Primacoustic Saturna User manual

INSTALLATION MANUAL

Congratulations on purchasing your new hanging bafe kit from Primacoustic. The

Saturna, Saturna LP, and Saturna Mini are a family of ceiling bafes that are designed

to be suspended from ceilings to reduce excessive room echo in large, open spaces.

Please take a few minutes to read through this manual. It includes a list of included parts

as well as step by step mounting instructions. Please refer to www.primacoustic.com for

various placement options, benets and general acoustic information. Should you have

any questions or comments, we invite you to send us an email at [email protected].

1. Density - The number of bafes in a

given area will determine the rate of sound

absorption. This can vary depending on

room size and noise levels.

2. Pattern - Spread evenly for general

sound control or alternate panel direction

to absorb sound waves moving in multiple

directions. Using a grid like ‘tic-tac-toe’

layout will improve the performance as

more random energy will be absorbed

in the room. Notice that the bafes are

suspended in both X and Y axes so that

noise will be captured in both directions.

3. Suspension Height - The included

mounting hardware will suspend the

panels approximately 2” (5 cm) from the

ceiling at minimum. The included SlipNot

cables allow up to a maximum of 78”

(198cm)

4. SOLID BACKED CEILING

If one or more of your ceiling anchor

locations is on a solid backing, such as a

joist, you don’t need to use the included

buttery anchors. In such a case, use a

1/8” (3.2mm) drill bit to make a pilot hole

and screw the eye-screw in directly.

5. HOLLOW BACKED CEILING

If the backing above your ceiling is

hollow, use a 5/16” (7.9mm) drill bit

to make a hole for the buttery anchor

and follow the steps below. Repeat the

anchor and eye-screw installation until

all your suspension points are ready.

3. INSTALLING CEILING ANCHORS

If a stud-nder is not available, probe

your ceiling to nd out if there is a solid

or hollow backing. Using a hammer, tap

a nail into each ceiling anchor location

to determine the backing. If the backing

is solid continue to the next step. If the

backing is hollow, skip to step 5.

1. CEILING ANCHOR LOCATIONS

Measure and mark your ceiling for

suspension point locations. Pay close

attention to where you want the panel

to be situated. This way the included

Corkscrew anchors will be directly below

each ceiling mounting point. All cables

should hang perfectly straight to create

a dead hang.

6. ATTACH THE CEILING EYLETS

Remove the hook from the SlipNot cable

by pushing in the center pin. Feed the

wire through the ceiling eyelet, then

through the looped end of the wire.

Reattach the hook by pushing the wire

through the center pin.

Fold. Tap. Screw.

7. ATTACH THE PANEL

Clip the SlipNot hook through the

opening on the Corkscrew anchor. Pull

the cable to adjust the height.

8 . SUSPEND AND LEVEL

With the panel suspended, you can

ne tune the lengths of the SlipNot

by pressing the center pin to release

the cable. Level the panel and set the

spacing between ceiling and the panel.

2. PANEL ANCHOR LOCATIONS

The Corkscrew anchors are pre-installed

on the longest edge of each bafe. If

desired, the anchors can be moved to

the shorter edge of the panel. Turn the

anchor counter-clockwise to remove

from the panel. Mark the desired location

for each anchor on the short edge of the

panel. Ensure the markings are of equal

distance to each side to ensure balanced

weight distribution.

Carefully center the Corkscrew on the

edge of the panel. Twist and push the

anchor into the edge until it breaks

through the coating and is ush with the

panel. Be sure to keep the anchor as

straight as possible and proceed slowly

to avoid pushing through the face of the

panel.
