?sound domes

[Phalbe Henriksen]

Folks,

We're getting ready to design and build a new library. I'd like to put a 
sound dome in. You know, like the one that NASA had at ALA. I can't find 
much on the internet and I suspect my search terms are inadequate.

I was interested to find that Kohler has put them in their Design Center 
<http://www.us.kohler.com/pr/renovation.html>. Also, there's this from 
Microsoft, which I don't understand a word of:
<http://msdn.microsoft.com/library/default.asp?url=/library/en-
us/directx9_c/directX/htm/idirectsound3dbuffer8getconeangles.asp>.

Does anyone know of any brand names? Do they have to be custom-built? 
Does anyone know how much they cost? Why is this so difficult?  Let's 
see...get a Pyrex mixing bowl, drill a hole in the bottom....

Thanks.
