Sphion Studio Layout

Hi all This summer I will be building a "garage" which will house my future studio and a small workshop. Neighbours are not a problem. It's for composing (software instruments) mixing and recording a lot of voice overs. I would love some fresh experienced eyes on what I've come up with. My take on the walls is just for "dummy purposes. Nothing is set with the inner walls. I dont like my back against the door and would like visual contact with the booth. The control room follows the Sepmeyer ratio. Is there another better way to use this space ? Thanks in advance EDIT - Been reading up on alot of things. My monitors are Dynaudio BM15 passive which I love. But looks like soffit mounting them is a bad idea. Too bad when my door is in the front, would be easier to pass the desk/console area if they we're in the front wall.

looks like a decent design. maybe put the monitors on stands where they are in the soffit example and build a trapping soffit over the door and monitors to add the bass trapping. some flatter porous absorption on the walls behind the monitors and on key reflection points.

Hi Gulfo Thanks - would this be okay for these speakers even though they are not meant for soffit mounting. Would be nice to have them out of the way - and I also like these monitors with a some distance. The problem with a soffit mount and a hard surface arround the speakers seems to be extended bass - but if it is placed within a "corner basstrap" that shouldn't really be a problem ?

it depends on how the monitors react if surrounded by a bass trap as opposed to soffit... it might work. still, i think the overhead soffit for trapping and just using porous flat absorbers on either side of the door behind the monitors is going to give you the space you need, the trapping, and not potentially alter the speaker response. you could always build out the trapping around the monitors afterwards.
