In the process of building my dedicated audio room & your opinion is much appreciated
Renovated room will have a vaulted ceiling along the length of the room 28 ft long . Width 17' 10" . Side wall will be 7' 10" & it will peaked at about 12.5' .
I am considering sealing the smaller skylight area & it will be left with a reasonable size skylight (prob 4 x 5 ' ) which I m thinking of sealing it with a 15-20mm thick tempered glass . Was told that if it's thick , it will not be noisy when it rain heavily which is pretty often especially during monsoon season. Plan to hang panel traps 2' x 4' x 3" along the peak to absorb reflected sound due to the vaulted ceiling
Intend to hang absorption / diffuser panel eg vicoustic wave wood on the wooden ceiling . I could easily build & hang some mdf / solid wood diffusers on the ceiling but wouldn't want to run the risk of it dropping on me or on my gears which I intend to place on the side walls . As you can see , I plan to seal the tiny gaps of the wooden ceiling with 2" wooden strut otherwise the whole ceiling is a helmholtz resonator !
My question is that instead of sealing off the current open air skylight to be consistent with the wooden ceiling , I m thinking of maintaining the skylight with thick tempered glass so that my audio room can be bath with natural lighting & when I m watching movie , I create a motorise mechanism to close the skylight . However would the tempered glass skylight affects my room acoustic ?
