The little signs on the elevator say that incase of a fire then the elevator is out of order. So what happens when there is a fire, but you are in an elevator? Would it just stop working?
It will not disarm the alarm per se, but it will prevent it from calling the monitoring center, this will not, however, prevent the alarm from going off, and those alarms are pretty freaking loud, and unless you live out in the middle of nowhere, the neighbors are sure to hear it, and if the alarm system doesn't have a loudspeaker horn, the buzzers can be enough to have that nails on a chalkboard sound to it, try to steal when hearing that Not to mention, it depends where you live, who built the house, and what the homeowner chooses to do (later on down the road), but while some TNI boxes (Telephone Network Interface) may be outside in a place where it can easily be cut, some houses have the TNI installed in their garages or basements, and the main line is buried until it gets to the pole or or box (that is unless it is brought from a pole to a roof conduit, which isn't the case for most houses), so the person breaking in would have to run to the garage or basement (if they didn't already go through the garage), and cut the phone line while the alarm is going off, and it would be too late anyway, the alarm system would of already called the monitoring center and the police would already be on their way, so the likeliness that somebody would cut the line is rare
I may not completely understand, but if your surfaces in your studio (theater) are not reflecting sound energy and are absorbing it, and the sound is worse, perhaps your electronics are behind the curve for your taste/ear. I think that it's technically impossible to get lower sound quality with acoustic treatments. All that can do is let your speakers represent without interference. You could hang some framed art (glass covered) on the back and side walls to bring some reverb back. Good luck!
