Listening Room: Achieving Good Acoustics with Absorbers, Resonators, and Diffusers

6508 instead of continuing with absorbers, to move towards Helmholtz resonators. But what do I tune them to? Helmholtz resonators are notoriously hard to tune. It can be done, of course, but it isn't easy to get right. Small dimension deviations can tune it far enough off from where it should be, a...

Ive Been Planning This Garage Studio for 10 Years!

6580 i disagree with Rod on this, bridging isolation walls reduces the isolation. Absolutely agree with Glenn here! (and thus, also disagree with Rod...) Flanking is a very real thing, and can greatly reduce isolation. When I teach seminars on this (in person), there's a simple demonstration to sho...

Private studio in Slovakia

6446 Thank you, Stuart, I take that as an encouraging endorsement from you. I've used both the KH310's and the KH750's on several projects, and they are great. Neumann was very smart to not change anything but the logo on the old K+H line, then continue developing in the same direction as before, w...

6443 agreeing to change the front wall to include flush-mounted Neumann KH310 monitors and KH750 subs That's a very, very smart move! Great set of speakers, with great possibilities. Looking forward to seeing that happen! :thu: And great to see you getting back into "studio build" mode! -...

website issues

Right! There's been some DoS attacks on the server lately (Syn floods mostly, but others too), and it protects itself by going offline for a brief time, then coming back up again, automatically. But sometimes the damage is already done (damn DoS bots!!), and it can't come up again fully, so it needs...

Attic Shaped Studio

6435 Would it be acceptable to make another small hole on the back of the speaker boxes to provide easy access to this without having to remove the entire speaker from the box? Definitely! In fact, don't make the hole small: make it BIG. That rear panel can end up looking like Frankenstein's Swiss ...

Looks good, Jennifer! I'd suggest a couple of things. As Glenn mentioned, it really is best to use resilient isolation pads around the speakers. I always use Sorbothane for that. Pads of their softest material, cut to the right size, positioned all around the speaker (under, over, both sides). Note:...

Got a quote for baffle box lining from Acoustical surfaces $700 for MT and $800 in ship wow. :shock: That does sound rather steep! How many square meters would you get for that prices? Duct liner isn't cheap, but certainly not THAT expensive, unless you are ordering a rather large amount. There are...

Relocating Plate Amplifier from powered / active monitors

Congratulations! That's great news. You are seeing the benefit of flush mounting (soffit mounting)... :thu: Even modest speakers sound much better when you do that (and good speakers like yours benefit even more!), since you eliminate many of the issues that plague free-standing speakers on pedestal...

Single door in a two-leaf wall construction

Hi there, and Welcome to the forum! :thu: :) You are correct in your assessment: putting a single door in a 2-leaf wall does indeed reduce isolation. Rod Gervais outlines a method that he uses for doing that, but it creates a flanking path between the two leaves, because he joins the two jambs with ...

Stuart's Rules for Soffits / Flush mounting speakers

Subwoofers serve two purposes. One is to extend the bass range, and that's usually what people think of when talking about subs. But they can also be used to deal with problematic acoustic issues in the room itself. We did both here. You can use a sub to cancel out certain acoustic problems, as long...
