Sound Tripping on Acoustic Doors
Have you been to a building in Australia lately which has a solid-looking and heavily-built entry? Chances are that door you saw is meant to prevent more than just human intruders from entering their place as the doors are likely built to ward off noise too.
Recording studios
Acoustic doors became popular as recording studios began using these to help with the recording process. The doors make it possible to lessen background noise so that the final musical piece will turn out clear and crisp to listen to.
In a recording company, sound proof doors can be located in two key places: (1) the recording booth and (2) the engineering and control booth. While it is easy to imagine why a special door will be needed in the recording booth, few people can picture why the record engineer or sound specialist will need it too. To make things clearer, having the door ensures that the engineer or sound specialist can be isolated from additional rooms in the studio. Their job is to concentrate on the music they could be mixing or listening to for analysis and the door would provide additional help to reduce noise. The doors may also help the sound specialists concentrate on their work and refine glitches on the sound.
Bars, clubs, and restaurants
As major cities in the Land Down Under have more bars and restaurants at almost every turn, these companies now also employ soundproofing measures. Fine dining restaurants and bars need effective noise control because this is what clients are looking for when dining or drinking in such a location. The specialized doors will also offer more privacy; thus, a restaurant or a bar can attract celebrities or other VIP clients.
Why would clubs need special doors when they are located in commercial districts anyway? The answer is simple because clubs are usually located near other clubs too. If these places do not attempt to fix the noise they create, then clients may no longer enjoy going to the place. One club may directly hear the music of another club, and this will disrupt the party mood. Since most clubs cater to different clients and a specific music genre, music coming from another club is a guaranteed formula to get clients walking out the door.
Conference rooms
With technology developing daily, recording devices are now becoming more available. While there is nothing wrong with having a far-ranging recording apparatus, many industries may want to stay away from such gadgets especially when they have a meeting.
Having special doors meant to isolate sound in conference rooms is one way industries involved in software development, food patents, and defence contracts are fighting recording machines. To an outsider, having special doors may sound exaggerated, but to company executives this is absolutely necessary to safeguard company secrets.
For instance, a company creating a new and effective weapon may need a literal hushed scenario when discussing the efficiency of producing this weaponry. Competitors listening to the meeting can certainly pick up details and may duplicate their merchandise to offer to clients. Once this happens, the company will experience losses in research, financing, and efforts in perfecting the defence system.
With more industrialization of rural areas taking place, it's likely that more places will have commercial establishments near residential spaces. Australian homes may one day need these doors in order to for their inhabitants to get some peace and quiet time in their lives.

Is there a big difference in quality between a normal home theater system and a sound bar?
I've been shopping for a new speaker system and I was just wondering how big of a difference there is between a 5.1 speaker system or a sound bar?
That really depends on the quality of each but in general a sound bar isn't a good way to go. In order for the simulated surround to work you need side walls so if you are in a room that opens into another room leaving no side wall on one or both sides then it's not going to work. To get the simulated surround they create off axis lobes of sound that bounce off the walls creating the illusion of rear speakers so without those walls to bounce off they simply don't work.
Generally sound bars are low profile but this requires them to use very small drivers. Small drivers can make for a good speaker if you use enough of them but it takes a lot. Some large line arrays will use a large quantity of small drivers with very good results but the typical sound bar doesn't use enough. Also, no single channel uses all of them, they are used in groups to get the desired effect. If you were to opt for a full 5.1 or 7.1 surround system and went too cheap, it may also use only a few very small drivers and thus not perform much if any better than a sound bar so going full surround is not an automatic improvement.
Full surround does offer more possibilities. In fact the possibilities are endless. With a full surround system you can do what ever you want, use as big a speakers as you want, as big a amplifier as you want etc. You can make a system that will blow your local I-Max theatre out of the water if you are willing to make the investment to do it. This kind of option is not available with a sound bar.
