Sono Flex Duct: Snake Oil or the Real Deal?

It's a typical, normal insulated flex duct, so from that point of view it will do the job of moving air from point "A" to point "B". That said, the "acoustic properties" tables are somewhat curious! There's no indication regarding HOW they made those measurements, but I...

Ripple tank simlator

I just came across a really neat and somewhat addictive tool that looks like it should be very useful to help understand acoustics: https://www.falstad.com/ripple/ It's a "ripple tank simulator", that does a real-time simulation of how waves move, and allows you to add various "things...

Time for treatment

I just downloaded the MDAT, and I'm looking at it, but it seems there's an issue with your setup. Here's what your soundcard calibration shows: REW--Howie--Soundcard-calib--.png That curve should be almost completely flat, but it shows a large 5 dB roll off on the lows, and a large 5dB boost on the ...

Feasibility of Isolating Studio Above Attached Garage

DARN DARN DARN! I just found this again, and realized that I never replied, like I said I would. :oops: :cry: Hopefully, this isn't too late to be useful.... I have small music room on the second floor of an attached garage with a cathedral ceiling. It is adjacent to the master bedroom and adjacent ...

Home Mix Room Overhaul - DIY Panel Build - w/ REW Charts/3D Sketchup

Adam and Eve have something in common: Eve Audio's principal designer is Roland Stenz. He previously worked at Adam Audio. Hence the connnection and some shared approaches to speaker design. Right! Hence the name "Eve Audio" too! It's a not-too-subtle Biblical reference: According to the ...

Attic Shaped Studio

The room is South facing and all that glass acts like a greenhouse. Not a great environment to work in. Have you looked into applying heat-reflective film to those windows? There are some good ones out there now. Not too expensive, when you consider the cost savings in cooling. One drawback, is tha...

Home Mix Room Overhaul - DIY Panel Build - w/ REW Charts/3D Sketchup

Thanks for the update on your thread, Trevor! And yes indeed, those Eve SC-407's are really classy speakers. Exceptional, I think. As you noticed, they have a clarity and depth that is not common in speakers in that price range.... That's actually true of most of the Eve speakers. The "secret&q...

Wow! I've just spent some time reading through all of your thread about the HVAC part, Jennifer, and going over the calculations, and it sure looks like you have done your homework here! One caveat, which Starlight already brought up: using outside air to cool your room might not do all that you exp...

Not a very interesting addition, but useful for quick visualization. Just a very basic client couch that you can put at the rear of your control room, and re-size as needed The good news: it is Free! That's it. End of good news... :) It is a dynamic component that you can just drop into your studio ...

Hi there Zorgblaubaer, and Welcome to the forum! :) :thu: That's a complicated room you have there! And yes, you are correct in suspecting that the angled front wall is a problem. This is because symmetry is critical for a listening environment. Your left ear needs to hear the same "acoustic si...
