John Sayers' Recording Studio Design Forum Archive

I've attached a sketch of how I propose to treat my control room and vocal booth. Internal room dimensions are 5.29m (l) x 2.10m (w) in the control room (back wall is 2.55m (w)) and 1.87m (l) x 2.10m (w) in the vocal booth. The roof is 2.4m high in both rooms.

Treatment in the control is:

- superchunks in all four corners
- mid/high absorbers at the early reflection points (walls and above desk)
- mid/high absorbers along roof above listening positioning
- mid/high absorbers on rear wall and above sofa's at rear of room
- deep bass absorbers at rear of room (parellel walls) next to superchunks (floor to ceiling)
- mid/high absorbers next to the deep bass absorbers on parallel walls at rear of room
- hi bass absorber on wall opposite entrance to studio

Treatment in vocal booth is:

- superchunks in front corners
- mid/high absorbers on side walls
- mid high absorber above mic position
- nothing on rear walls

Can anybody tell me if this looks alright?

Yes, that looks great.

agreed.

plus with this approach you can add additional absorption if you need it. like a heavy drape for the sliders that you can pull over when needed (1 in the CR, 1 in the booth far slider) to cut reflections off the glass.
