I wouldn’t agree with “no point”. Sure, screws may be a compromise, but they don’t 100% render the construction worthless. In my very unlearned experience, this project is a series of compromises. I’d love 100% perfect, but I have to work in the constraints of budget, labor and physics. So what...

In regards to GG, you may be right but GG does at least have lab data. I guess you’re either all in on GG or not. I did a lot of reading of both positive and negative opinions and decided if I was going to build this thing, I would use every device available within the reaches of my budget. In...

Good tip on the mics. A tight dynamic cardioid was what I was thinking. I’m looking forward to finishing this thing so I can experiment with all these different placements. Thanks!

My room build got to the point where I could actually start testing. The initial results are disappointing, but fixable I think. Originally I installed a window AC up on one wall which was inexpensive at $180 and did a great job of cooling the room. But in my tests it was clearly leaking a...

I figure this device in my room size would cost about $20k. I built my room for about $4k. It’s a neat system but just out of my price range.

I’ll have to retract that price comparison. The Esmono is waaayy more money than my home brew and does not appear to have as good STM. Nice device though for someone who needs that.

Right! That does seem similar to what I built. I probably spent about $4k on it which compares to the cost of a ready made device. I don’t have any windows and my door is a self engineered thing that is about the same construction as the room when closed. I haven’t tested it yet because I’m...

I have no gut. ?

I like that. From here, with the actual room ready, it will be step by step. Install the equipment, get some mics, start sound checking, dampen as needed then let the fun begin.

That’s a lot of kit! Actually an encouragement for my project since I have less kit in about the same space. Are your walls absorbent ?

Feet. I wish I had meters.

Thanks for the very useful reply. Yes, I installed a small window AC unit which transforms the room into a walk in cooler, so it will be comfortable. I test fit my kit into the space before even starting this project and it does fit, even on the short side. It’s racked, so that keeps the...

For a very small studio, the only space I had to work with was a nook in my garage about 7x9 with an 8’ ceiling. In this space, I built a room, completely decoupled from the house, constructed of two layers of 5/8” drywall with green glue outside and inside, four layers all together, on 2x4...
