Home Cinema Installations and Firm Transmission Through Doors
The reference level of ones soundtrack is 105db and 115db for the LFE channel. Most people would find these levels quite high, but not difficult to listen to, in a correctly designed Home Theater Installation St Albans cinema room.
A problem occurs though, when we face the challenge of keeping regular alarm inside the cinema room. In household installation, quite often we find bedrooms and other living areas to be right next to your home cinema room. Special room construction techniques allow us develop a sufficient noise barrier, in order to reduce any sound transmission towards the adjacent rooms.
However, doors constantly been the weakest point, in this attempt. The mass, damping and stiffness of the home cinema door will determine its resistance towards the passage of any sound waves. A door’s ability lessen noise is written by its Sound transmission Class. This means, the higher in the Class the better the efficiency.
One more problem arises though; Sound waves can travel through any opening with very little pain. And to top it off, a tiny hole in a barrier would transmit almost as much sound being a much larger target. This acoustic property of sound could be an appreciable problem in a small cinema installation, where high quality construction is required. Which is where acoustical gaskets come into game. A home cinema door, so as to be effective, the seals around the head, jamb and sill must be complete and air-tight.
In other words, the grade of of the acoustical gasket in a place cinema installation, would see how close the particular sound performance of the door, will come to the published list of specifications. A hi-end home cinema design should take every piece of information into consideration, to ensure a hi-end acoustical end result.
