The horrendous table in my home-studio

Hello!

I have to say that I'm very new to acoustics and all its world. All I know atm is from video tutorials and reading articles of RealTraps.
The issue is that I have a table which has an irregular shape and I wonder if it could give some problem or problems about acoustic reflections.
The table (its back side) is situated touching the wall.

Plane of the table: ImageShack® - Online Photo and Video Hosting

Possible problem 1: The table, at the back, has a sort of hole in one half. I was wondering if it could create some kind of acoustic problem or unbalance between L and R.
My monitors are KRK RP5 which have the "Bass Reflex" at the front side.

Possible problem 2: On the front, has this irregular form which you can see at the image. The monitors are placed on the table about 20 cm. high on this (approximately). Will I get some imbalance between L and R, to have this irregular shape, or any other kind of problem?


I know you will say that the best solution is to buy a new table to avoid problems. I completely agree with you but at the moment this can not be and the room / table / furniture have to be what they are.

I hope you can help me! Thank you!

PD: Sorry about my poor english.

Seeing your room photos, the table is the least of your problems.

You could go and buy the most suitable desk for audio work that there is in the world. With the current state of your room, it doesn't really matter. The room itself is so irregular that it's very hard to fix it. But I'm sure you can improve it a lot.

Looking at your other thread I see you are starting right. First speaker placement then panels and bass traps.

I wouldn't worry about the table right now. You need to cover a lot of ground before the table becomes an important acoustical factor and frankly, given the physical limitations of your room, I don't really think it will ever be.

Don't get me wrong, I'm not saying that your room cannot be improved. It can! And you can get really acceptable results and have a lot of fun with your music.
