LIVE ROOM
Firefly sits embedded in the earth, fortified by a 12" thick concrete wall serving to decouple external ground vibrations from the studio's interior. The cutting room, large iso booth, and control rooms remain isolated at the building's exterior by approximately 8 1/2" of combined concrete and soil.
Complete with wood-framed walls isolated from structural components, rockwool-insulated and heavily sheathed wall cavities, and metal roof decks treated with sprayed insulation, the studio's design leaves no stone unturned concerning isolation and acoustic control.
The cutting room sits on a floated floor decoupled from the structural foundation using the Kinetics RIM-Q system, and finished ceilings stay decoupled from the structure via Kinetics ICC suspension hangers, rubber, and caulk.
With sound doors from Noise Barriers and windows comprising two decoupled pieces of 3/8" glass, all systems function at a Noise Criterion (NC) 20 rating while maintaining comfortable temperature and humidity levels.
A lighting grid sits above the studio floor and audio equipment grounds separately from the "house" electrical system. Lyntech sequencing panels work with a shunt trip breaker to protect all on-board gear.
