Primacoustic Stratus 24 x 48-Inch Studio Ceiling Cloud, White
ThePrimacoustic Stratus is an acoustical device that suspends above the recordingconsole to control early reflections, flutter echo, and to help eliminatestanding waves that cause resonant peaks in the critical mix position. Once inplace, you will immediately enjoy a more controlled and intimate acousticenvironment, larger sweet spot, and reduced ear fatigue.
Attractiveand very affordable, the Stratus ships in kit form and is easily put togetherin minutes using a simple screw driver. The kit includes a 2” thick, 24” x 48”acoustic panel made from high density 6lb per cubic foot (96 kg/m3) glass wooland suspension hardware. The glass wool is encapsulated with micromesh and theedges are resin treated to retain the minute fibres. For an attractive appearance,the panel is covered in an acoustically transparent fabric.
Thesuspension hardware consists of two light-weight aluminum rails and “L”brackets that form a rigid frame around the panel. To hang the Stratus, simplyattach the included suspension wire to the frame. Hardware and fasteners forsheet-rock ceilings are included in the kit. Typically, the Stratus would besuspended above the console and clustered in an array spanning the width ofyour console and listening area.
The Stratusabsorbs sound energy by converting it to heat. Sound energy traveling via airvibrations penetrates the panel causing the minute glass fibres to vibrate andgenerate heat. This thermo-dynamic energy transfer effectively absorbsdirectional sound energy and prevents it from reflecting into the mix position.
By itself,the 2” thick glass wool panel is 100% effective for frequencies between 400Hzand 20kHz (see the acoustic absorption chart). To help control a broaderfrequency spectrum, the Stratus may be angled to vary the air space between theStratus and the ceiling. This allows the backing surface to also absorbreflections off the ceiling.
