Three weeks ago I moved to a country region called Finniss..
Finniss is located approx.100K. south east of Adelaide, near the south coast and it's a wine producing area..
I have a 3 bedroom caretaker cottage situated on an 80 acre vineyard property..
My nearest neighbours are about 500 metres. away to the left, and about 1K.across the river in front of me..So I won't be having any problems with the neighbours when it comes to sound from the theatre.:bigsmile:
The house design has a large living area in open plan style, combining living/dining and kitchen..
Unfortunately, whilst this would have given me a large area for the theatre, every wall has either a large window area or doorways off to the adjoining rooms..
I had to settle for one of the bedrooms for the theatre...the largest being 10'x15' with 7'8" ceilings..
I was very apprehensive about the size of the room, as this is considerably smaller than my previous theatre and I had some concerns that it would not perform as well as previously...
After 2 weeks of moving everything in, it was time to start on the theatre...
Below is what the room looked like..The wall colour was not as nice as the camera shows..
Don't you love the yellow ceiling
The first job was to paint the walls and ceiling, and lay down some carpet..
I had been given some carpet by a friend of mine who was renovating an old house, and the carpet was in very good condition, so I decided to use it in the theatre..
It's a greyish green fleck, so in keeping with the colour, I decided on a dark greyish green for the walls, and a very dark grey for the ceiling..
All the woodwork and door and walls were all painted the same colour..
Now it was time to start on the serious stuff...
First up...bass traps...I used a material called "Supertel". which is the equivalent OC703...
Here you can see the trap material roughly placed in position...
There will be 3 layers, 2" thick in each corner, from floor to ceiling..
More to follow shortly...
