Welcome to our Primacoustic Nimbus Cloud (Ceiling) Acoustic Treatment Panels Review, where we explore how these floating acoustic clouds can revolutionise your listening environment. Whether you’re a project studio engineer chasing ultimate clarity or a home theatre enthusiast seeking immersive sound, the Nimbus Cloud panels deliver precision absorption and aesthetic versatility.
First Impressions
From the moment you unpack the two 24" x 48" x 1.5" glass wool panels, the build quality stands out. Encased in micromesh with resin-hardened edges, the Nimbus Cloud feels both robust and lightweight. You can choose Broadway™ acoustically transparent fabric in black, grey or beige, or opt for the paintable textured white finish—ideal for blending seamlessly with any ceiling.
Design & Build Quality
• 1.5" (38 mm) thick, 6 lb/ft³ high-density glass wool core for broadband absorption
• Broadway™ fabric or custom paintable surface for aesthetic flexibility
• Helix™ cloud anchors and SlipNot™ cables included for quick, secure suspension
• Fire-safety certified to the most stringent standards in the US, Canada and Europe
The square-edged profile and low-riding suspension hardware create the illusion of an unobtrusive acoustic “cloud,” adding visual elegance without compromising performance.
Primacoustic’s Nimbus Cloud excels at taming first-order ceiling reflections and reducing RT60 times in the 500 Hz to 5 kHz band. The high-density glass wool core offers an NRC of approximately 1.00, ensuring significant mid-range clarity and high-frequency control. You’ll notice improved imaging, tighter bass definition (through better direct-to-reverb ratio) and reduced flutter echo—critical for critical listening, mixing and home theatre dialogue intelligibility.
Installation & Practicality
The included Helix™ cloud anchors, SlipNot™ suspension cables, T-anchors and eye-hooks make it easy to position panels at precise heights above listening or mixing positions. In under an hour, your studio ceiling transforms into an acoustic environment that’s ready for detailed tonal analysis and immersive playback.
