Music Glossary: isolation

Mechanical separation to reduce structure-borne transmission (resilient channels, clips, isolation mounts). more

Unintended sound transmission routes (structure, vents, gaps) bypassing main partitions. more

Personal monitor systems isolating stage sound; reduce bleed and protect hearing. more

Isolation stops sound transmission between rooms; absorption reduces reflections inside the room—different problems, different solutions. more

Each doubling of surface mass raises transmission loss by 6 dB (ideal single leaf). more

High-isolation build using fully decoupled inner shell from the outer structure. more

Reduction of sound through partitions; STC summarizes mid-band isolation performance. more
