| The Master Handbook of Acoustics by F. Alton Everest
You really need to research this. HVAC in the studio is a pretty big deal. There is a chapter in "The Master Handbook of Acoustics" that deals with it. Amazon.com for a few bucks. Well worth the investment. Basically you need lots of extra ductwork to cut down on the air flow velocity, round insullated ducts, as much seperation/isolation between rooms as possibloe in the ductwork itself, etc. I am just finishing up installing HVAC in my studio... I built a little closetfor the furnace in the corner of the building and floated it to cut down on vibration. My HVAC guy is installing a furnace that has a special switch on it that makes it come up to speed slowly so you don't get that lovely JOLT when it goes on...
Good luck. If the Republicans win the election again I'm movin' to Canada! |
