InTherapy Studios control room

Disregard the measurements in the last post. I have found yet another faulty cable (ONE strand of copper was touching ground within the XLR plug from time to time.
I'm finishing up some more treatment of the room, and have also added an Adam SUB 8 to the soup. Also having a 2x2u rack made to place on the desk for even better symmetry in the mix position.

Will do correctly calibrated measurements as soon as the last pieces are in place.

Although I just remembered I have one question;
Where would it be optimal to place the subwoofer? Normally I would place it in line with the speakers, but that's not really an option du to the speakers being soffit mounted.

Where would it be optimal to place the subwoofer?

Good subwoofer placement is not an easy thing to achieve. One method is to place the sub on a stand exactly at the mix position, where your head will be when mixing, play music, then walk and crawl around the front of the room like that to find the smoothest spot. The problem with that method is that you are not hearing the main speakers correctly like that, since they are optimized for the mix position. But it can help to get you in the general region for the sub.

The best method I have found is to move the sub around in a grid pattern across the front of the room, in small increments, taking REW readings at each location, then analyze all the REW data to find the best location.

Of course, that assumes that you already have the room completely treated, and the mains fully calibrated.
