The Logic Off Topic list

I just completed a new surround mixing room which I'm currently moving 
into.  It was designed by Chips Davis, and although I don't have it full of 
recording gear yet, my preliminary listening in the room tells me it sounds 
excellent.

The side walls are covered by RPG BAD panels.  These are a cloth-covered 
panel with a layer of diffusing masonite and 1" compressed fibreglass.  The 
front and rear walls are covered with panels we built, identical except 
they don't have the masonite.  The drop ceiling has these same panels over 
the rear, and RPG Omnifussors over the mixing area for addition diffusion. 
I don't know which of the two RPG products has the most influence on the 
acoustics, but using one or the other would probably be plenty for most 
requirements.

The panels we built were probably around $7,500 between materials and 
labor, and the RPG stuff cost around $9,000 including shipping. Not cheap, 
but definitely not "artfully cut foam!"  This is probably considered 
mid-line acoustic treatment, since you can easily spend $20,000 or more on 
a single custom RPG rear wall diffusor!

p.s.  The monitor system I chose was the 5.1 package from Blue Sky.  I 
don't have surround functional
         yet, but so far I really like the sound of these speakers in a 2.1 
configuration.
