I thought about my house not so long ago, now people are working on plans, and I wanted to do the design already. Additional noise reduction, I wanted a panoramic window, but I realized it was stupid. Plus the cabinet layout.

About 15 months ago we moved into our "forever home", with bonus room above the garage, which my developer was willing to customize (to an extent). Besides having them move an interior wall from the typical design (giving me 19+' of wall for the components), I had them upgrade the carpet and padding, had them do a CAT6 run and dedicated 4 outlet grounded 20amp electrical run. Not only is this a great sounding room, when I'm playing my music loud, my wife is not at all disturbed watching TV down in the living room! |
If you are talking about a recording room, then it is clearly not worth saving on the material for the skin, as this is very important. Also, for the future, I can advise a team of guys https://www.homequote.io/windows/minneapolis-mn , who replace and install windows, everything is at the highest level, so you can safely contact |
Lots of helpful advice. I’m in a similar position so appreciate the expertise. My dedicated room will be a bonus room above the garage so little worry about soundproofing other than a sturdy door. My main concern is trying to find the right mix of design and build materials so that the space is neither too dead or reflective. The room is 21x15 with 5 foot knee walks going up to a 9 foot peak. There will be a shed dormer on one of the long walls and the system will be on a short (exterior) wall. I will do a wall mount shelf for the table screwed into a boxed in section of the wall between the 2x4 studs. I did this at our prior home and it worked well. I’d appreciate thoughts/opinions on the room dimensions and use of building materials and room treatments that will diminish first reflections and bass nodes/issues—please PM me if your suggestions do not also apply to the OP. |
