One of the most important and often overlooked components of a well-balanced audio or cinema system is the room itself and CSR Gyprock has several products that can assist.

Amusing glitch in their advertising blurb.  :lol:

 

They say " Gyprock Soundchek features a specially formulated dense core to increase its sound transmission performance " - but, given they say earlier " it's designed to reduce the transfer of unwanted noises through walls and ceilings " ... I expect they should really have said "Gyprock Soundchek features a specially formulated dense core to decrease sound transmission "!

It's the English language again.  You can interpret it both ways.

 

I reckon that they wanted to say that they are increasing (improving) the performance and are doing so by decreasing sound transmission.  So increasing and decreasing sort of mean the same thing depending upon what is being increased and decreased.

On room acoustics ...

 

One must be careful about what one wants to achieve in an audio room.  There is a very marked difference between sound-proofing and good room acoustics.  Sound proofing keeps the sound in by reflecting it back into the room, making it a lot more difficult to control, whereas some of the best sounding rooms deliberately let the sound escape to the external world never to return.

 

Light flimsily constructed rooms are often the best acoustically.  Concrete bunkers, which might be great for the neighbours, need not apply.

Sure, A!  :thumb:  IMO, the mixed message came about because the marketing people felt they just had to include the word 'performance' in their blurb. :lol:
