Thougts on my booth

Post by Jan Holm »

Hi All

Reading throug all earlier posts and trying to do plans
for my future booth. I am especially in doubt about
the ceiling and floor. Slots tuned for lower mid. Would
this work ?

wow it's small Jan :) Firstly - surely you can make it wider relative to you whole plan, a meter lost from the studio would make a big difference to the control room. At least angle the window wall to break up the parallels. I'd stagger the slots so you don't have slots opposite the window as per attached pic

Hi John

Yeah, it's little and haven't even been sick :lol:

It's going to be used for VO jobs and some singing.
I'm going to have my living room just beside the
studio. My living room is one big angle :shock:
Containing 2 floors, don't really know how to describe
it. But a big section of the acctic floor has been pulled
down so that the living room is in 2 levels. 70 sqm.
I am looking forward to experiment with instrument and
maybe vocal recording there. But I need a booth to do
VO's and speech recordings.

If I put angeled slots on the window wall, what should
then be put on the opposite wall ?

I'm not sure you have enough room for angled slots Jan - I'd go with what I suggested. You could put some angled slots in the front corners if you want to increase your slot area which would be a good idea in a small room like yours. Just make sure the rear wall is nice and dead, maybe a double layer of insulation.
