The reference level of ones 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 a residential installation, quite often we find bedrooms and other living areas to be right next for the home cinema nursery. Special room construction techniques allow us to build a sufficient noise barrier, in order to reduce any sound transmission on the adjacent rooms.
However, doors generally been the weakest point, in such an 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 lessen noise is written by its Sound transmission Class. This means, the higher inside 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 as being a much larger leak. This acoustic property of sound could be a problem in a building cinema installation, where high quality construction is required. Which is where acoustical gaskets come into game. A Home Cinema Installation Hertfordshire cinema door, in an effort to be effective, the seals around the head, jamb and sill must be complete and air-tight.
In other words, the quality of the acoustical gasket in a house cinema installation, would figure out how close specific sound performance of the door, arrives to the published list of specifications. A hi-end home cinema design should take everything into consideration, to ensure a hi-end acoustical stem.
