audionaut, 26 September 2007Hello all. Locals may have seen my thread in the "Hookups" section of the Tape Op forum. We are building out a space in downtown Chicago's west loop area. I'd be happy…
audionaut, 27 September 20078:30 Thursday morning, back for more punishment! Should finish filling up the superchunks in the corners with rock wool. Hope to get our carpenter in here to finish up…
audionaut, 27 September 2007I expected to get a bit more done today, but I guess that's how studio construction goes when you're the only one that shows up! I hate dealing with insulation... such a…
audionaut, 30 September 2007Here's a pic of the fabric that we've already got. I believe the lighter one is called "chart house"... Any opinion on these? We're still going out on Monday to look for…

audionaut, 25 October 2007Wood panels in CR almost done. Still need to finish up some wiring & tune the room before adding final fabric and trim. Here's a pic of our new preamps in a low slant…
audionaut, 30 October 2007Almost ready to start tuning the room. There's room for extra diffusion or absorption behind most of the framing, so that stays open until we're happy with the sound.…
audionaut, 8 November 2007The Mains are in the control room and we're just about tuned up!!! I'm a little bit surprised at the clarity and relatively flat response (+/- 3db 32hz-12K @ 88db) we…
audionaut, 8 November 2007Here's a quick pic of the work in progress. Please pardon our dust, stray wires & lack of trim. External image, not preserved — original:…
