952 Studios Design Planning
6369 Iso clips and hat channel to decouple the mass from the inner walls. Ahhh! OK, now I get it. But that being the case, do you still have a good place to mount the mini-splt unit? Normally you want the base plate screwed into studs, but if you only have hat channel on iso clips, is that a good e...

Soundproofing a music room on the 7th floor in the middle of Oslo
Thanks guys! I should have seen that myself. Another key give-away was posting on a thread that's had no activity in 2 years, and that had already been answered.

6367 Actually, you just gave me a great idea. :thu: A quick question: are you using two-leaf isolation walls? If so, then you should have two top-plates: one on the inner-leaf, where your room ceiling rests, on one on the outer leaf, where the roof rests. Usually it is possible to run the plumbing ...

952 Studios Design Planning
Due to an issue I had not anticipated, I can not put a hole big enough in the top plate running up to the attic to house the linesets without compromising the structural member. Does it have to go in that location, where you would need to run the lines through the top plate? Maybe it would be possi...

Recommended Studios in Brisbane
Hi there Willo, and Welcome to the forum! :thu: :), I don't live in Australia (even though I was born there), but I sure do wish you luck with finding a place for your daughter! Hopefully some forum member who knows the Brisbane area will be able to help you. About the closest I can get is with a cl...

Stuart's Rules for Soffits / Flush mounting speakers
i'd check to see if the amp on the Focals can be moved or not It can, and we did it in this case, because of the very limited space in the soffits and the need to access the rear panel. There was no place to put an access hatch in the soffit. So we did it here, but I wouldn't recommend it, unless r...

Stuart's Rules for Soffits / Flush mounting speakers
I am open to possibly upgrade to the Focal Trio6 BE's. With the extra benefit they go 5Hz lower down to 35Hz (+/- 3dB) in comparison to the Shape Twin's. I'm really curious how that will sound flush-mounted in a well treated room. It would probably work out something like this... FrKCAUS--complete-...

Stuart's Rules for Soffits / Flush mounting speakers
According to Floyd E. Toole's book 'Sound Reproduction', mounting a speaker inside a wall, flush with the surface, results in a 2Π half-space radiation. That's correct, yes. And much of that is in the low frequency realm. Mids and highs are already in half space, even for a totally free-standing sp...

Stuart's Rules for Soffits / Flush mounting speakers
Hi, I'm new here and I'm not sure if I'm supposed to ask questions in the reference area, but this relates to the topic and therefore might be useful for others who are gathering information on flush-mounting monitors as well. If this is not the right place to do so, please notify me. Hi there, PLG...

Interesting! I'm thinking way back to the Wyle report of 1973 and wondering if this behavior of GG has something to do with point-contact and line-contact bridging between the layers. Perhaps its a subject worthy of investigation by some student of acoustics, for a thesis! Understanding the mechanis...

:thu: Right! Great advice all around. And adding to the above advice about the slab: If you need very high isolation, then there's also the option of pouring separate slabs: one for the outer leaf, and one for the inner leaf, isolated from each other by a small gap filled with suitable resilient mat...

HI there HoboRec, and Welcome to the forum! :thu: :D Congratulations on your plans for your studio! The basic concept looks pretty good. So I'm just adding a few comments here, in general. As you mentioned, what you have there is sometimes called a "corner control room", since the rear wal...

Relocating Plate Amplifier from powered / active monitors
Hi there, and Welcome to the Forum! You might not need to relocate the amp. You can safely mount your Focal Twins in soffits, as long as there's a good air ventilation path inside the soffit, up past the rear of your speakers. I've designed a couple of studios with soffit mounted Focals, and as long...

6281 When you mention hard back, do you mean something like plywood or MDF as the backing material of the cloud? so from the "top" down I would have my ceiling -> an air gap -> plywood/mdf -> rockwool -> fabric wrap. Right! That's the idea. And after you have angled it, there will probabl...
