The room has been fully upgraded now. From the carpet on the floor to the treatments on the ceiling.

I have added extensive room treatments. For example the ceiling treatments consist of multiple layered absorption material mounted between the joists, specifically corning fiberglass ceiling tile, followed by a 3" layer of Roxul "Safe n Sound" insulation and a 1" air gap before the sub floor.

The result is a nice wide sound stage, with great imaging and controled bass.

The system never sound this good. I am extremely happy with the results because I was affraid that the small size of the room would become problematic.

In the coming days I will add more (and better) pictures showing the various details and the DIY absorption panels.

Currently this system is not about the gear (yet). It is about a room in the basement of our new house (actually 60 year old house, but new to us).

The room was used an office by the previous owners and housed a great slow combustion wood burning stove. That my insurance company refuse to insure (good ridence)

Here are the basics of the room. Here are the rough Dimensions 10' wide by 16' long with a height to the under side of the ceiling joists at 6'-6". I have little more then 7' feet to the underside of the ground level floor panels.

My first task is to rip out the stove, plug the chimney, then rip out the wall to wall desk/shelving unit.

My plan is to locate the system in the room on opposite wall from the stove. I will build out a false wall about 3' wide and 2" to 3" of the existing wall to mount my TV and allow for cables to pass in the wall. This will also allow me to easily run a 20 amp dedicated line straight to the panel located in the next room. I have just enough free space for the new breaker.

Once that is done I will have to sound proof and treat the room.

And finally move in the actual gear (see my system DJ Rig Transform for a list of major compenents).

My goal here is to keep posting a things progress. Some of the work described has already been completed and others stuff still has needs to be done quickly. Moving day is in one week!

The gear listed is actually a second system but it is located in the new room while my prep work is ongoing.
