BF, 10 July 2007Thank you to those of you who responded to my previous post. I think the B&Ws are going to turn out amazing in well designed soffits. We have been in the new house long…
BF, 11 July 2007Thank you kendale. I will be using a one-room control room/live room studio. My intent was to be facing the machine room to minimize the cable runs between the two…
BF, 12 July 2007It was not intended to be, I didn't bother fretting about door placement until I knew where I would be placing the rooms. I had not placed the studio against that wall…
BF, 22 July 2007I’m having a bit of confusion between a 60 ° vs. a 90 ° layout. I thought that I had seen it somewhere, but have been unable to dig the information up. How much distance…
BF, 22 July 2007I'm not sure if I explained the first question very well. Maybe the pics will help clarify. On a 90 ° layout, a 22.5 ° splay wall of any significance only leaves about 7…
BF, 23 July 2007I think I have landed on the 60 ° with the focus point at 1’ 6” behind the listening position. Everything with the soffits and splayed walls seem to fit in well. I need…
gullfo, 23 July 2007generally speaking, you want the speakers spread about 70% of the front wall width, and an equilateral triangle on 60 degrees between the speakers and listener - with…
BF, 24 July 2007Thanks Glenn. The width of the room is 10’ 6’. Currently the monitors are spaced 6’ 7” on center putting the focus 18” behind the listening position. I could achieve a…
BF, 25 July 2007Here we are with modifications according to your suggestions Glenn. The room width is 10’ 6”. The monitors are now centered at 7’ 4 ¼” (70% if I figured my fractions…
gullfo, 28 July 2007sorry for the delay... was busy having a new baby girl... 8) i think is in this case I'd ignore the (absolute) 70% rule because you also need to consider the effect of…
BF, 29 July 2007Awesome, congratulations Glenn! I won't hold it against you. :wink: I'll resize the width between the monitors to around 6'9", but can you explain what elements…
BF, 31 July 2007Great info from Bruce, think I have a handle on that now. Would still appreciate knightfly's formula if anyone can provide a link. Also had a thought. The walls will not…

BF, 1 August 2007Ok, here is the current update. Hopefully we are getting pretty close now. The monitors are spaced at 6’9” per Glenn’s suggestion, which puts the focus about 19 ½”…
gullfo, 2 August 2007part of the reason is the seating of the listener related to room length as well as ensuring enough soffit space - in your case, you can compute the soffit width based…
BF, 2 August 2007Thanks Glenn. The soffit wall as currently sketched is 48" wide. Will it be problematic to exceed the 32"-36" measure you have indicated, or are those intended to be…
BF, 6 August 2007We are looking to start work a week from today, so I’m probably going to start throwing out questions like a crazy. My intent is to keep everything contained in this…
BF, 7 August 2007Ok, I'm not sure if I have wrapped my head around the formula in this document. f3 = 4560 / WB in Hz where WB = width of the baffle in inches. The baffle in my plan is…
BF, 7 August 2007After searching knightfly’s contributions post by post I found the elusive formula. http://www.johnlsayers.com/phpBB2/viewt ... c&start=15 Now if I do the math with the…
BF, 7 August 2007http://www.johnlsayers.com/phpBB2/viewt ... highlight= knightfly's 2nd post on this page has the best info I have been able to find on puck requirements and testing if…
gullfo, 7 August 2007yes, the formula is for the compensation circuit which is also assuming a "perfect" size for the baffle. realistically, cutting that in half is probably correct. so if…
BF, 7 August 2007I would like a little clarification on corner resonator design. The DIY wall units page here shows two vertical layers of bats placed in the interior of the enclosure,…
gullfo, 8 August 2007i'll add an opinion - if the insulation is directly pressed against the front slats (or cloth) you may lose some efficiency so if your construction of the corner slats…
BF, 21 December 2007Now this information might be relevant, although I'm wondering if I should take it at face value based on your comment gullfo. I am trying to find the cut point at which…
