In-Wall Soffit Mounted ATC Speakers

[@r-ratedstudios3847]

this is so smart ! using rubber and decoupler cups while having A METAL ROD holding the speaker, GENIUS !

[@MattSalamone]

BRAVE MAN!!! I could never drill holes into $24k speakers lol

[@KarmalunaStudios]

Hi Matt, thanks! Yeah you're damn right, I didn't sleep for a week before finding that madness!! I think we checked the measures like 50+ times for two whole days before drilling those holes!! Scaaaaary!! Lol lol But so much worthy man! Speakers changed radically their sound, it was like magics. In-wall all the way!

[@MattSalamone]

@@KarmalunaStudios haha I bet!! Amazing to hear! One of the best install I've seen, thanks for sharing

[@KarmalunaStudios]

Thank you Matt! 🙏🙏

Would you come to Los Angeles to build a studio? I'm looking for a trusted team to build my control room, but I haven't found anybody I trust to drill holes in my SCM110As. I want mine soffit mounted too. You guys looked very confident doing it.

[@ferdinandwilhelm8749]

Very cool! I didn't expect this process to be that involved

[@KarmalunaStudios]

It took a lot of effort, but it was worth it 😇

[@nathanielbrice8725]

Dream speakers! Fantastic build! Well done!

[@KarmalunaStudios]

Thank you so much Nathaniel! Yes, they are really great speakers, the best midrange we have ever heard!

[@YEGULEDUTAINMENT]

I’ve been making original bossa nova music in Tokyo, Japan. I love ATC speakers and own 25A.

[@simeonmatthews4584]

I never realised just how much work goes into actually sofet mounting speakers properly. Drilling holes into a pair of ATC’s? I don’t think I could do that 😢

[@KarmalunaStudios]

Yeah, still having nightmares about it!! But it was the best thing we have ever done!! Never heard such a sound before, soffit mounted speakers is the way!

[@juanderosa1265]

Bravo enrico congrats ❤

[@midas1048]

thank you so much for the insights of your baffle construction!

[@astrobearmusic1977]

Fascinating to watch, I really enjoyed your build. I have a question, if I sit the monitors on concrete do you think I still need to worry about decoupling with bells?

[@hallyMUSICprojecT]

Hi, thanks for the video I am about to flush mount a similar sized pair of studio mains into my Control room front wall. My speakers are a custom built by a company in the UK, they are 700 x 700 x 350. Would it be possibly to get the contact details of the acoustician that advised/ consulted you with the process of mounting your ATC's Regards Ronan

[@MatthiasVanEnte]

Hi, impressive studio build, very nice studio! I have a question regarding the ATC speakers, if you don't mind me asking: did you use the active speakers and take out the amplifiers or is there a version of the speakers that alsready comes with the speakers and amps separately? And one more question regarding the runded edges of the speakers: is there a way to remove the rounded frame so that the fronts of the speakers are completely flat? This is the way I always see them when soffit-mounted. The rounded edges seem to be used when the speakers are set up on speaker stands. Thanks so much for you help!

[@KarmalunaStudios]

Hi! Our reseller (Funky Junk) took care of ordering directly at ATC the version with separate amplifiers and flat frames.

[@KarmalunaStudios]

Thank you so much for your great support! It's so nice to receive such comments, big up!

[@darrellwright6254]

Hey can you tell us what kind of decouplers this were?

[@uptownphotography]

Cool video. A lot of work I am sure building your new control room. I am building a new room myself (moving my control room from the basement to the second floor). I have a long way to go! Best of luck with your new studio and those ATCs... Philip NYC Area

Hi and thanks for your support! Yes it's a long mission! Don't give up and don't compromize: at the end it will be worthy!! :)

Thank you so much Leo!

What is “lead” here? The metal ?

[@Or5mr]

How do you keep those soft dome mid range cones clean? mines are full of hairs and dust. And there's no way to take it off

[@KarmalunaStudios]

Don't know, still very clean here!

[@mixbyJM]

Awesome!! What is LEAD?

[@KarmalunaStudios]

Hi there, we did use the following panels: www.ghirotto.it/prodotti/isolanti-acustici/piombopan-sb-0606/ A really amazing result! Thanks for your support!

[@mixbyJM]

@@KarmalunaStudios thanks for your reply. So the panels are like replacement of elastomer? to decouple more? And if you dont mind, What brand/kind of decoupler you use? thank you..amazing gear you have btw!

[@KarmalunaStudios]

@@mixbyJM Thank you! No, panels are needed to create mass around the speaker-boxes themselves (the optimal would have been to create a case of concrete all around the speakers). Decouplers are working amazingly but are not an easy thing to select. They must be calculated by your acoustic engineer. They need to cut off some special frequencies and you need to pick them accordingly to the specificics of your speakers and the case you have built around them. The email of my acoustic engineer is in the description, just in case you want to contact him. Thanks again for your support and good luck with producing music!

[@alieustiansamateh6401]

Can i ask how big youre room was before building, how big the room is now and distance between the speakers? Kind regards Alieu S Samateh

[@KarmalunaStudios]

Sure! The empty room was around 21 ft in length and 16 ft wide, 9 ft high. We lost around 30% of its volume with the sound treatment. The distance between the two speakers' acoustic axes is 8'-6" (around 2.6 mt). Thanks for your support!

[@alieustiansamateh6401]

@@KarmalunaStudios Thank very very very much 😁❤️🙏🏾 You are welcome, all the best 🙏🏾😊

[@alieustiansamateh6401]

Do you feel like you need a sub for them in this room or is it enough bass? Best regards 😊🙏🏾👊🏽🙂

[@kobey95]

@@KarmalunaStudios what's the thikness of the wall s ?

[@KarmalunaStudios]

@@alieustiansamateh6401 No, not at all, they deliver some amazing and very linear bass, after being in-wall mounted. But when I first tested the speakers just out of the box, on some open-air stands, then yes, I was a bit surprised by the lack of bass.
