I began the 3D today and I'm begininning to get very excited seeing it come together!!
Also starting to see more and more details that I had not gotten to yet...which means I will have MANY more questions soon...I will try to find the answers on my own the best that I can before I post with an update. This next phase is even more exciting than I had anticipated!
Cool! That helps me understand why those would be useful haha.Basically a couple of metal brackets joined by a rubber decoupler in the middle. You attach one side to the top of your isolated wall, and the other side to your original structure. Provides structural support. It keeps the wall more stable mechanically, but isolated acoustically.
That's mainly why I went with 2x6's...so I could go with 24" OC and reep the low end isolation benefits!Probably a good idea. You could even ask him about moving to 24" OC, instead of 16" OC: That might be an option.
Ok cool, well to answer your question then.. that particular ray is 51.7º off axis from the center point of the monitor. Based on your explanation, I feel like I'm ok to move forward with this control room design. Yea???Well, "Bigger is better", as they say, but eventually you get to the point of diminishing returns, or the point where you are compromising something else so seriously that it makes no sense.
Also, think of this: How far off-axis is the ray that gets closest to your head? Trace it back, and see how much of an angle that makes, as compared to the acoustic axis of the speaker. If we are talking about being 5° or 10° off-axis, then I'd try to improve that a bit. But if we are talking about 75° off axis, then forget it!
However, could you take a look at the polar plots I provided for my Event ASP8's? They seem to radiate at 90º all the way up to about 5000Hz however I don't really know if I'm interpreting the diagram correctly. If that is the case, should I be more concerned with the ray being that close (~1'3") to the mix position as it passes by?
Sorry to keep going on this...it's just really hard to find answers on this topic (we need a sticky called "Rules and Methods of a True RFZ" on this forum! haha).
Yea! I have looked into some Adam's and even listened to a pair of the A7's which were nice but didn't really sound like an upgrade from my ASP8's ...I do want to hear the A77X though...they look comprable to the Focal Twin in terms of size anyways ( ). I just want to make sure that whatever I get is a substantial increase in performance over my Event's (which I really do like a lot). I will keep searching!Have you looked at Adam's? Big fan.
Hahaha yea definitely want to get the ball rolling before then.I've heard that that happens to some people as they "pass over to the other side".... But you probably don't want to wait that long to build your studio!
Thanks a ton man.. as always
