Examples To help you visualize how the ASC Soffit
can fit into your project, we've come up with some examples
based on the ideal room size of 16' wide by 26' long by 10'
high.

How
to Spec an Acoustic Soffit The ASC Acoustic Soffit is a powerful
acoustic device, yet it’s very easy to specify and install.
The modular design allows for many variations in both the
home theater and the budget. Ideally, an Acoustic Soffit is
installed around the full perimeter of a home theater.
In some instances, this may not
be possible. Room decor may limit the installation of a full
perimeter Acoustic Soffit. That’s where the modular
design of the Soffit permits flexibility when planning an
install. For instance, a Soffit across the front or rear only
would give a considerable acoustic improvement.
Need to include wall wash down
lighting? It’s easy and fast, since the Soffit comes
with pre-installed code compliant halogen spots, when requested.
Need to run wiring for Surround? Not a problem. The Soffit
form a continuously hollow space which can easily accommodate
a wire run tray.
Estimating the cost is simple
too, with ASC’s lineal cost per foot system. Just measure
how many feet of Soffit you plan to install and multiply it
by $104 per foot. For example, a 12’ x 20’ home
theater with a full perimeter Soffit would cost MSRP $6656.
Add $50 for each halogen light required.
