Home Cinema Installations and Great Transmission Through Doors

The reference level found in a soundtrack is 105db and 115db for the LFE channel. Most people would find these levels quite high, but not tough 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 residential installation, quite often we find bedrooms and other living areas to be right next to the Home Cinemas Hertfordshire cinema room. Special room construction techniques allow us create a sufficient noise barrier, in order to reduce any sound transmission to the adjacent rooms.

However, doors generally been the weakest point, in this attempt. The mass, damping and stiffness of the home cinema door will determine its resistance for the passage of any sound waves. A door’s ability to relieve noise is you can find at 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 pain. And to top it off, a tiny hole in a barrier would transmit almost as much sound like a much larger emergency. This acoustic property of sound could be an appreciable problem in a residential cinema installation, where high quality construction is required. That is where acoustical gaskets come into have. A home cinema door, so as to be effective, the seals around the head, jamb and sill must be complete and air-tight.

In other words, exact same of the acoustical gasket in a real estate cinema installation, would see how close the actual sound performance of the door, will come to the published specification. A hi-end home cinema design should take every detail into consideration, to ensure a hi-end acoustical stop result.
