Many people address the sound in their home cinema rooms only as an afterthought, installing acoustic treatments as a last step. While acoustic treatments are important, sound truly should be addressed as you design a home theater.
Soundproofing a theater is something you do during the design and construction phase to prevent sounds from leaving or entering the room. One of the simplest and most effective ways to achieve this sound isolation is to install acoustical-grade insulation between the walls and in the floor or ceiling.
Audimute’s Peacemaker flexible rubber soundproofing insulation is an excellent choice for soundproofing a theater. Peacemaker offers superior, cost-effective noise reduction, in addition to moisture protection. It’s also eco-friendly, containing at least 80 percent recycled rubber content. Available in sheets or rolls in various thicknesses, Peacemaker keeps sound where it belongs.
Achieving sound isolation with Peacemaker or any insulation product is obviously easier to do when you first design a home theater. For those with existing home cinema rooms, however, soundproofing a theater is not an impossible task. If you strip the walls down to the studs, install the insulation, and then rebuild the walls, you’ll find that the end results are worth the time, effort, and cost.
Remember, the quality of the theater equipment or the furnishings should not be the sole focus in home cinema rooms. Design a home theater correctly, with appropriate soundproofing and acoustics, and you’ll be rewarded with an optimal entertainment experience.
