Baffle box / Math question

so, if you have 260cfm and use a 1ft2 duct (round or square) barring all kinds of things like friction etc - you get a speed of about 260fpm velocity. if i go to a 2ft2 duct, i approximately halve the velocity. 12" x 24" = 288in2 20" round = 314.6in2 etc math (e.g. with inches) (handy...

Bricks or gyprock?

as eightamrock noted - the weak points will be the ceiling (unless you're also making that concrete :!: ), roof, and any openings you make in the dual brick walls such as windows, doors, hvac, lighting, etc. the reason for stud walls and drywall - if you have an exterior brick layer, then the drywal...

so - the thick material in the box - good. on the buzzing - the noise is related to the speaker output and not the air flow? if the space around all of that is filled with insulation (which is will be evenutally), i'd suggest in most cases this eliminates the problem. one other option is to make a &...

I want light and sound isolation

the fermacell approach looks like an option if it's in your budget (https://www.fermacell.com/en/flooring) as is the self-leveling compounds. either way you could put a hard layer (e.g. OSB) then your finish flooring. on the isolation question - i'd recommend you use isolation platforms for the drum...

Stand alone "room in a room" studio build in Orange NSW Australia

generally you want the soffits below the edge of the console or desk to be absorptive - so routing wiring in the lower section should not be an issue. many times you can create a wiring trough across the front to keep things need and cover it.

correct - the general ducting can be installed as a permanent part hidden away, but you should have access to the maintenance points - filters, a way to perform duct cleaning every 3-4 years, fans, etc etc.

Up All Nite Studio - 2022 [Control Room]

another option which might turn out faster - a "pillow case" type approach where you can sew it up to be a reasoably close fit (the block as probably +/- 1/16") and simply slip it over the stack and put the iso pad and speaker back on. to make it it simply sew it from the inside out, ...

How to run the drainline on a mini split

like any water - you want it moving away from your foundation - so options include a sluiceway (plastic, cement, rocks) to direct it to a downslope, or if there is a rainwater / storm drainage opening, you could direct it there or near there. example: i'm in Florida, so normal air humidity is 70-80%...

in the rear view of the soffit mounting, which will become behind the absorption face, is the plywood/mdf panel which extends the baffle below the edge of the front panel.

yes, that would work.consider building across the front another unit for absorption there leaving a few feet for the AC unit. depending o nthe room modes, that front unit could become a membrane trap. meanwhile it will help with reflections off the front of the desk - which is why your lower parts o...

if you cannot use backer rod and caulk, then a proper rubber flashing tape should be ok as the new layers of drywall should secure the edges even if somehow adhesion is lost. then the usual backer rod and caulk for the drywall. you could add clips and hat channel on the beam and wrap it with plywood...

welcome! it's the beginning of the journey to proper acoustics for critical listening :-) many other people have often been surprised by listening to their older recordings in a new environment.
