Design of control room

[jhbrandt]

NONE. You're going to need to knock out some walls or fill the room with trapping so that there is only space for you to sit in a chair in the middle of all the thick trapping. Not very functional.

Seriously though, that room is NOT recommended for anything but a toilet. really. don't do it.

To make an NE room you will need at least 80-120cm of space for trapping all the walls and the ceiling - leaving you with about zero room for working.

do you have anywhere else?

My total space for the control room will be L:6m W:3m H:3m... any suggerence?

It would be a rectangle of those dimensions...

Can i get good mixes if use auralex room kit in this rectangle??

thanks for the comments!!

If you have any dimension that is the same or a multiple/dividend of any other, you will have low frequency issues. If the room is brick/block/cement, these issues will be multiplied.

Auralex panels are fine if you are not treating low frequencies. But if it is a control room, you must treat the low frequencies. They have corner traps, but I would recommend TWO of those foam traps for the corners. Turn them as shown in the drawing attached and place them floor to ceiling.

But first change the dimensions from 6 X 3 X 3 (LWH) to something like: Length = 641cm, by Width = 443cm, Height = 277cm. This will work fine, especially for a concrete room. Note that none of the dimensions can be divided by the other... (they are prime anyway)

Now, I know that the ideal is not possible in many situations but it is very important to make the dimensions work as well as possible for the LF spread as this foundational planning/process will affect everything that you will do after.
