ela Demonstration Whole Home Experience
This Family Room entertainment system has (5) in-ceiling speakers and (1) subwoofer for the 5.1 surround sound system. The eliminate the chance of residual sound making its way upstairs, we used an acoustical mass barrier above the second floor joists prior to installing the plywood decking. This "limp mass barrier" effectively blocks 95% of the sound from the in-ceiling speakers. the last 5% is handled by the blown insulation. The audio system has the ability to "synchronize the Family Room & Kitchen areas for a seamless playback without any unwanted audio delays or echo.
