Surely my plan looks very funny because I just took someone else's design and applied it to my room, so I would really appreciate any help with thisĪnd now the second version of the plan. What if you hang a similar broadband absorber 25-30 cm thick on it, will it work? The thickness of the ceiling absorber is also obtained from John's calculator. I am also very concerned about the ceiling. Also I will probably need some diffusion, which I am planning to do with wood slats over the decorative absorbent fabric. I got these values in John Brandt's calculator for room modes, but there is probably something to clarify here. Probably I am very wrong in this, but I thought that if I just increase their depth, then I would get some absorption Therefore, I planned 30 cm absorbers on the side walls, and 70 cm absorbers at the back. As a basis for broadband absorbers, I took a design by John Brandt. Instead, I thought I could make the sound absorption thicker. Since I do not need powerful soundproofing, I thought that I should not build a room in a room.

At least I know that the frame and the front wall should be as heavy and strong as possible I don't really understand all the details of this yet, but I hope I can figure it out. Many people advise me to make them out of bricks or not to do them at all, but reading yours and other forums, I see that you can do this with a wooden frame. Therefore, any variant of the control room provides for soffits. I have long dreamed of flush mounting my genelecs. They are quite good at soundproofing, it seems that this is what I need. A plastic door with double glazing is planned in this wall, one is marked on the plan, but in general there is an idea to put two of them opposite each other on both sides of the wall. In theory, I can replace drywall with something else, if it gives any advantages. For this I assume a 20 cm wall with two layers of plasterboard on both sides, each 12.5 mm thick.
#SOUND CONTROL ROOM PC#
To begin with, I separated part of the room in order to accommodate my PC and some other auxiliary devices that I need, but make unnecessary noise. Advise on mufflers, do you need those big heavy boxes that Stuart designs beautifully, or you can get by with conventional mufflers like this. The house is planned to have centralized ventilation with heat recovery, so the control room will have both fresh air intake and dirty air intake. In principle, nothing bothers me here, but I would like to ask how critical it is for sound insulation that one wall is slightly different in structure and width from the other three? This wall is not adjacent to living and noisy rooms, so maybe this is not a problem? Also at this stage, I can replace the inner wall cladding with a thicker drywall or other material if this helps to slightly improve the sound insulation.

From the inside, the ceiling is sheathed with two layers of 12.5 mm drywall. The structure of the ceiling will consist of 400 mm I-beams filled with mineral insulation with a density of 35 kg / m3, on top of which there will be an operating roof covering with decking. There will be no other rooms above the room, but there will be a flat, exploited roof, where we will sometimes gather with our family. Concrete floor with built-in water heating. In general, the dimensions of the entire room are 5.25x3.40x2.75. I drew the future outlines of the room and the structure of the walls. Although I can now change the area of the future control room, I would not like to do this for various reasons.

The house will be built on a concrete foundation and timber frame technology. Therefore, the room will have three outer walls and one inner wall with the house. The control room is planned to be on the side of the house, according to the plan there should have been a garage. I don't need the best control room on Earth, but I would like a decent, acoustically comfortable room to work with.

I want to focus on the sound absorption in the room. The house will be located in the countryside, there are no noisy roads and objects nearby (at the moment ), very quiet and there are few people around I do not need to live record anything, so I do not need significant sound insulation, 40-45 db would be enough for me (however, I may be wrong in my assessment). My speakers are Geneleс 1037 and ATC SCM20. I usually work with a loudness level of 75-80 dB SPL. I've been producing music for 20 years, arranging, mixing. At the moment I am trying to plan a control room in my house. I have been reading this forum for many days and have learned a lot from all of your topics. Thank you very much for taking the time to do this. Hello! First of all, I would like to express my gratitude to Stuart for the large amount of useful information.
