Machine Room Acoustics in Recording Studios & Podcast Rooms

Acoustic performance in a machine room directly impacts the functionality and occupant experience of recording studios & podcast rooms buildings. The RT60 target of Isolated is set to ensure that the space meets its intended purpose, whether that involves speech intelligibility, noise control, or sound isolation from adjacent areas.

The key metric of STC 65+ addresses the primary acoustic concern for this room type. Achieving this target typically requires a combination of absorptive surface treatments, appropriate construction mass, and careful attention to flanking paths and HVAC noise contributions.

Eliminating room modes and flutter echo while achieving NR 15 background noise through box-in-box construction, floating floors, and isolated HVAC systems with extremely low duct velocities.
