Room treatment idea...what do you think

Looking for any advice I can get. This is what I have so far. Let me know what you think or if I should make any adjustments. The closet on the lower right is the vocal booth. The black thing by the desk is a combo amp. The transparent looking things are clouds. All of this treatment will be made out of OC 703 2". This is on the second floor of a house, by the way. Carpet flooring. Sorry, I don't have the measurements of the room yet. I did this drawing at work. :lol: The first picture is from above, of course. The second picture is looking into the room.

Consider some panels straddling where the slanted ceiling meetes the flat ceiling. That's a good place to get absorbtion through the room length and also gain some bass absorbtion. Bryan

Aloha myriad, Here's a couple more thoughts to ponder. In addition to the panels you've outlined, and due to the angle of your "side wall/ceiling" and "center section ceiling" areas around your mix position, you might want to consider putting up a few more panels (see attached.) Being that you are on the second floor, I would suggest considering the amount of weight you will be introducing to the structure. Here's a few more bits of info I've gathered on setting up your mix position. - monitors should not sit on the console but behind, placed on heavy decoupled stands - console placement causes early reflection problems in most cases, unless the console is slanted down in front a LOT. - distance to wall behind speakers will change response drastically - there is a wall bounce calculator on the Acoustics forum that's fun to play with (needs Excel) - Moving either speakers or your head by as little as an inch or two can sometimes make drastic changes in response, due to modal peaks and dips. - Roughly 38% of the total room length from the front wall - Equilateral triangle formed by left, right mix position - Monitor angles 60 degrees - Monitor height – woofer at ear level (avoid mid point of floor to ceiling measurement – either sit higher or lower if necessary) - Angled side absorption panels – left/right of mix position - cloud over mix position If angling walls and ceilings: - Side walls 6-12 degrees - Ceiling 12 degree slope Here's a couple of good places to start for ideas: SAE Website: http://www.saecollege.de/reference_material/index.html (be sure to click on the acoustics, absorbers, construction tabs at left, and tabs that appear at the top of the pages) Wall Units - http://www.johnlsayers.com/HR/index1.htm Recording Studio Design Forum Reference Area: http://johnlsayers.com/phpBB2/viewtopic.php?t=2125 More Useful Links: http://www.johnlsayers.com/phpBB2/viewtopic.php?t=1168 If you care to check out a couple of recent threads using these absorbers, try here: http://johnlsayers.com/phpBB2/viewtopic ... ght=#15598 and here: http://johnlsayers.com/phpBB2/viewtopic.php?t=4091 Hope this helps, Aloha 8)

kendale - WOW....your reponse is much appreciated. I have to wonder how much weight all of this abosorption will introduce into the second floor room.....I believe as long as I mount my frames (I'm framing most of the panels) to studs in the wall, I should be okay.

According to some new acoustical studies the angle between monitors is now proposed to be 30 degrees

Aloha, Yes, that is what I mean, as in from the listening position, it's 60 degrees; which is technically 30 degrees each when building. My apologies if I was not very clear on that. Aloha 8)

Aloha, I found a pic of what I was trying to describe. http://www.saecollege.de/reference_material/index.html (construction tab, speakers) Hope this helps, Aloha 8)

Kendale, I've found that with some sites (like SAE) you can RIGHT click on a tab, choose "Open in new window", and the direct link will open up - like http://www.saecollege.de/reference_mate ... eakers.htm Cuts down on a bit of typing... :? Steve

Aloha Steve, Awesome! Thanks for the tip, Steve! Aloha 8)
