Get those soffits built, it’s truly a game changer.

4056 Maybe it would help to put a 10 cm panel on the chimney at head height, monitors? It is certainly worth trying! Did you mean the keyboard under the Pink Floyd flag? Ahhh! It's a keyboard! OK. I thought it was a side table. It would still b worth doing a test without that in the room, to see if...

Ooooopppppsss!!! :oops: Christian, I am so sorry! I have no idea how your thread slipped through the cracks, and never got approved.... :( I only just saw it now, still awaiting approval... I do hope you see this, and it is still useful for you! First: WELCOME to the forum! :thu: :) I'm a pianist, m...

Just wondering how things are going with your room, Mr.vybz? Have you managed to advance?

In this case is it not true that the room volume stays the same and my 'soffits' are just like huge speaker enclosures? That's true, yes... but ANY large object in the room will change the acoustic response. It isn't just about the air volume in the room, but rather about surfaces, reflection, abso...

I'm wondering the same thing! Any progress with the planning and initial design?

3117 Stuart will remember me as the guy building a studio on the 7th floor of an office building. Hey there Lindsay! Good to see you here! Glad you found the new forum. Sorry I wasn't around when you first joined up, but better late than never! I see Jennifer and Starlight have been giving you good...

3499 I figured I would update a few things as I keep working on a design so here is a long overdue update. Glad to hear it is still moving forward! From your last post, it seems you have advanced quite a bit on all fronts :thu: Do you have any further updates? I'm kind of intrigued with your projec...

On the chimney there is an absorption panel hr. 50 mm That's a possibility, certainly. I would suggest using something much thicker than just 50mm on that chimney. With 50mm, you only get good absorption in the upper mid range and highs, practically nothing below about 1 kHz. In other words, then e...

Thanks, Glenn!

Note to everyone else: The abundant framing on the front baffles, especially around the speaker cutouts. There's a couple of reasons for that, but one of them is to add additional rigidity to the baffle. Simple rule for building soffits: Beef it up!

One other thing: There's a better way to look at impulse graphs when you are doing my string trick: Salem-CR-L--Impulse.png That's from one of your MDATS, for the left speaker. To get that, go to the "impulse" tab, set the graph Y-axis units to "%" instead of "dBFS", zo...

And a brief response from something you asked about a while back: Question: The spikes seen at 180 µs, to 1080µs on either side are traced to the desktop. Would I be correct assuming that the human ear cannot detect that short of a delay and I can disregard it? If my memory is correct, I thought I h...

Hey Ron. All I can say is: WOW! I'm impressed! Amazing progress there. Some really REALLY great workmanship, all over. Good planning, and good execution.

Where are you right now? Did you meet the impossible deadline? What still needs doing?

I think he mentioned updating these at some point

Yup! Hopefully "some point" will arrive one day soon...

The sub should go where it does the job right! In a CR, the sub has two jobs; 1) Provide the low end for the mix, and 2) Deal with some of the problematic acoustic issues, such as modes and SBIR. For #1 the sub should go somewhere close to the front wall, not centered, exact location found by testin...
