Guess I should take this one since those are my panels :-) If you're just looking to knock down the liveness of a room, put them anywhere. absorption is absorption. If you're dealing with flutter echoes, put them on the problems walls with no two panels across from one another. I've read to...

I didn't mean to imply that acrylic is not flexible- I was mainly making the point that perhaps there is not a "one size fits all " here and that all have valid uses. I'm honestly not that schooled on how the acrylic compares to silicone in terms of remaining flexible but I do know from using it...

With all the discussions of floating floors and resilient walls on this site, it would seem to me that the type of caulking would be dictated by it's intended use. Surely there are gaps to be filled that require a caulk that remains very flexible ( like silicon) such as between two movable...

Unless $$ is no object, regular insulation is sufficient in both cases. And if that's an external wall , make sure you have a vapor barrier beneath the drywall.

and here's a photo of the weatherstripping slot in the trim. It's probably basic carpentry stuff, but I'd always used the stick on stuff at HD and never seen how the real stuff goes in.

The stuff they sell at HD is pretty limited. I just got some Therma Tru doors and was surprised at the weatherstripping they come with. A pretty tight fit, so I ended up having my builder order another few sets for the studio doors. If your door trim has a weatherstriping slot around the...

pretty exciting stuff! Looking good.

Get a volt meter and check the thru wall snake to make sure you haven't inadvertently reversed the 1+ 3 pins on one end of your snake. it's not that hard to make this mistake when soldering because the pin layout of the 1+3 pins are reversed on the male and female ends -that is, as you look...

wow, that's a wild looking room and a lesson in acoustic treatment. How did it sound in there John?

Joe, by sound booth do you mean a vocal booth-or are you making this as a control/ mixing room? If you have any height to work with at all, I'd make the ceiling pitched- even in any random way, it would help reduce the "squareness" of this room

been moving the computer into my new recording space so I've been offline awhile... but to follow up on this- Blue- markertech does make larger wallplates with engraving as well, but you have to call or email their custom engraving shop through their website for quotes. I think they were a bit...

Thanks for the illustration John. I'm fairly new to this helmholtz thing. I have yet to build one. For the sake of discourse, my first net search came up with loads of stuff about Mr Helmholtz, and it often refers to volume. His early resonators appear to have been used for identifying...

So, about this helmholtz stuff- (I'm trying to understand here too) I know the Helmholtz calculators use depth of the box in it's measurements and probably assumes it is for a square box, but isn't how an HR works based rather on the VOLUME of the container in relation to the size of the slots...

Conquestsound.com 1-800-323-7671 Monee, Ilinois You gotta either find a local dealer to order from them, or it's pretty easy to become a "dealer" so you can buy direct from them. I'm a dealer now :-) They also sell snake/ mic cabling, connectors, etc at good prices. Lemme know if I can help...

Some simple things to consider about floating floors, especially if you're putting hardwood on top. (Hindsight speaking here...) Obviously they need to float. seems simple enough, but realize that NO points of the floor should touch the walls, trim work, baseboard heating system, etc. or...

And here's the other plate..

Here are a couple of my wallplates. They mount into standard wall boxes, and the snake pigtail ends come up into a floor panel with a hatch top under my desk. These were custom made and engraved by Conquest Sound. Very Slick. I think the smaller plate was around 40$ and the larger $85 with...

and they say divorce is hardest on the kids...

John, you may be right about that. And while I will agree that I hear a slight shortening of the reverbs, I mainly appreciate the reduction of the flutter echoes, Putting that much 703 on the walls may have a similar effect of taming the echoes, but from experience I've found it can also taint...

this is a pretty cool link of a sound company experimenting with using 1/2 round sonar tubes for diffusion and to tame flutter echo problems. Some before and after sound bytes of their tests. Interesting stuff. May be useful for some of you newbies who are not quite sure what flutter echo is...
