Project Studio Build

[Virgil.]

Kinda, these portable absorbers - and basically every other acoustic treatment - were planned and designed by an acoustician/studio-designer: http://www.mikasmietshaus.de/ He's called "Mikas Mietshaus" on the forum and posted a few times in this thread.
I can't hand out the plans unfortunately.
If you look through the thread, there are pictures of the construction process of those absorbers and from there you should be able to clone them

The absorber is filled with 10cm deep Isover mineral wool called TP1, the names and Isover products are different for the US and Europe, though.
The fabric is called "Molton" or "Bühnen-Molton" (stage molton?). Not sure how it's called in english really, I only find the word and wikipedia entries in french, danish and some other European languages It's the fabric that gets used in theaters, cinemas and studios a lot, made out of 100% cotton and napped on both sides of the fabric. Canvas is often used for acoustic panels too, but I don't like the look honestly.

Cool, thanks for the information!

They are oddly shaped (two are trapezes) and the other two are pentagons, soo.. They are between 40 and 60 cm wide and 120 cm long, and as high as the room which is 2,43m.
Judging from the bills I have here, I bought a total of 31 sacks of hemp here: http://www.bausep.de/Oekobaustoffe/Hanfdaemmung/Hanfland-Stopfhanf-5-kg.html

Btw I got some nice asthma from the hemp and I am no allergy sufferer normally.. but that was obviously too much. Also it smells like, well, hemp.. more like hay and the smell is pretty intense. Way better than the nasty smell of mineralwool (which smells like catpiss to me) but it stays sometime, too. Mineral wool hasn't proven to be hazardous even in long-time tests and for the workers that work with it, with no breathing protection for years. If you open the packages and let it breath in the open air for some hours even the possibly somehow hazardous but not proven to be hazardous in any way fumes can leave the mineralwool. If you are still worried you can use a tripple protection (Rieselschutz) and there will be no mineralwool particles in your room.

Wichtig ist, dass man Zwischenböden macht damit der Hanf nicht zu sehr zusammensackt und dann eher reflektierend wirkt. Die richtige Stopfdichte herauszufinden ist auch nicht ganz einfach, aber letztlich habe ich die Ballen so wie sie eben sind reingelegt und die Zwischenräume ausgefüllt ohne das Zeug zusammenzudrücken. Für die 2,43m habe ich glaube ich zwei Zwischenböden aus Hasengitter gespannt.

That's pretty much what I hope the bands will think when they see the studio.
Even if they don't care for good aocustics, they will probably decide to come here because the studio looks cool

Doesn't matter I still love you

Really? But can you design according to what's available in my country? And did you design Max's wall - wall, roof - floor? Because it looks amazing!
