So I'm preparing to move on to acoustic treatment now. I'm excited and nervous about this stage! My understanding is basic, so I'd love a little advice here please. I followed Stuarts REW guide and took a couple of "before treatment" measurements - one with the speakers 60cm front the fron...

Oh wow, yes that's a very cool design! I'm surprised that it isn't super wobbly seeing as its essentially a sheet of ply floating on a piece of insulation. Amazing, I will definitely try this for my drums and amps!

Thanks Glenn, a decoupled platform sounds like a good place to start.
Is it as simple as using a thick sheet of flooring with rubber feet?
Is there a risk of creating a resonance between the platform and the slab?

Hi folks, it's been a while since my last update but plenty has happened. Construction is now essentially finished, and I'm preparing to move onto acoustic treatment! Yay :yahoo: Ive moved my drums and a bit of gear in and am happy to report that the Transmission Loss is exactly what I had hoped for...

I found this product that is designed as a lining to prevent fibre fall from glasswool and polyester insulation, and its only $1.60 per metre so super affordable. From its look and description, it appears to be the same type of meterial as the Matt Black Facing that Bradford use on their DuctLiners....

I suspect I already know the answer, but can i use Bonded Polyester Fibre safely in the vents? I happen to have a bunch of this stuff laying around. It doesn't have any loose fibres, and it seems to be non flammable. However I don't know whats it absorptive properties are like, and perhaps it would ...

I'm having a real hard time locating anyone who has carries any of these products, and who is willing to sell me a small amount. I only need about 15m2 The Knauff Climacoustic is unfortunately not available, anymore. In fact it seems the web page has been taken down since my enquiry! :lol: The Fletc...

Oh wow, this makes so much sense! I could even mount some downlights in there as well. I think I feel confident to move ahead now! :yahoo: One more question - Whats your thoughts on using a fan on both the intake and exhaust vents, vs just having one on the intake? I've heard advice that using two f...

That's brilliant thanks Glenn.

So if the sofits are mounted inside the room ( ie beneath your inner leaf cieling), I imaging you also stuff them with absorption and finish with stretched fabric to provide bass trapping?

I'm looking at a couple of different Duct Liner products for lining the inside of the silencers. Would any of these be suitable? Any reason to choose one over the other?

Thanks Glenn. Im not 100% sure what you mean by a plenum, but I'm imagining some type of box that the registers are attached to, large enough to slow the air down significantly so it just kind of falls out of the register silently? And if I use one of those, then my silencer can just be the same siz...

So, its time to revisit the dreaded HVAC issue again :( :x After struggling with this part of the design for soooo long I'm hoping to finally move on. But after the effort Ive gone to in order to isolate as much sound as possible, I really dont want to mess it all up here!! For the below calculation...

6601 Graeme The primary issues with yellowtongue and moisture are the edges and screw/nail penetrations. If you have a well installed moisture wrap and the fibre cement outer is well sealed the only other concern I'd have is moisture coming up from the bottom. If you have that covered, you've taken...

6574 I made an access hatch in a ceiling for changing air filters. There may be easier ways to achieve this, but it worked. I used 8 screws and a gasket to ensure it was airtight. Details here: viewtopic.php?p=3833#p3833 Thanks Jen, that's super helpful! 6200 Also, you didn't' mention any insulatio...

OK, so I place a couple of these inside the actual wall cavity (not the window cavity) and build access panels so I can change them from time to time. Do you have any examples of how to build these panels so that I don't compromise my air-tight seal?
