Acoustic treatment, Small room w/ very slanted roof

Matn · 30th November 2009

Hey guys. I'm planning to get some acoustic treatment done to my small room. I'm only going to mix, or perhaps record line instruments, so no acoustic recording at all. My main concerns are the very slanted roof, and the near-cubic dimensions of the room (321x325x238 cm :( ) I was thinking of placing 4" absorbers in all corners, and behind the desk. Any other critical position I should consider? How should I position the desk in the room for the optimal listening position? The pictures show my current setup. Thanks in advance..!

PS Excuse any grammatical errors, Im not a native english speaker DS

You are going to want to face the slant so the reflection goes to the back of the room. Putting absorption in the front is fine but you want THINK (I like 6") absorption behind where you sit (the back wall). See the following as a guide for set up.

He meant THICK not THINK.

Yes, basically.... 'What he said'.

You will not be able to eliminate the standing wave problem, but with proper treatment you may be able to get it under control... and deal with what's left.
