Peter WM Posted February 19, 2018 Share Posted February 19, 2018 (edited) I had a build thread on DTV for a few years, but it got nuked somehow about 12 months ago. Decided I may as well upload all the photos again, but I won't be adding any descriptions. Happy to answer any and all questions !

Quark Posted February 19, 2018 Share Posted February 19, 2018 I remember the DTV build thread - it was very informative. The photos are great to have again - one of the very best HT builds I've seen. Peter, any updates on your equipment, or have you avoided temptation so far? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Peter WM Posted February 19, 2018 Author Share Posted February 19, 2018 Hi Quark, Thanks. Still all the same equipment - love the room so much that I haven't felt the need to upgrade - although I probably shouldn't admit that around here !! Hoping to do a 4K and Atmos upgrade in the next 12 months. Cheers, Peter 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

solman Posted February 20, 2018 Share Posted February 20, 2018 Amazing space peter, just wow!! I had to laugh that you still installed windows in the room only to completely cover them up ? im guessing so the house didnt look silly for the outside right? Out of curiosity what are the dimensions of your room? Again just wow!!! Love it!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
andyr Posted February 20, 2018 Share Posted February 20, 2018 Wow! What a setup! Respect!! Andy Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Peter WM Posted February 20, 2018 Author Share Posted February 20, 2018 solman, The windows were required for code compliance as well as external appearance. They'll also help with resale at some point, as some buyers would want to re-purpose the room. The acoustic shell dimensions are 9.6 x 6.4 x 3.6m and the finished room is 7.5 x 6.2 x 3.3m.

solman Posted February 20, 2018 Share Posted February 20, 2018 Thats an awesome size room. Are the panels on the walls BAD panels wrapped in a material? If so where did you get them from? That look amazing and i'm hoping to get the same finish for my room.... when i eventually start it ? Thanks for sharing just a great space Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Graceman Posted February 20, 2018 Share Posted February 20, 2018 A labour of love - fabulous! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Peter WM Posted February 21, 2018 Author Share Posted February 21, 2018 Solman, There are three different types of wall panels which were placed by the acoustic designer. I made all the panels using timber frames, fibreglass insulation, heavy plastic sheet and fabric wrap. One of the panel types uses Quest AI Perfsorber which is a perforated high density fibreglass, manufactured in Dandenong under license by Acoustic Vision.

AudioGeek Posted February 21, 2018 Share Posted February 21, 2018 Awesome! Missed your thread on DTV, glad you decided to share it here. Was this a new structure or an add on to an existing house? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Peter WM Posted February 21, 2018 Author Share Posted February 21, 2018 AudioGeek, It was part of a new house build and sits above a double garage. The theatre / garage appears to be part of the same structure as the rest of the house, but is separated with a building joint and there is no connection between the two structures. This has worked really well in isolating structure borne vibration / noise from the rest of the house. Mrs M is convinced the whole house was designed around the theatre !

Cheers, Peter Thats a great way of doing it - a true dedicated separate space. Very envious! So the entry is via the garage underneath - and there is no walkway/connection to the rest of the house? How does one get away with that? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
