[QUOTE="Rick, post: 735566, member: 17143"] Thanks Rodney, agree I don't want to over absorb. I will post pics when I start roof contraption but what I have in mind is a solid box 350X400mm around the perimeter of the ceiling with the inner side open to the room through a 200mm gap and folded inside. Its constructed of 18mm MDF and anchored to the walls with steel brackets, and damped with these tar mats they use in cars. The recess will be partially filled with sound absorbent material. To an observer it should just look like a nice ceiling with strip lighting. it may not work, hope it does and my theory works but what the heck it will make the room look nice with the LED strip lighting and down lights. Years ago I worked for Max Wilgen of Audio Geometry, I was the production manager that was tasked with all the panels for the Swazi broadcast studio refurb, (What a mission I remember) spent about a year making and endlessly nailing acoustic panels to walls. I still have a burned in memory of standing in one of the completed well damped recording studios listening to Genesis playing through some R120K each Studer Revox active studio monitors. That sound was so good I will never forget it, I have yet to replicate it. Some of the kit they threw out, just dumped in front of the building...... I had no idea what I was looking at back then or I would have brought it all home. [/QUOTE]
