The dead room and booths.

The walls are 6" solid blocks, I battoned them out, filled with insulation and then plasterboarded.

The doors that go into the booths are on sliding runners. I made the doors from 2"x6" timber and then filled the cavity with 3 sheets of plasterboard and barrier mat and then covered the sides in ply wood. In fact I made all of the doors for the sound rooms like this. The non sliding doors have magnetic seals which work really well.

The opening in the middle photo is a windo to the live room. I used 2 sheets of standard double glazing 6 " apart.

One wall of the dead room and booths has a bass trap made from 1" air gap, limp mass membrane, 1" air gap and then 4" of Rockwool RW3 the UK equivelent of 703. I then used 4" profile foam on the side walls and ceiling, it's not anechoic, still has a bit of life.
