7345 The 800cfm figure is for fresh air. The system will be adjustable in speed. The 800CFM is full capacity. I like to go overboard on these sorts of systems to avoid running things flat out. You certainly can do it that way if you want, but it does waste money. You only really need enough fresh a...

7343 Hey Stuart, Thanks so much for your advice. Many things to ponder here. Yes, you are correct the diagrams posted are first rough revisions. The monitoring positions were thrown in last minute so readers could get an idea of the planned orientation of the control room. Cool! Makes total sense. ...

7328 Haven't played some music yet but just wanted to double check. Ahh!!! That's the key... Try it out and see. As Glenn mentioned, having the axis intercept about a foot or more behind your head is what gives you the best results. I'm pretty sure you'll agree, once you try it out. In fact, if you...

Hi Braduv, and Welcome to the Forum! :D :thu: A few brief comments: The space will be used for mixng and mainly overdubbing. On occasions drums may be tracked in the small booth space. I'm amining for an STC of 60+ 60 dB isolation is a tall order. Do-able, but not simple. Also, you shouldn't really ...

Hi Mike, and Welcome to the forum! >thu> I want place my Kali in5 's That's an interesting speaker... I hadn't heard much about it, so I looked it up. The tweeter and mid are coaxial, which implies that the acoustic axis is going to be very much towards the center of that pair, but not necessarily r...

Hi Bill, and Welcome to the forum! :thu: 1) If the 8" air gap covers a wide frequency range (hopefully capturing the bass drum, <100 hz), does larger air gap 12 or 16 get more isolation, or is 8" a point of diminishing return? A larger air gap lowers the MSM resonant frequency, and therefo...

the engineer that I had hired to help evaluate my structure has lost her licence and is being sued for negligence related to concrete works in a bunch of commercial buildings. I've decided to hire another engineering firm :shock: Wow! Sounds like a really smart move to get a new engineer! Glad to h...

I'm assuming this room is already fully isolated? In other words, you'll be adding insulation to the final, inner leaf of the room? No more isolation needed? So your intention is only to treat the completed room now, not isolate? Just checking, because often there's confusion here. OK, assuming this...

Normally I don't allow newcomers posting unrelated links to YouTube videos, but in this case I'll make an exception, since it really is a very interesting comparison of room sounds. The differences are crystal clear, not subtle, and somewhat surprising (assuming that all factors were kept identical ...

could you remove the sides top and bottom of the speaker box, mount the face with the speakers attached in the baffle box and ... I would not recommend doing that. The speaker box is an integral part of the overall speaker design and performance: if you take parts away from it,then you are going to...

As Glenn mentioned, doing tests in the empty room reveals the basic, underlying response of the overall room, which gives you good hint on what treatment you'll need in the low end, and some hints on where to put it. But you are beyond that now, as your room is mostly complete and furnished. Thus, y...

You are very right that soffit-mounting (or "flush mounting", if you prefer) changes the sound of the speaker, but it does so in a mostly beneficial way. First, it extends the dimensions of the front baffle considerably in all directions, thus driving down the "baffle step response&qu...

Hi Stef, and Welcome to the forum!

Messages stay in your outbox until the recipient reads them. It's a strange quirk of the software that I use for the forum. So that just means that your message was sent, but the recipient didn't read it yet.
