How small a decent Mixing room could be?

In order to have decent acoustics to mix, how small in volume could be a well treated control/mixing room with a low ceiling?

Low ceilings can be a problem, but my minimum recommended room volume is 1500 cubic feet or 42 cubic meters. This is the minimum for a treated room to translate properly. Cheers, John

+1. A follower of great recommendations, Andre

Thankyou

So is a room 8x9x7 (feet) a total lost cause?

No, not a total lost case. If that's all you have, then that's all you have. You just have to realize that it won't be optimal, and that it will have modal issues (or rather, lack of modes) in the low end: it cannot support any modes at all below about 60 Hz, and they are very patchy and uneven up to nearly 200 Hz. As long as you are aware of those limitations, and can live with them, then you can build a room with those dimensions. Look at it this way: if its that or nothing, then it sure is a hell of a lot better than "nothing"! :) - Stuart -

Well I just measured it and its 10'3x8'3x7'3 that's good news. So are wide band senators behind angled walls my best bet? Sorry for hijacking the thread. Ill do a sketchup next week

What are "wide band senators "? :shock: - Stuart -

I meant resonators. Sorry about that currently online with my phone until my broad band transfers. I've just moved house you see.

No. Broad band absorption is. Andre

Ah. Thanks for the correction. What would you suggest is the best approach for such a small mix room
