Subject: Sound booth fire codes From: "Tollin, Daniel" <Daniel.Tollin@xxxxxxxx> Date: Wed, 15 Apr 2009 11:46:38 -0600 List-Archive:<http://lists.mcgill.ca/scripts/wa.exe?LIST=AUDITORY>--_000_CCA8505C6D9CF2428D34A600102B83252BC3325F32CORTEZucdenve_ Content-Type: text/plain; charset="us-ascii" Content-Transfer-Encoding: quoted-printable Hi, Different topic. During the past couple of weeks I moved one of my IAC d= ouble-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 th= eir sound booths? I've seen a lot of sound booths around the US and I've n= ever once observed a fire sprinkler inside the booth. PS. Thanks to all those on the LIST that suggested contractors to me to mo= ve the sound room. Daniel J.
