Looking great OZ - ceiling in the drum room came up really well - I won't tell sjoko you pinched his sun fan

Why did you stop above and below the speakers?? what are you going to do with the spaces - apart from storing your screws and nails??

cheers

Looking great, Oz!


I'm curious how deep your cavity is behind the horizontal slots in the drum room, and also about the spacings and the band of freqs you are resonating.

'Cause I'm stuck like a mutha on that stuff right now!


Thanks in advance.

The cavity itself is about 3.5 inches deep... as in not very. So the drum room resonator will be low mids and mids, as the gaps are quite large. The side walls in the control room, on the other hand, have gaps of 2-3 mm, so they're tuned at around 100 hz.

Actually, I stole the idea from my father's backyard fence! THEN I pulled up Sjoko's page and said "ah shit!"


As for the soffits, we haven't stopped yet! The bottom will be acoustic hangars, with a cloth face. The top will be filled with insulation, cloth face again. The cieling will be a "false and sloping" design, hiding yet more hangars.

It's 1 inch rigid fiberglass. It's actually a drop ceiling panel turned backwards!
