Item: Specify the Theater envelope's structural details, e.g., framing, sheathing, insulating, decoupling, isolating and caulking as acoustically appropriate.

Relevance: Most walls and ceilings flex, i.e., absorb sound. This fact can work against good sound, or can be harnessed to improve sound quality, esp. in the bass and mid-bass, where special effects and male dialog energy is typically high.

Form: Dimensioned, computer-generated drawings.
