Home Cinema Installations and Sound Transmission Through Doors
The reference level of 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 prospective inside the cinema room. In Home Cinemas St Albans installation, quite often we find bedrooms and other living areas to be right next to your home cinema home. Special room construction techniques allow us create a sufficient noise barrier, in order to reduce any sound transmission into the adjacent rooms.
However, doors continually been the weakest point, in an attempt. The mass, damping and stiffness of the home cinema door determines its resistance for the passage of any sound waves. A door’s ability to cut back noise is given by its Sound transmission Class. This means, the higher in the Class the better the efficiency.
One more problem arises though; Sound waves can cross any opening with very little loss. And to top it off, a tiny hole in a barrier would transmit nearly as much sound being a much larger emergency. This acoustic property of sound could be an oversized problem in your property cinema installation, where high quality construction is required. That’s the where acoustical gaskets come into engage. A home cinema door, in order to be effective, the seals around the head, jamb and sill must be complete and air-tight.
In other words, the quality of the acoustical gasket in a home cinema installation, would see how close the particular sound performance of the door, stomach to the published order. A hi-end home cinema design should take everything into consideration, to ensure a hi-end acoustical end result.
