Listening position

Is the 38% listening position from the front wall still the optimum position or has that changed? My room is 22' x 20.5'. Thanks!

It's a good starting point, but should be confirmed with room measuring

Paul, Could you please elaborate on room measuring? Thanks!

viewtopic.php?f=3&t=21122 Waterfall,spectogram,ETC,RT60 are the most useful.

Thanks for the link, Paul. I appreciate it.

Big Room, lucky you. Is it a Control Room, Home Theatre, Cock Fighting Venue? Anywhere is good to start measuring. But 38% was derived in a hypothetically fully reflective concrete space with Flush Mounted Speakers. Time, changes and developments mean that Stuarts guide to REW is a bit iffy........ The UMIK-1 is a great choice. It is a 1 Channel USB device so SoundCard Calibration or Loopback are Moot. iApps are better than cheap SLMs now. viewtopic.php?f=3&t=22328

A Cock Fighting Venue sounds like fun, but I'm sure the misses would not approve. :D It's a Control Room. 38% seems about right for the room. I'll start there. I have a set of Amphion Two18 with BaseOne25, and on the desk, I'll have a set of Two15 and Avantone's. I'll be sitting those on a AZ Studio Workstation Oxford, custom made white top with black legs. I have the Sonarworks measuring mic which I used in a previous studio, and works very well. In a room that size, I'm hoping I don't have to use the SoundID app, which is pretty amazing in itself. The room will be fully treated with TubeTraps and 244's from GIK.
