Reshaping control room?
Posted: Tue Jan 04, 2022 9:58 am
I moved into my house about 4 years ago with an empty basement and a pocket (semi)full of cash. Instead of doing the smart thing and researching room size/shape/proportions, etc, I just built the largest room that I could within the pre-existing obstacles (i.e. support beams, staircases, plumbing, etc). After a few months of experimenting with monitor placement and acoustic treatment, I started having some serious builders remorse.
Anyway, I saw a picture today that got some gears turning. Right now my room is rectangular (10'6"x16'x6'7") and I've wished I had done something different with the shape of the room. I wanted to get everyone's thoughts on doing something like what he's done in the picture below. I guess it's almost like bringing some GOBOs into the room. I had also been kicking around the idea of fabric walls with some OC behind them aka A LOT of acoustic treatment in the front half of the room. I guess the question is, What would give better results: More acoustic treatment in a room with parallel walls or less acoustic treatment in a room with angled walls?
