New room setup - looking for advice

Hi Everyone, So I'm getting married in a few weeks time and apart from the obvious planning going into that, I'm moving my project studio into a new place (priorities!). The spare room I'm setting up in is a fairly odd shape and I'm a bit unsure of where to start. Leaving treatment aside for the moment, does anyone have any suggestions for the best starting position for my desk and near-fields? There's a few Sketch-up pics attached. My concern is what effect the angled wall and windows will have on room reflections and whether this will distort my monitoring in any way. All suggestions welcome, thanks in advance.

The only option that you did not show would be your desk facing the angled wall, which would be the best place t start. Then you develop a basic reflection free zone, get some broad band damping in the corner that is now at your back...and get on with the Honeymoon!!

Thanks xSpace, Typical, the best location is the one furtherest from the only power point in the room. Just for my own education, what's the theory behind the angled wall being the best placement? Is it to try and create some kind of symmetry with the corner behind the mix position rather than a straight wall in one ear and an angled wall in the other? James.

There is no simple answer for this room. It would actually require structurally modifications to be a better room. That said, the best symmetry that this room can produce will be along the angled wall. The problem, OVER ALL, is the potential for low frequency build up in the many corners that you have. So we move the desk away from the corners, which are notorious for 3-6 dB build up and attempt to eliminate this. We also look for a flat area in front of the "listening" position, that place where a person will be seated. Fact is, with the proper construction adjustments/treatments, the desk could be placed anywhere in this room.

maybe this works? create a single slat wall across the corner to form the 2 side walls into angles. stand up some absorbers behind you. put a small window in the slat wall for additional light.

No easy solutions, but yours looks like the best Glenn.

Nice design Glenn. Thanks for your efforts. That's probably beyond my means at the moment. The place is a rental so I'm not sure how the slat wall would go with the owner. I'm thinking I will go with Brien's suggestion of having the desk against the angled wall and then build some gobos to stand across the 90 degree corner behind me, to ease the angle, (similar to what you've done with the two panels on stands). Then look at treating the first reflection points. Do you think this would achieve a similar result to your design? I'm hoping to start setting things up this weekend so I might post some photos depending how far I get.

You could simply build three panels with the slats on them so you can move them later. You're really to add something massive in the space and take advantage of some broadband absorption.
