Building an audio room - 12x22 - electrical plan?


I am at the pount of adding a new room which will be my audio room. It will be 12x22 feet with the audio on the short wall. While I would like to Go wider than this I do have size limits that I have to adhere to. The contractors will be adding electric to the room and I have not yet decided what to request. Based off of what I have read I am assuming that 2 20 amp circuits are the way to go. Any other recommendations? I am looking to add things now that will be easier done during construction then down the road.

I will also be adding a layer of Homasote sound barrier to the sheetrock to keep me toe tapping to myself. The floor will be carpet. Any other items to consider up front?

Running 220/240 single phase into a dwelling is not an issue, but there are probably restrictions on the type of room, e.g. a bedroom, you can run it to. This should be checked with the local building inspector. I concur with S7horton about the availability of 220 VAC 60 Hz equipment, very few if any. My only recollection of a 220 VAC unit was a Very high current amp a few years back in a show report. An important comment on European equipment, it is designed for 50 Hz and won't work on our 220 (60 Hz). You would need a transformer or power regenerator to use it.
