dynamike, 16 February 2007Sideshow, just noticed your post. yeah, inner walls on 3 of 4 walls. i'm planning a corner trap on one back corner, there is a door in another, so i'll probably just put…
dynamike, 16 February 2007yeah, i've been researching and reading about all this for the last 2 years. i'm pretty confident in my design and construction. Rod's book and this forum are great. the…
dynamike, 1 March 2007finished bezel on soffits, finished framing/703 of slot resonators. i made some wrong measurements on the bottom half, which is why i had to rig the MDF around the…
dynamike, 5 March 2007framed/703'd the 'sawtooth' slot resonators. also picked out my stain. Minwax Ipswich Pine. . .it looks great on my test piece. I heard that painting the slats is bad,…
dynamike, 5 March 2007fire-proofed my "speaker cloth". got it at a local fabric store for about $6 a yard. it's hard to see, but it looks great. again. . .my vocal booth is really small and…
dynamike, 5 March 2007the soffits are at 30 degrees. actually maybe 31 or a little off of 30. i did a ray tracing and found the exact degree that would be best for me. they probably look more…

dynamike, 5 March 2007your ears need to be in an equilateral triangle with the monitors. in most instances this would mean you are a significant distance away from the back wall (when soffit…
dynamike, 7 March 2007painted my ceiling!!! it looks like i did a terrible job cutting in. . .but i'm putting thin tongue and groove wood on the walls, and some sort of crown or quarter-round…
dynamike, 8 April 2007i skipped a few steps in the pics, but you get the idea. also, there is a chain in some pics. i ended up replacing the chain for simple S hooks. . . the chain made the…
dynamike, 12 April 2007eruss, no the walls behind the slats are not angled. these are low-mid range slot resonators. the room was built a rectangle and the resonators are on an angle to vary…
dynamike, 13 April 2007thanks for the encouragement camistan! sometimes it feels like its taking forever, sometimes it feels like i'm hammerin along. i'm working 98% solo, so it feels nice to…
dynamike, 13 April 2007eruss, maybe i'm misunderstanding the question. the the absorbers to make my RFZ (reflection free zone) ARE Helmholtz-slat resonators, and they ARE next to my soffits.…
dynamike, 23 April 2007the floor and lights/clouds are actually finished now, but i only have pictures of the halfway mark. i'll take some more soon, it looks nasty! Image not preserved:…
dynamike, 23 April 2007eruss, 1. the space was really just a money saver. that slats cost a TON of money. high grade pine is what i used, it was about $3-5 a piece. it added up quick. i'm…

dynamike, 25 April 2007no prob man. you're right, they go from the soffit side 2" out to 8". if i had more width to my room i'd have gone to 12" or so but i was tryin to save inches. as far as…
dynamike, 25 April 2007eruss, i forgot. DO THIS!!!!!!!!!!!! http://johnlsayers.com/phpBB2/viewtopic.php?t=2441 read that post 200 times if thats what it takes to figure out how to do and apply…
dynamike, 26 April 2007thanks Cam, i have 3 answers for you! 1) pine, i guess cuz it was cheapest and i know how it looks stained. never really read anything on wood types for slot resonators.…
bassman, 28 April 2007One common misconception about slats is that the various spacing gives you discrete frequencies of absorption (spearate resonators). This is only true if the cavity…
dynamike, 30 April 2007here's a poor shot of the finished floor. and some pics of the finished walls/ceiling of the vocal booth, including the slot resonator. Image not preserved: IMG_1383.JPG…
dynamike, 1 May 2007haha, boombox. the room sounds good, i can hear when i sing, when i strum an acoustic. . . i know that already. the main concern is the monitoring. . . the specifics of…
dynamike, 24 September 2007finally got a chance to work in here again, the summer was a killer with my job, but i'm ready finish this thing!! installed the light in the vocal booth. looks great.…
dynamike, 30 September 2007just got more speaker cloth from my local fabric store, so i decided to tackle 2/3's of the back wall. the corner trap used up almost all of my scrap 703 to fill it,…
dynamike, 4 October 2007tonight i finished my 'moveable' bass trap for the remaining corner. this needs to move to keep access to the door which leads outside. i didn't finish above the trap…

dynamike, 21 October 2007finished the outside window and wall section. rockwool, sheetrock (4 layers 5/8"), weather grade exterior sheet of something (i have no idea what it is, but i found it…
dynamike, 21 October 2007here's a step by step for my window install. it's a single wall, inside framing, outside brick. it is, however, a really thick wall. . . so i had to frame each window…
dynamike, 27 October 2007doesnt look much different, but i put the second piece of glass in. This one is 3/8 laminate. 8" in from the other piece. roxul'd the top of the super chunk too. ready…
dynamike, 27 October 2007hey Tom! thanks for the words. my build has been a year this October. with 3 months off in the summer because my work (tent/party rental company) is mostly a summer…

dynamike, 9 December 2007roxul'd the closet door in the vocal booth. (you love how i make roxul a verb don't you?) . . . and started the trim everywhere. the vocal booth sounds amazing now. all…
dynamike, 10 December 2007since buying my home a couple years ago, i've actually found a hidden 'talent' within myself. i knew i was good with my hands, but i've never attempted to actually build…

dynamike, 18 December 2007wow, i def should have posted that somewhere. it's in the sketchup file, but that's annoying just to find out dimensions. well, the main room as it stands is about 22' X…
dynamike, 19 December 2007yeah Brad thats fine. if it doesn't work tonight, another night. i'm here. haha. well, as it turns out. . . since i shut down Dynamike Studios a few years ago there is a…
dynamike, 19 December 2007Thanks guys! Brad, i know for sure the top needs to be airtight. If it's not, the sound inside the soffit will bounce around, then sneak out the enclosure somewhere ,…

dynamike, 18 October 2008Hey DrBob! Sorry, i didn't realize you posted, i must have turned of email notifications. Anyway, my resonators are both smaller and bigger than yours. the ones by the…
dynamike, 20 October 2008Shaun, That was a very annoying situation for me. The previous homeowners had a hair salon in that room, so there was a old, now disconnected water pipe running through…

giles117, 17 August 2009Mackie and all manufactures say a lot of things. If you know Theory, you know what will be ideal. My assumption would be that most people do not have the inclination nor…
giles117, 17 August 2009And what are they designed to do??? Move air! That vent does just that. It allows air to MOVE. The 12" gap at the bottom and the top allow that air to be displaced. It's…
dynamike, 1 July 2011Hey Shane, Well, the technical answer is "Not very much." The practical answer is "Enough." It keeps out enough sound that we can listen in the control room without any…
