Basement live music/rec room
6791 My goal is to create a space to live jam/record music while reducing the db by at least 60. With the caveat that I have no personal experience of intentionally achieving as high a level of reduction, my understanding from the builds of others is that 60dB of full audible spectrum reduction is ...

952 Studios Construction!
6785 Been quite busy with my "day job" lately so progress has been slow, but saw a lot of progress in the last week I wanted to share. Ive been a bit demotivated by the project. Its difficult and exhausting, the level of detail required is also hard to balance with my own skill level. Ive...

I stuck the cooker hood filter material to the inside of the soffit speaker box with contact spray glue. Unfortunately there wasn't as much room at the top so I couldn't fit the duct liner there as I'd hoped to do. 20240327_163906.jpg Duct flanges on the plenum and bottom of the speaker box. 2024032...

Good article. Also in Scotland, "A fish supper" is what you ask for when you'd like "fish and chips"

I removed the "plastic barrier between the duct and the glass wool". It's that brittle crinkly type plastic, really noisy when it moves, like a crisp (potato chips for USA?) packet. I replaced it with food wrap (cling film) round the duct and that is silent. Problem solved.
Cheers!

Thanks Glenn. Yes, definitely related to the speaker output, it's fine with airflow.
Cheers!

On to connecting up the ventilation for the speaker boxes with 80mm diameter acoustic flex flex duct. One end will be attached to the smaller flange on the top of the plenum. The room ventilation will be attached to the larger 200mm diameter flange. 2024-03-19 15.03.28.jpg Here's the inner hose of t...

Thank you! Stuart mentioned this with regard to dealing with unwanted audio resonances within the speaker box: ...for resonance. There will "stuff" going on in there, between the speaker and the box. Cutting large holes and using abundant insulation around the speaker can help deal with th...

Stand alone "room in a room" studio build in Orange NSW Australia
No worries :lol: I installed the trapdoor because I anticipated having to access the ventilation filter box behind it every 6 months or so to change the filter. If it was just ducting and I was confident with the joins I'd probably just have drywalled it back up again. If the drywall was multi layer...

Thank you! Even in this unfinished state they've added another dimension of enjoyment to recording, listening to and mixing music. That big far clear sound is righteously joyous to behold. And I was reading Bruce Swedien's book recently where he discussed the importance of the accurate reproduction ...

That makes sense Glenn thank you. Today I got the other baffle and speaker box fully MLV'd and installed. It's much easier and faster once you know how! This time no shims were required for millimetre perfect alignment. I even became more proficient at cutting the MLV out around the speaker hole in ...

Thanks Glenn, that makes sense, I'll try to make that happen once the side baffles are in place. In terms of sound, aside from the obvious bass boost due to the speaker being in a wall, it might be my imagination but I'd swear I can hear the room sound and other ambience in recordings more clearly, ...

Getting the speaker boxes together. As Stuart suggested, I have some cooker hood insulation to line the inside of those to reduce resonances within the box. Fitting that will be fore another day though. The test fit showed the shelf was at a slight angle, tilting the speaker box forward. A 2mm shim ...

After I cut the speaker holes in both baffles I cut the inside edge of both to match the drop from the sloped ceiling. It has a bevel of 26 degrees, and so will the baffle on the side, allowing for a "hidden" join. Talk about a pressure cut, if I messed these up all the good work done prev...
