depends on the unit. also consider this - if you're in a hyper-insulated space with electronics and bodies - you will have heat and moisture :-) so more than likely you will need some cooling cycles even in winter... i only know of a few spaces where cooling wasn't needed and both are near the arcti...

the poly should add a good amount of the diffusion effects you are seeking. however, another option is scattered absorption on the angled sides 12x12x2" squares spaced on 36x36 should give a lot of diffusive effect without losing the liveness.

generally speaking, you would run the drain line from the unit into the framing on your isolation wall(s) - similar to electrical etc. and from there to an approach receptacle - usually a gray water drain or exterior of the building. i usually like to see it drop fairly quickly (steep angle) if poss...

Nicely done! Enjoy!

are you going to paint them? maybe the fractal from your main monitor?

a slight variation on the baffle size shouln't been an issue.

coolio! and once those soffits are in place it's going to be a whole new listening experience

yes or extend that side so you can add some of the insulation in front of it so at least its doing some absorption there. also, i typically only put the semi rigid on the face side and fill the rest, gentle packed with the soft pink (or typically light wall stuff). so in ordering of things: install ...

the example has a simple turn versus a "twisted path". technically, simply blocking a direct path should be enough - but - if you have noise in the system (machine, other rooms etc) then the extra turns expose more insulation to the flow and thus more opportunities to attenuate it. otherwi...

caulk on the gaps then mud.

assuming the top door is the house entry - consider building a wall in 3' or so from the top wall and making the door area the "airlock" and the rest as storage closet(s). this adds a barrier... then on the new construction - line between the studs and joists 5/8" type-x drywall. then...

that seems to be workable.

i suspect - no. the consideration is erosion over time. constant air flow will cause things to come off and enter the air your breath. if you do want to use it, then consider a lining over it to prevent it from escaping. a thin tough plastic will work. you'll miss some of the HF absorption but it ma...

so probably a bit late here: but when i do inside-out, i prefer to layout the full set of joists and using joist hangers + a ledger board to ensure full support, then slide the materials up on the joists and then spread them out and (assuming you have the room overhead) secure them, then the last se...

ahhh. gotta love caulk. caulk is your friend. you will learn to hate caulk, but caulk will still be your friend.
