carsten_d, 6 January 2009Hello folks. -> edit: it's construction time and it starts here (-> Questions at the bottom of this post =) I introduced myself a couple of days ago but due to the fact…
carsten_d, 9 January 2009Oh well :( , maybe i should ask in a different way... My recording room will be 17m². Hight will be 3.1 to 2.7m. Exactly measured that sums up to 50m³. Now my plan is to…
carsten_d, 9 January 2009Stuart, thanks a lot for your kind words. Yes, I've read Rod's book (not only once) but unfortunately he's true to his words: "...you don't have to deal with math at…
carsten_d, 10 January 2009Allrighta, I recovered some links and want to share my thoughts... Back to my room. Start with calculations: area: 17 m² = 183 sf volume: 50 m³ = 1765 cf refresh rate/h…

carsten_d, 1 September 2009well ladys and gents, I'm still alive and have to say: building a studio IS PITA! but I guess you all know what I'm talking 'bout. anyways. I'm glad that I…
carsten_d, 1 September 2009:) they are... I made the doors by myself. 3 layers MDF (19mm - 16mm - 16mm) where the hinges are i glued hardwood - beechwood - trapezes (dovetails) in (pics are @…
carsten_d, 2 September 2009howdy! here are some pics of my door leaf construction. the main leaf consists of 3 leaves of MDF (19mm/16mm/16mm - as mentioned above). I chose 19mm for the first leaf…
carsten_d, 17 September 2009thanks TheFrenchVoice. yeah. indeed. researched A LOT and now my brain feels like irish stew. paul woodlock used hard wood inserts in his doors. Ro used plywood. and I…
carsten_d, 17 September 2009now I got it. I did it because of both :) I'm not a carpenter but have a little experience in working with wood so I knew by some experience and of course by reading…
carsten_d, 22 September 2009indeed. it is. but i tell you: for me it was a lot of work to install the hinges (i'm not a carpenter...). milling. milling. milling. front.JPG Image not preserved:…

carsten_d, 22 September 2009hey mates, a couple of minutes ago I tested for the first time the result of my work with a SPL meter. I measured with dbC. (or is it 'in' dbC???) the ambient noise…

carsten_d, 3 November 2009hello all, as you can see on this sketchup shot my control room design needs some helpful hands. Image not preserved: ctrl-room 700px.png on the left there is a big…
carsten_d, 11 November 2009soffit/flush mounting...general question are there two different methods to do this? John's design look like there's no decoupling between the structure and the speaker…
carsten_d, 27 November 2009oooooooookey... i did some homeworks. still reading and reading and reading Alton Everest' master handbook of acoustics @xSpace: sorry, but this statement isn't correct!…
Ro, 27 November 2009Hang on there, Carsten. I know the feeling... circles and stuff. It's complicated stuff sometimes, esp when it's desicion time. are you on a tight schedule? If not, take…
carsten_d, 27 November 2009ro. good to hear...erm...read your words. thank you! man, your first kiddo must be still in it's swaddling clothes... congrats! gottverdammich da mutten jouw in acht…
carsten_d, 27 November 2009brien, you're right. of course. sometimes i get the urge to be a wisenheimer, a smart ass. =) 10-6 is in fact 4 but the "6" was relative and i thought it might be clever…
carsten_d, 3 February 2010howdy! to make it short: I'm struggling with my control room layout. has anyone of you an opinion about this layout? speaker would be soffit mounted in an 45° angle. the…
carsten_d, 5 February 2010thank you both for your input. @Phybeau: nope. but I think a friend of mine has a copy. I'll ask him. one reason is that it'd be a lot easyer to maintain symmetry. when…
carsten_d, 7 February 2010hello. I revised my plans and want to share my thoughts. comments are verrry welcome. but first I want to show you some construction pics. a brief outline of before and…
carsten_d, 7 February 2010again a baffle pic Image not preserved: IMG_7636.jpg the intake "duct" is also seperated to the pipes case. Image not preserved: IMG_7647.jpg 1st layer is done.…
carsten_d, 7 February 2010now to the plan: actually i looked for a design facing to the big window (reasons see above). I changed my mind again and this is where I'm at right now: speaker (ADAM…
carsten_d, 7 February 2010Mika, thanks for the advice! my initial plans were without a new floor but I thought it might help to reduce the (walking sound e.g.) transmission through it which is…

carsten_d, 7 February 2010:oops: thank you phybeau. I'm doing my best. 38% is in my design (right now) relative close to the 3rd axial mode (when I'm getting this modal stuff right). as you can…
carsten_d, 8 February 2010Hey Phybeau, hehe...noooo way. I don't like carpet. I will buy a pack of cheapo uargh laminate and an underlayment just for the sake of trial and error. this will cost…
carsten_d, 8 February 2010me again... :roll: I was wrong with my assumption that 38% is close to the 3rd axial mode...it's close to the 4th axial mode. It would be nice if someone with more…
Soundman2020, 8 February 2010That should work reasonably well, but you'll probably need more than just 2 layers of wood in there: By "particle board", I guess you mean MDF? You need it as dense as…
carsten_d, 8 February 2010thank you stuart, what a great idea to build adjustable soffits :idea: I guess I should re-read your insanity-thread. Sorry, my thread's a little messed up (and also my…
carsten_d, 9 February 2010me again... :oops: will building a soffit wall for flush mount speakers alter the room modes especially in front of the soffit wall? as you can see in the sketch the…
Soundman2020, 9 February 2010I don't think it will change very much at all, since I recall reading that a speaker in a soffit will theoretically excite ALL modes that terminate on that panel, not…
carsten_d, 9 February 2010hmm, I was refering to - or rather had in mind - the drawing in f. alton everest's master handbook of acoustics (fourth edition) page: 283, figure 13-10, 13-11. it's…
Soundman2020, 9 February 2010I agree that it sure will change the modal pattern in the room: No doubt about that, I reckon. But the speaker will still excite ALL the modes that terminate on the…
carsten_d, 9 February 2010stuart. I know what you mean and I agree. modes are modes and will stay modes. but I think I'm not able to properly articulate my thoughts. last attempt and for the sake…
carsten_d, 7 June 2010hey folks, just a short one: I'm alive and building... the ctrl room looks great and sounds good. a little too dead imo. but i'm not finished at all...so let's hear what…
carsten_d, 7 June 2010me again =) i found some older piccis. enjoy. don't forget to read my question in my previous post concerning slot resonator in rear wall covered with fabric... thanki…

carsten_d, 12 June 2010andre, ah...ok. canadian not french. i have to admit that my lack of georaphy led me to the assumption ontario might be in the "french part" of canada. thank wikipedia!…
carsten_d, 12 June 2010back to business... here is a before and after comparison. topic: slot resonator @ rear wall to tame a 120 hz boost @ listening position (see a couple of posts before)…
carsten_d, 15 September 2010hellllllllloooooh dear ladies & gents! still alive. still building. and now i can finally see some light at the end of the tunnel =) just a short one. just some piccis.…
carsten_d, 16 September 2010wow :oops: thanks dear friends! :idea: illumination? right now I'm struggling about this topic... halogen bulbs will become very hot. LED is still very expensive.…
carsten_d, 16 September 2010:lol: sounds good! I ordered this afternoon 10 GU10 sockets and 10 cheapo LED spots (230V) from Reichelt...just for trial & error. I guess this is exactly what you were…
carsten_d, 14 December 2010dear companions, I'm really glad to tell you that I'm almost finished! a few things need to be done, I guess a few things will never be done =) time to start learning!…
