Listening to: Nina Hagen – Live at Rockplast 1978<\/a> and Herman Brood – Live at Rockplast 1978<\/a> . The movie they co-starred in, Cha Cha,<\/a> was released the next year (it was a hot mess with an really awesome soundtrack album).<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

A hush box<\/a> would neat to build. Especially since my studio space is full of sawdust and scrap wood anyway with some ongoing renos.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

A hush box channels air around baffles in order to quiet a projector’s cooling fans (which can be annoying after awhile, especially in a small space). Having recently acquired a Bomaker Parrot<\/a> to watch movies on, I need one.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Figure wood will be free, it will just need some hardware (hinges, corner braces), optic glass, fans and power supply. Then a thin coating of acoustic foam. We’ve previously used thin layers of acoustic bat insulation for such things but the proper foam will be easier to handle. If I use industrial velcro to attach the baffles, it can be reconfigured for a different unit down the road.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Ya, will be fun.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Update: Has been running find for over a years now. Was never as quiet as I’d hoped but keeps the projector to a civilized roar and removes the annoying high-pitched frequencies.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
