Hi friends  Razz

I continued with my studiobuild and have some new pics of the progress.
After Thomas words of wisdom i worked on the backwall design of my future controlroom.

Here is a pic of the actual plan.

index.php/fa/12845/0/

I also poured the concrete in the samll recording booth and will finisch it with selfleveling concrete next week.

I also build the first 2 doors for the studio. The are made at 3 sheets of MDF. 1st layer 19mm, 2nd layer 23, 3rd layer 10mm.

Door closing is given by a doorcloser and 5 magnets (each 6kg holding power).

Do you have a great tip for a good sealant (rubber) for the doors?


I´m very happy to be able to work without pain  Razz

Smile

cheers
Constantin

Good to see your health is back!  Smile

What are you going to use as membrane?

For the 2 boxes at the sides i will use 3mm HDF and for the box in the middle i will use a steel plate (1mm or 2mm) not shure until know.

The Steelplate will not resonate over an air cavity, it will be touching a dampening material like basotec.
The 2 Woodpannels will resonate over an airspring, but i will fill some fluffy isover in the box.

I try to tune the woodpannels to about 70hz, and the steelpannel to 45hz.

Good idea?, or waste of time?  Rolling Eyes

cheers

Steel... Hmmm...

Maybe you want to use a product with a resilience more suited for the use.

Something with good density still. You should not have it as the first layer either.

It`s a well tested patent from Frauenhofer institute and called VPR (Verbundplattenresonator)

The trick is to use Basotec as the spring so steel is a perfect Membrane for this purpose.
The spring properties of Basotec are much different than air, so i`m not affraid of using this patent for my room.

And it won`t be the first layer, because my client Sofa is in front of the Resonator  Very Happy ( another big porous (ikea) absorber)



Have you ever heard about these VPR design?

i have good experience with it. no rattle, etc.

Yup, not the Frauenhofer thing, but dampened membranes, sure.

My RPG Modex plate bass traps are steel.

And they're good.

My point is: in Constantin's case, I would not use steel. Unless he has ALL data to make sure it's the right thickness, right type (many to chose from) etc.

I generally don't use steel for membrane, but that's a personal choice. Steel works.

Hi Thomas and thank`s for your advice

Quote:

Isn`t it the mass and the springstiffness which is important for the resonantfreq? It`s quite easy to find out the mass of different steel`s.
Or do you talk about the rigity of the membrane as part of it`s amount of absorbtion?

i would be happy when you point out why you wouldn`t choose steel.
Is HDF a better choice?
i can use also MDF (i can get it for free.

I´m happy for all tips i can get from persons like you, since i trust in your advice.

cheers
Constantin

Update:
The Fan`s for the ventilation system arrived.

For the controlroom i have a EBM Papst W2G130-AA33

They are all important
About steel, they can be very different. They can have the same mass but completely different behaviours. For ex High-strength steel will be very very stiff, and yet have the same mass as a rather elastic type of steel. And so on. So mass/thickness while being a good indicator, is indeed not sufficient...

(Yes, my wife works for the steel industry, no foolin' around with those things at home Very Happy )

I would use a system using air as a spring, with a material with high resilience but still a "hard" material. For ex some thermosplastics (PMMA) are great for that purpose.

If I told you more I'd have to kill you  Very Happy  

But again, steel as you describe it WILL WORK. Just pointing out a few other options out there, which may be more suitable.

One day you must do it in reality  Very Happy
I ask to much !  Razz

Thanks for the Tip with the PMMA, i will have a look at these material.

What do you think about the ventilation dimensions? My research told me, that i`m in a safe area, but the examples/guidlines (DIN EN 13779) i found are based on living rooms and restaurants.

cheers
