Control Room Construction

Post by RobinJacobsson »

Hi!

I have plans to build a studio (at least a Control/Mixing Room), in a small village with no traffic close to the building.
I would like to spend at most $25.000 for the foundation and material included absorbers and things inside. I will get help from a carpenter so the work is not included.
One option is to extend the house as a basement and build it under groundlevel so I dont need to pay for the exterior/outer walls and roof.

I have read alot about ratios and such, but could you give me more advices on things i need to be aware of and take into account? (Volume, Angles and so on...)

Should I build it rectangular after the ratios and modify the room with basstraps, absorbers and diffusers or should I build it with other angles also than just a 90* rectangular room angles?

Thanks!

Okay, I hope you are satisfied with my edits. As a start I would like to be pointed in the right direction, like the shape of the room and things to be aware of when building a control/listening room from scratch.
I have read alot and I know that there are no "perfect" ratios but as I said, I need advices how to start. I will probably use small monitors like Adam A7X and a Sub and/or Genelec 1030's or similiar.
