Hi guy's
Just about to move into a new house and thinking about my new listening room, or should I say what's going to be my room!
The room is approximately 5mts square, I know it's not ideal but we have to work with what's there. Two walls are unrendered brick, another wall is plaster board over timber frame. Still needs to be done so need the right board type...
The last wall will be a false wall to hide a roller door, yes this is a shed conversion. I was thinking this false wall could be built as a lossy wall to effectively make the room acoustically longer, how do we do this?
Once completed would you place the speakers on the solid wall or the false wall end of the room? Where ever I place the speakers they have different types of wall next to them so these will have different reflection properties. Is this an issue?
As the room is basically square is there anything else we could do to improve things? The room also doesn't have a ceiling yet, should this be built solid or do we want it acoustically transparent?
I was planning on using very heavy curtains to hide the roller door, while its a listening room we don't need to use this door.
Was thinking of placing the speakers up against the curtain covering the roller door, that way they still have some "air" behind them.
Many more questions to come but its a start, your thoughts?
Cheers
Appreciate your thoughts, starting from almost scratch so now's the chance to get it right.
