Turning my kitchen into a control room?

11miles · 4th July 2009

Hey,

I got a hold of a complete Primacoustic's London z14 model absorbers, diffusers, and bass traps...

Plan to setup my kitchen as a control room for production, nothing fancy...

Want to achieve the best possible acoustics..., and i don't expect miracles...

So if someone has some ideas, how to put the diffusers, absorbers best, i would appreciate it.
I have all the info from their site off course, and they are very exact, but still some experienced ideas from you, would come in very handy.
For instance, the cloud ceiling position and size? the cloud i can put together and put on the ceiling is too big, my room is to small. Can too much of it hurt?

Attached a picture of my kitchen floor plan in sketchup, dimensions almost a square 3.70m x 3.65m

the right side of the room is where the kitchen is... sink, fridge... top and bottom drawers...Covering all the wall. not in the pic.

The back of the room apart from the window has a storage closet in the corner

You can't really have too much cloud above the mix position. But all that kitchen furniture rather limits the possibilities. I'd suggest you simply place what you have where it makes sense, and take a listen.

I'd also suggest contacting your dealer or manufacturer. They should hopefully have advice on how best to use their products.

My thoughts exactly. There's not a heck of a lot you can do in that room, so experimentation will be your friend. I also agree with James's suggestion...perhaps the manufacturer could help you out...?

Thanks a lot guys,

Though i didnt found out anything new, (and i mean that in a very respectful way)..

I contacted the manufacturer, got the email back in a half an hour, now they are designing the room i guess, but it takes forever...

Thought i ask around here...

Best, m
