Acoustics


Soliciting insights on "Acoustical Treatment" at the construction level.

I am in the design process of a new home. One of my priorites for this build is a "Dedicated Audio Room". It is what I would classify as Medium in size 21L'x16W'x11H. Helmholts Resonaters have been designed and will be installed in each corner, dedicated circuitry and ground. I work in technology and have engineering resources I can leverage to optimize dimensions and venting to reduce "Room Modes", but not so much for Acoustical Engineering and equally if not more importantly, experience/ familiarity listening to different systems in different enviornments. 

Originally, I was thinking about "Reselient Channels"  around the perimeter and the ceiling, but my Architect believes "Acoustibok" is a better option.

My listening preferrence is in the 70/75 DM range. High sensitivity speakers, Class "A" Amps, Significant focus on "Very Low Noise Floor". I like Cool Jazz, Instrumentals, Prominent Vocals and some Rock from time to time.

There is a threshold between Room Conditioning and going too far. If it makes sense, I would like to retain some liveliness (80/20) and not take the conditoning all the way to a recording studio state. My fear would be going too far and creating a dead space.

Does anyone have experience with either Acoustiblok or Resilient Channels, their charachteristics? I am also open to other suggestions.

Thank you!

@mkdm11   If you are considering the resilient channel, have you looked at incorporating the Genie Clip?  You can google it by name.  Cheers,

BigTwin, Bigwave, Mcroth,

Thank you for taking the time to provide reference and insight, it's very much appreciated.

For context, No windows, 4 corners will be 45 degrees, with "Resonaters" installed in construction. I am intirgued by Acoustiblok, complimented by double Drywall and "Green Glue".

More to consider and research.

Thank you again!!
