taking useful measurements

laagman · 13th July 2011

I'm taking measurements of my empty room (home studio, no recording) and with different pieces of treatment. What are good spots to measure?

So far I've measured at the listening position and at the "lean back" spot (30 cm / 1 foot behind listening position). The microphone, pointing upwards, was placed at 125 cm (ear height when seated). I've measured the left and right speaker separately.

What other spots and methods do you guys suggest?

First of all, the room sounds very bad obviously. These results (listening spot) show big differences between left and right.

My current setup is assymetrical; the right speaker is facing a window, the left speaker isn't. Would this explain these differences?

apparently windows let low end thru them, and its shown by the right speaker waterfall..

but i don't know much, so..wait for the experts!
