Switchcraft · 11th January 2010

Hey all,
I redesigned that same space with Wes Lachot's EQ magazine geometry as a guide.
Wes Lachot Design || Studio Design and Acoustic Consulting

His room was designed for 8' so I scaled the geometry down to 7' 2" and came up with this design.

I also bumped out the front corner a bit.

There is a window in the back of the house that will land off center behind the console. I figured I would put a piece of glass or fiberglass with holes in it to span the whole top rear of the wall to maintain a mirrored L-R Design. I do not want to cover up that window and that is the only way I can see addressing that issue.
Any other ideas?

I had to angle the room to that side of the basement because there is a drainage pipe and other mechanicals that I need to access on the right side.

I added a little bit of a live room to the rear of the control room.
This wall will have electrical and mic lines for the live room.
I may try to add diffusers on that wall with holes so that you can see through to musicians on the other side. Obviously, I am not looking for any isolation

Question.
Would it make sense to build out those front corners so that I could soffit mount my Focal Twin Be's? Usually only large Main's are soffit mounted. Would it make sense to do that as well?
Thanks in advance.
