Sound booth fire codes

["Tollin, Daniel" <Daniel.Tollin@xxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Hi,

 

  Different topic.  During the past couple of weeks I moved one of my IAC double-walled sound booths (~10x10x10 foot outer dimensions) to a different room.  After the move the inspector for my building informed me that a fire sprinkler must be installed INSIDE the sound booth.  Four years ago I had 2 booths installed brand new and the inspector had no problem (go figure).  Has anybody, particularly here in the US, had a similar experience with their sound booths?  I’ve seen a lot of sound booths around the US and I’ve never once observed a fire sprinkler inside the booth.

 

PS.  Thanks to all those on the LIST that suggested contractors to me to move the sound room.
