My wife finally parted with a portion of her terrace garden and let me build a home theater.
First off all I find myself very fortunate to build a room that can be dedicated to music listening and watching movies. The room will be 3.96 meters wide, 7.38 meters long and a height of 2.7 meters. So with a little more than 29 m2 it's not a big room at all.
We live in a duplex penthouse (5th & 6th floors with terrace rights). So, traditional construction methods are a bit difficult. I plan to take the prefab route.
Started laying of electrical, speaker and signal cables. The cabling work is being carried out by a local guy and someone from my work giving him a hand.
To reduce hum and noise I want to install a dedicated line with only a single ground from the audio / home theater system to the electrical service panel. Don’t want to attach anything other than the A/ V system to this special dedicated line.
Expecting the result to be noise and hum free power with a 'deep black background'.
By this stage of the project, I have already identified the following :
Placement of all speakers
Placement of A/V components
Placement of video source
Lighting needs
Possible future enhancements
Thermal Insulation & Acoustic Treatment
BTW I have provided a frame also…for supporting the screen.
I will try and post pics if there's interest...as soon as i work out how to do it....!!
I have all the kit i need already for this…mix of new and from old lounge... not top end by any means...but works for me...
Framing work completed and AV cabinet in place…cabling almost done but for one sub signal cable. Got 30 Rock wool bags delivered yesterday.
There was a leak from one point of the slab joint side…. getting the pressure grouting done today.
Wow, I just went through you're pics, it's coming along nicely.
Can't Waite for the finished result, do you have the audio yet or what you plan on using?
As of now for room modes evaluation, I will be using Dali concept 2 front mains, Dali concept center, Dali concept 1 as surrounds... and SVS 20-39 PC Plus Cylinder Sub woofer.
Got few sample seats today... my folks liked the red one, the design part of it and not the fabric though. Actually it is wider by 2” and comfortable than the other two.
Decided to order seven seats with individual arm rests… and different cloth material which I have to select.
Slow progress, but progress nonetheless. Tough to get things done when you are on carpenter’s schedule, but I'm grinding along. Got most of the ceiling done, preparing bass traps and acoustic panels…
Rockinsul Acoustic 6 appears to be the Rockwool that you would use as your acoustic material..
I was curious about that roll of mesh material that your placing on the back of the acoustic panels..
The roll is woven wire mesh in a square pattern... this wire mesh is provided to retain the acoustic material
in the wooden frame, and the front is covered with acoustically transparent cloth.
What is that mesh normally used for over there? In the photos where it's fitted it looks like a flyscreen material, but the closeup looks to be a heavier mesh..:scratch:
MARKET GRADE WOVEN WIRE CLOTH
Wire Mesh, also known as Wire Cloth, is amazingly versatile and is easily adapted to almost any application. Available in a wide selection of woven and welded wire mesh products with various mesh sizes, openings, thicknesses, and materials.
Thanks for the info..Do you see any benefit in using that mesh instead of an open weave cloth backing?
