I am a contractor, with a Passion to audio/video. There are a lot of areas that can help, such as insulate walls & ceilings, sound board before drywall, dedicate each of your amp outlets, & outlet for a/v gear, w/ 12/2 wire. Each of these 3 outlets should be a Leviton dedicated media outlet. Your concrete floor should be applied with UGL water proofing paint, rebond padding, then carpeting. BTW, make sure to put your studs in 12" o.c. and make sure you glue everything to make air tight. Good luck with your project, hope I helped you out my friend..
Building an audio room - 12x22 - electrical plan?
I am at the pount of adding a new room which will be my audio room. It will be 12x22 feet with the audio on the short wall. While I would like to Go wider than this I do have size limits that I have to adhere to. The contractors will be adding electric to the room and I have not yet decided what to request. Based off of what I have read I am assuming that 2 20 amp circuits are the way to go. Any other recommendations? I am looking to add things now that will be easier done during construction then down the road.
I will also be adding a layer of Homasote sound barrier to the sheetrock to keep me toe tapping to myself. The floor will be carpet. Any other items to consider up front?
