Thanks for the nice comments, I appreciate and it motivates me.
I have started the back CR soffit units today. I guess everything is long hard work in studio built...
I have decided to mount the Events 2020 bas in the rear and buy a smaller set for near field on the console, don't know which yet...
The front CR was tricky as I needed to respect exact angles in the 3 axis. I found that by starting with zero degrees on the y axis
using a four foot level and marking the ceiling is easier and more precise to achieve the 78 degrees elevation requested for front speaker tilt. Always measure everything two or tree times... The back speakers are easier as they are vertical.
Thanks again,
Marc
Hi everyone, just finished the back end speakers soffit. It went great.
The corner drum room will have a two to four inches deeper wall unit for low frequencies...
Next, wall units..
Marc
Hi everyone,
I just finished the seven wall units installation, as per John design. Light black fabric layer behind the slot.
Still have to stain them and varnish. Well, this is still lot of work... I am slowly getting to the finish line. : )
The drum room / CR drywall's are finished, just the front entry to finish third layer.
After that, painting and sliding doors installation.
Thanks for looking,
Marc
Hi everyone,
Just a quick note to let you all know I am not dead (yet) and what I am up to.
I have almost finished the CR, the clouds are all up installed in both CR and drum room. Painting is finished.
Flooring is done in the CR. I am working the drum room floor this week.
It is looking really really nice.
Also, i did some acoustic guitar (my jumbo Guild guitar) in the CR last week end. Really balanced, full and detailed sound. Never heard this guitar so nicely sounding before.
So, I am a happy camper so far.
Should be done in couple months...
Oh, and I will take some good photo shots for you.
Best Regards,
Marc
Today's quick photo's,
I shall start the wiring soon. Air conditioning is up and running. I need to address vibrations from the outside AC pump. Probably better vibration dampers.
Vocal booth windows on order. I will have a pro photographer take some shots when completed.
Sounds good too.

Hey Hey, I have to admit I am 99.9% finished. The console is built, cabling is finished (I spend all of 2 months soldering the 8 switchcraft patchbays, all fully normalized) mogami / belden cables. The MCI tape machine is hooked up to a 96 point TT Bittree patchbay, supposed to perform a skype alignment with Chris Mara from no brainer audio soon. These tape machines sound so punchy on everything I throw at it, excellent. Everything is accessible from seating position. The console (D&R 4K Mk2) has been cleaned and overall, console power supply also needs T&C since the phantom supply is not ok and a bit of hum 60 Hz (bad regulators probably). I had to get a master clock (Lucid SSG192) to sync up everything and to supply blackburst for SMPTE striping to tape, also added a JL Cooper PPS-2 for smpte / MTC to computer. I like the place quite a lot and receiving lots of great comments. And yes, I will have some nice photo's taken by a photographer soon... Thanks again !
Naaaah! Not true!!!! You know what they say here, Marc: "No pics means it didn't happen". So until we see the pics, .... :)
Seriously, your text description is making me drool already... can't wait to see the photos!

Marc,
The pictures you posted show excellent attention to detail, consistent use of material/color, man that is a nice, nice looking job.
Thanks for sharing,
It looks pretty good, John! Not surprisingly.... :)
I do love the slotted traps: I finally figured out how those things work and how to tune them, but don't worry, John: I won't be spilling the beans on that! :) Another amazing John Sayers invention, in another amazing John Sayers studio.
