In this Primacoustic Broadband FullTrap (Wall) Review, we deep-dive into Primacoustic’s revolutionary broadband bass trap. Combining a diaphragmatic resonator, a full-size Broadway panel and a sealed enclosure, the FullTrap delivers unparalleled three-way absorption across the entire frequency range. If you’re chasing pristine low-end control, clarity and a balanced acoustic environment, this is the product that could redefine your listening or recording space.
Design & Construction
The FullTrap is engineered around three core elements:
-
Diaphragmatic Resonator: Functioning like an oversized microphone, this limp-mass structure actively resonates with room modes to capture and neutralise excessive bass energy.
-
Full-Size Broadway Panel: A 24”×48”×3” panel made of 6 lb/ft³ high-density glass wool fibre, absorbing frequencies down to 125 Hz and extending below 100 Hz.
-
Sealed Enclosure: Employing quarter-wavelength principles, the trapped air space behind the panel maximises low-frequency absorption, delivering deep bass taming where it matters most.
Crafted with a robust black melamine-laminated MDF frame and available in black, beige or grey, the FullTrap not only performs but also complements any studio, home theatre or listening lounge.

Acoustic Performance
Primacoustic’s FullTrap excels at:
-
Low-Frequency Management: The diaphragmatic resonator and sealed cavity ensure proactive modal absorption, smoothing peaks and nulls below 100 Hz.
-
Broadband Coverage: The Broadway panel delivers a linear absorption curve from 125 Hz up through midrange frequencies, reducing flutter echo and comb filtering.
-
Modal Decay Control: By migrating to the most powerful room modes, the limp-mass design accelerates decay times, tightening bass response and restoring clarity to instruments and vocals.
Our audiophile testing revealed a noticeable reduction in room modes, with bass becoming tighter and more controlled. Imaging and staging improve, unlocking detail in the midrange that was previously masked by excessive low-end energy.
Installation & Setup
The FullTrap ships flat-packed with all standard tool requirements and wall-mounting hardware included. Key points:
- Assemble the melamine frame and Broadway panel in minutes.
- Position on wall surfaces where corner trappings are impractical—behind monitors, beside mixing desks or flanking main reflective points.
- Pair with additional Broadway panels or diffusers to create a fully integrated acoustic solution.
For tricky layouts around windows or doors, the FullTrap’s wall-mount design offers a versatile alternative to traditional corner traps.
Who Should Consider the FullTrap?
-
Studio Engineers & Producers seeking pinpoint low-end accuracy.
-
Audiophiles wanting to enrich listening rooms with balanced bass.
-
Home Theatre Enthusiasts craving tighter cinema-style audio.
