5425 looking good RJ! Thanks Gullfo ! Last nite I had time to check out a ref or two ... then pulled up one of my current Mastering Projects. The 'correction' to what I'm now hearing CONFIRMS what was having me double/triple check ... and that weird 'phase issue' I sometimes heard in the sub-bass ....

UPDATE: Important step accomplished today ... we got the Clouds installed ! :yahoo: My Brother was able to come by this afternoon. We looked over the diagrams I had put together in Sketchup ... to include all measurements and such. Then, a matter of him tracking down the ceiling trusses and marking ...

well ... weekend past ... the hanging of the Clouds was not able to make the schedule. Will likely be day-to-day waiting :| Meantime .... it was clean up the workroom. Re-organize a few things ... so that was good. I also made a change to the S-hooks that attach to the ceiling runner hooks ... went ...

pix update:

For some reason the photo Cloud is not updating these latest ... so manual got them to post.

Here's a pix of the 2 Runners with installed Eyebolts, temp Chains and such


Hope to install over the weekend.

Good to hear.

Wish we had a Gov like FLA here.

update: Tonite was 'Runner nite'. Measured out where each Eyebolt goes ... drilled, countersunk, and installed all hooks. Chains .... a slight change of length. The Front Cloud will now suspend 12" down from ceiling. The Mid/Back Clouds are 8" down. This is closer to the 'spec' that Gullfo...

Hi Glenn ...

Hope everyone safe in Panama City Beach !

update 2 Tonite decided to get all the Chain lengths and hooks put together. The Mid and Back Clouds will be hung ~ 8" off the ceiling. The Front Cloud will be ~ 12" from the ceiling ... this will allow the front Cloud to hang about 4" lower. Clouds are 9-1/2" deep. Then I did an...

update: Alrighty then ... Runners have been painted and dried. Put together a design layout with measurements to be sure I'm prepping these boards correct. I want to have all the Eye-hook hardware in place before attaching to the ceiling. SketchUP is so handy ... here's the pic. 2022 - RJH - DEN Cnt...

update: 1x3x10' runner boards have been sanded, primed, and now have 1st coat of ceiling white paint ... drying in the garage. Not sure if 2nd coat needed ... we'll see. Today, returned to Lowe's to buy the paint, roller and stuff ... One thing I noticed last night were some of the S-Hooks didn't lo...

I think I bought the last 2, straight 1x3x10' boards :shock: Got them from Home Depot ... Lowe's had nothing. Need to sand them up a bit ... and then decide ... do I paint them white like the ceiling ... or do the Burgundy stain like the clouds ?!? :? Leaning more to making those 2 runners disappear...

Ah ... ok .... Thanks Glenn. Makes sense that the same concept is like the side wall absorbers ... they to are mounted off the wall at the thickness distance. Actually, I do like the look of them suspended off the ceiling [have the height] ... but now I know that the chain lengths are better defined...

Hi Gullfo, Maybe you can help me better understand ... What is the 'impact' of the distance the Clouds are off the ceiling ?? I've purchased Chains and Eyebolts, washers and nuts in preparation ... but I'm thinking of having additional length on these chains, just in case I might need to lower them ...

5383 if you have the head room, you can hang it down lower. another option is to swap it out for a track light and place that to sit between the cloud edges (i know someone suggested in GS to abut them, but leaving gaps is useful for increasing available edge absorption) and then having more flexib...

Question Glenn. Just to confirm the distance the Clouds are hanging from the ceiling. From your Design: The very Front Cloud is: 10-3/4" off the ceiling to the top of the Cloud. The Mid, Back Clouds are: 4-3/8" off the ceiling. Am I getting this measurement correct ? Issue: and I did NOT i...
