Question about a soffit
I'm building my room with soffits to encase my speakers.
Question: The soffit is backing to the vocal booth, but inbetween the soffit and the the vocal booth is going to be two walls so no sound can travel into the vocal booth.
Would you recommed this? or would you just get rid of the whole soffit idea?

That is how most of them are built, the 2 leafs dividing the control room from the vocal booth act as the sound trap between the 2 rooms soffits or not.
So in plain english you will be fine so long as you build according to the lessons in this forum double leaf system, etc.....
You would be amazed atr how much sound is trapped between those 2 leafs.

(my speakers have a rear portal for bass)
seems that this could be a problem since FWIK rear ported monitors arent´t the first choice when it comes to soffit mounting. so your friend might be right in a way. otherwise soffit mounting a front ported design would be o.k.!
sorry for the bad news!

ok, ok i´m shutting up already! seems that i´ve been a little quick at drawing the gun - no offense meant!
... i just handed over what i had heard before in this matter. now after reading a little more - especially from barefoot - i do understand better and see that soffiting rear ported monitors does work when there´s taken care!
i´m sure the mackies perform beautifully!

Hey fret, never any offense.
Although I know I can be pretty offensive at times. LOL
I took a risk when we were all debating this last year and said what the heck..Threw mine in the soffits, set the params right and Voila Great sounding speakers. And great translateable mixes.

Yeah that was another guy. i suggested he put 120mm computer fans back there from silenx (cuz they are really really quiet to circulate some air. i ahev not had those problems unless I pumped the monitors at 100+dbA for more than an hour or so.
