Primacoustic Broadway Broadband Panels
Primacoustic Broadway panels deliver high-density broadband absorption with a rigid fiberglass core and durable finish, making them a go-to for gym wall installations where robust low- and mid-frequency control is needed to tame bounce from rubber and equipment. They balance professional acoustic performance and competitive pricing, undercutting some bespoke fabric-wrapped solutions on cost while offering better low-frequency response than thin foam options such as Auralex, which makes them particularly cost-effective for large gym floors.

Auralex SonoFlat Acoustic Foam Panels
Auralex SonoFlat panels are lightweight, affordable foam absorbers designed for quick installation and wide coverage, making them a budget-smart choice for gym owners who need fast reverberation reduction across hard-floor training spaces. While they are less effective at low-frequency attenuation than denser products like Primacoustic and GIK, their lower upfront cost and easier handling translate to financial and logistical advantages for projects prioritizing immediate echo control over deep bass trapping.
