Hello! At first of all...my name is tobias, 22years old from cologne. I`m new here and hope to get some help. I observe this forum since a few weeks and think its one of the best for this field :) I will build my new studio in the basement of my house the room is width: 2,15m length: 4,10m height: 2,10m Here is my first layout.

thanks :) greetings tobias
looks like a nice plan. i'd add some side wall and a ceiling absorber on first reflection points and also some small absorption on the side walls and ceiling toward the back to break up parallel surface reflections.
Thanks Gulfo! But where is the best place to add the side wall absorber ?.I`m asking because in on of the sidewalls is a window so the room for absorber is really restricted.
approximately on the side of the desk so its out of the way of the window. consider drapes over the window if needed to reduce reflections off it but if the drawing is to scale, then it looks to be behind the mixer seat and would be OK. here's how to calculate the first reflection points on walls, ceiling, and floors: http://www.realtraps.com/art_room-setup.htm
Thanks :-)! Yes it is directly behind the mixer seat. another question...where i can find real pictures of the diy corner absorber ? I think it would be helpfull to see how they look in real.
thanks KnuckleHead :) but i mean real pictures from this panels...maybe anybody has buildt this and can show me a picture....
just do a look through stickies on the construction forum. there are some and many folks have posted photos of them as well.
Thanks Gulfo :) I started to build the room. Here the first pictures.

This weekend i will start to build some cornertraps....i dont know maybe i`ll buy some cornertraps like this. http://www.musicstore.de/is-bin/INTERSHOP.enfinity/WFS/MusicStore-MusicStoreShop-Site/de_DE/-/EUR/ViewProductDetail-Start;pgid=TOZgS6SfaObm0000000000000000z5nIuPOy?CatalogVideo=&ProductUUID=5iLVqHzmGrIAAAEX4IlgyFi_&CatalogCategoryID=CyfVqHzlNw4AAAEVgxtWf70R&JumpTo=OfferList So far :9 greets from germany. hope get some nice ideas for my room tramonto
i think the absorber products you listed are too light. you're better off buying some 48kg/m3 rigid insulation and stacking the corners with it (covered with flame retardant treated cloth). make some 60cmx120cm porous absorbers for the ceiling and sides. make a wall of it on the space leftover on the back wall (put it in a frame and covered with cloth). nice construction!
