Bare room before construction started. Note lowered concrete slab in room to accept floating floor
Wooden floor frame floated on Sylomer reilient pads. On top of this there were multiple layers of plywood with constrained damping layers.
Staggered stud partition with aperture for window. The window was formed from 2 panes of laminated toughened glass, 6mm & 8mm with absorbent reveals.
Medium denisty mineral wool was used to fill all the floor, wall anc ceiling cavities. This insulation is purely to damp the airspace between the existing walls and the new walls which in this case were made from multiple layers of high density plasterboard with constrained damping layers.
Corner low frequency absorbers constructed from high density mineral fibre and finished with flame retardant fabric covered frames.
Finished with the fabric.
This particular studio had an airlock built seperately from the main rooms. Here you can see the seal between the airlock and the control room at the door frame. This photograph was prior to fitting a second set of seals on the door stops.
The finished room seen from the live room. the live room had further layers of plywood and plasterboard on the floor and ceiling to provide seperation between the two rooms. The unit on the wall is a headphone amplifier. The door was made of 2 x 18mm plywood layers, 1 x 18mm MDF layer and 1 x 25mm MDF layer all sandwiched with mass loaded vinyl between them.
The finished control room with absorber panels, high level mains strips and tie-line panels.
Another corner absorber with custom built cabinet and ventilation controls. the ventilation was designed to give a very low noise level but with sufficient ventilation for the rooms.
Another shot of the live room. the carpet and wooden floors give a small degree of acoustic flexibility.
