Built it like pros

Post by FPR »

Hey everyone,
Rod Gervais is providing 2 links on page 13:

"Please go to the Thomson Web site at www.courseptr.com/downloads or
my Web site, http://www.rodssoundsolutions.com/ and visit the “Outside
the Box” page. There you’ll fi nd a wide variety of useful tools to help you
on your quest."

Those links are dead! Can anyone please tell me where to get those tools he talks about?

Thanks
Ro

Dang! Even Rod's website is volatile? Anyone knows if he has a homepage i can contact him?
A guy who builds studios for 30 years must be able to keep his website online for the time he sells the book, no? :D

Anyways, the toolkit includes the following files:

Panel Absorber.xls, called “Panel Absorber” on the Web site. A simple
calculator for a narrowband panel trap, written by the author.

Fmsm_calc_RG(2).xls, called “Fmsm Calculator” on the Web site. A
calculator to determine the Mass Air Mass Frequency of various wall
assemblies you might consider constructing, written by Brian Ravnaas.

OC 703-705.xls, called “Absorption Coeffi cients” for OC 703/705 on the
Web site. Simply a spreadsheet of the Owens Corning 703/705 line of
rigid insulation for use with some of the toolbox tools. Please build on
this for your use. Provided by the author.

TLmodeler_mini_RG_(2).xls, called “TL Mini Modeler” on the Web
site. A neat little tool for the analysis of Transmission Loss data in wall
assemblies, written by Brian Ravnaas.

helpTLmodeler_mini[2].pdf, called “TM Mini Modeler Help File” on
the Web site. A help fi le for use with the above mentioned tool.

sabin - RT60 calculator.xls, called “Sabin - RT60 Calculator” on the Web
site. A simple calculator to enable you to determine your future room’s
RT60 empty, as well as when you install treatments. A good tool for
budgeting purposes, written by the author.

HVAC Calculator.xls, called “HVAC Calculator” on the Web site. A
calculator to determine sensible and latent HVAC loads in your studio,
written by the author.

Quadratic Diffusor.xls, called “Quadratic Diffusor” on the Web site.
A calculator for “Well Type Quadratic Diffusors,” ranging to prime 31.
Includes a side view and inverted 3D view of your diffusor, written by
the author.

resonance_toolbox(2).xls, called “Resonance Toolbox” on the Web site.
This is a great little tool by Brian Ravnaas that calculates single panel
isolation values based on mass law, and also includes a modulus and
critical frequency calculator for free panels, a bound panel resonance
calculator, and a multi-layer panel stiffness calculator.

Helmholtz Calculator.xls, called “Helmholtz Calculator” on the Web
site. A simple calculator for slat-type Helmholtz traps, written by the
author.

Room Mode Calculator.xls, called “Room Mode Calculator” on the Web
site. Written by Jeff D. Szymanski, PE, this is probably the best room
mode calculator I have ever worked with. If you want to calculate it, this
tool gives it all to you.

Would be nice to post a link if you have more infos;
Cheers.

Ok, his homepage link is:
http://www.rodolphegervais.com/Rodolphe ... u_son.html

Looks like i didn't type his name correctly the first time. I sent him a mail & will let you guys know if he provides me more infos.

I have to rectify that this link is NOT Rod's Gervais' website but a French homonym.

Sorry for any inconvenience. :oops:

Gleen,
thanks for the link. Looks like you made a search on the website & redirected to the extra files.
For some reason it doesn't work with Opera browser :?: but Firefox works fine.

Cheers.
