hi there i just wanted to ask if any of you great wizzards of the acoustic realm could give me some advice on what would be best speaker placement and acoustic treatement in order to get the best acoustic response for my studio. I make electronic music so this is basicaly what my studio consists of and its room dimensions and materials: ~ Length = 3.35 m ~ With = 2.90 m ~ Height = 2.90 m ~ Wooden floor = 9.71 m2 ~ Plaster Walls ( x4 - 1 with the door and 1 with the window) ~ Wooden Door = 2m x 70cm (back wall) ~1 double glass window (with space between both glass panels ) = 60cm x 1.55m ( front wall / opposing the wall with the door/ behind the speakers ) ~ 2 DynAudio BM-6A Active Nearfield Monitors ~ infront of the speakers is the computer ( double monitor ) and infront of it a Triton ( Korg ) keryboard. * this is all facing the long way of the room ( if you are facing towards the speakers the door is on the back and the window on the front both side walls are all plaster) -------------- thank you in advance
> some advice on what would be best speaker placement and acoustic treatement in order to get the best acoustic response for my studio. < That's an awfully broad question. There's a lot of great advice all over this site, so my best suggestion is to start by reading through the many posts here. Using Search will help further. There's also a lot of information about exactly what you're asking on my company's site, linked under my name below. Look in the Acoustics Info section. --Ethan
BG: Here are a few known effective devices you can build yourself inexpensively. http://forum.studiotips.com/viewforum.p ... 3a9a4d0ec4 I'd start by installing a pair of panels mounted across the diagonal of each corner running from floor to ceiling [or the use the SuperChunk design linked above] and then, use similar 4” panels to treat the first reflection points on the front wall, side walls and ceiling. If possible, hang all the wall /ceiling panels so as to achieve +/- 4” gap between the back of the panel and the wall / ceiling (the gap increases low frequency absorption). This will yield a treatment that has broadband absorption properties that will give pleasing results. Alternatively - buy factory made - there are lots of choices.
thanx for the advice man... i'll get cracking on it asap ;) any other suggestions or specifications would come in handy thanx again
