EvLoutonian, 23 July 2012Hi Everyone. Well, I have a studio build underway.. but I need to get some feedback and :idea: input from some more knowledgeable and experienced folk than myself on…
EvLoutonian, 23 July 2012So, first up... This is the space that will be available for the two spaces: LIVE ROOM & CONTROL ROOM. The northern end space (opening onto a deck) is already allocated…
EvLoutonian, 23 July 2012Now, something important to mention immediately, is that the three new walls are to be glazed floor to ceiling, with over three metres of glass (!) I know this is…
EvLoutonian, 23 July 2012Just to complete the picture.. Here are the north & south elevations, showing the profile of the house in each direction, including the addition of the new studio space…
EvLoutonian, 23 July 2012My main QUESTION though, running through my mind daily, is which way to orientate the control room. I had initially planned to have the monitors set up in front of the…
EvLoutonian, 23 July 2012Here are another couple of overhead illustrations of these two options, to make it clear the parameters of layout A vs B. Firstly, "A": (running along one side of the…
EvLoutonian, 24 July 2012.. Been trying to get my out-of-control SKETCHUP file down from 13MB (!) to under 500kb's.. It's nearly there now, after finally finding the purge function and deleting…
EvLoutonian, 24 July 2012From above: Image not preserved: EvanStudio_074 (Basic layout EMPTY)750pix.jpg You can see the services pipes just off-centre at the back of the control room. And also,…
EvLoutonian, 24 July 2012Purged the SketchUp file, so here it is! File not preserved: EvanStudio_076 (All Purged).skp Let me know if it works for you. Please lend any thoughts on how you would…
Soundman2020, 24 July 2012Hi Evan, and Welcome to the forum! :) What? Only 3AM? That's way too early for a studio builder! You need to be up ALL night to do it properly! :) Anyway, some random…
EvLoutonian, 27 July 2012Thanks so much, Stuart and Anthony! ( ~ and hi everyone else! ~ ) Anthony, I'm definitely keen to meet up and check out your space - absolutely! I'm still processing the…
EvLoutonian, 27 July 2012Here's another angle of the newer control room layout: {trying to get away from the 4.5 x 4.5 dimensions of the earlier layouts} Image not preserved: EvanStudio_084…
EvLoutonian, 28 July 2012Just to give some context to the project, I'll post some images of where we're up to now, starting from the beginning.. Here's the house, viewed from the front driveway…
EvLoutonian, 28 July 2012And here we are now, since the slab was poured in June: (viewed from the kitchenette, looking back through the control room area towards the live room at the other end)…
EvLoutonian, 6 August 2012OK, I've gone back to my books, and back and forth across all the orientations I can think of for the control room, and I think this is probably the best solution: Image…
EvLoutonian, 8 August 2012Here are a couple more wide-angle images of what I mean, showing each corner section sort of "double trapped", to try to deal with the brick nib wall extending into the…
EvLoutonian, 9 August 2012Thanks Stuart! I did wonder about building a soffit mount arrangement into this room - partly just as a way of dealing with the pillar in that right corner, and also…
Soundman2020, 9 August 2012I'm not sure what you mean by "dedicated monitors". You can soffit mount pretty much any monitor, as long as it is not rear-ported/side ported, and as long as you have…
EvLoutonian, 9 August 2012OK - This is all very interesting.. Thanks again for the further information, Stuart. You make it sound, at least potentially, a lot simpler than what my research seemed…
EvLoutonian, 9 August 2012INTERDYN MODEL 60 (original brochure info) A 3-way system using four drive units, the Interdyn Model 60 employs two 25 cm bass units, an oval mid-range speaker, and a…
Soundman2020, 14 August 2012"INTERDYN MODEL 60". I can't fine any more info on those, and I think this is a first: Google comes up with precisely ONE hit when searching for that phrase, and that…

EvLoutonian, 14 August 2012I had a pretty good listen to these speakers last night, on a variety of material, & I think they may actually be worth installing. I'm just not sure there's quite…
EvLoutonian, 26 August 2012OK, I've been continually researching.. and looking to move forward into the next phase of construction - ceiling and walls. One tricky thing to figure out at this point…
EvLoutonian, 30 August 2012Not being too sure if that front wall arrangement that I've been working on is altogether just a bit too problematic / overly complicated, I'm thinking perhaps the best…
EvLoutonian, 31 August 2012Thanks once again, Stuart. What I had in mind at this stage is to hang a heavy curtain across the back wall (say 1 foot out from the glass wall & double doors) and then…
EvLoutonian, 11 June 2013OK, well, we have the bulk of the space constructed now.. It's been a while since updates. I'm really happy how it's all come together - thrilled, actually. (I'll post…
