Home Cinema Installations and Great Transmission Through Doors

The reference level found in a soundtrack is 105db and 115db for the LFE channel. Most people would find these levels quite high, but not challenging to listen to, in a correctly designed home cinema room.

A problem occurs though, when we face the challenge of keeping instantly inside the cinema room. In non commercial audio visual installation St Albans, quite often we find bedrooms and other living areas to be right next on the home cinema home. Special room construction techniques allow us put together a sufficient noise barrier, in order to reduce any sound transmission towards adjacent rooms.

However, doors have always been the weakest point, in such an attempt. The mass, damping and stiffness of the home cinema door will determine its resistance for the passage of any sound waves. A door’s ability lessen noise is you can find at its Sound transmission Class. This means, the higher inside the Class the better the efficiency.

One more problem arises though; Sound waves can traverse any opening with very little loss. And to top it off, a tiny hole in a barrier would transmit almost as much sound being a much larger leak. This acoustic property of sound could be a big problem in a small cinema installation, where high quality construction is required. Which is where acoustical gaskets come into game. A home cinema door, in an effort to be effective, the seals around the head, jamb and sill must be complete and air-tight.

In other words, exact same of the acoustical gasket in a place cinema installation, would see how close the particular sound performance of the door, arrives to the published specification. A hi-end home cinema design should take every piece of information into consideration, to ensure a hi-end acoustical conclude.
