foot (96 kg/m³), these panels are up to six times denser than typical foam alternatives. This translates to superior sound absorption across the entire frequency spectrum, ensuring a balanced and enhanced audio experience that true audiophiles crave.
The panels' ability to attenuate unwanted reflections and control room acoustics is nothing short of remarkable. Whether you're looking to tame office chatter or achieve professional-grade sound in a recording studio, these panels deliver consistent, high-quality results.
Safety and Durability
One of the standout features of the Broadway Control Column is its commitment to safety without compromising on performance. The panels are fully encapsulated in micromesh with resin-hardened edges, ensuring no loose fibres can escape. This construction not only enhances durability but also meets stringent ASTM-E84 and Can-UL S102 standards for flame spread and smoke development.
This Class-A/1 fire safety rating makes the Broadway Control Column an ideal choice for commercial, government, and institutional settings where safety regulations are paramount. It's reassuring to know that you can achieve professional-grade acoustics without compromising on safety.
Aesthetic Versatility
Acoustic treatment doesn't have to come at the cost of visual appeal. The Broadway Control Column offers three architecturally neutral colours and styles, available in both beveled and square-edged designs. This versatility allows the panels to seamlessly integrate into any decor, from sleek modern offices to cozy home theatres.
For those looking to make a more personal statement, the panels can be easily re-covered with any breathable fabric of your choice. This unique customisation option allows you to create truly bespoke acoustic treatments that complement your space perfectly.
Easy Installation and Flexibility
One of the most appealing aspects of the Broadway Control Column is its user-friendly installation process. The panels can be hung as easily as pictures, using the included impalers. This simplicity allows for quick setup and easy reconfiguration as your needs change.
The range of available sizes and thicknesses (1", 2", and 3") provides the flexibility to tackle various acoustic challenges. Whether you're dealing with first reflections in a listening room or need comprehensive broadband absorption in a professional studio, there's a Broadway Control Column configuration to suit your needs.
