Hi folks
I'm considering using a small room as a listening room. Before I get any further, here's a rudimentary diagram (not to scale!)with rough measurements :
The windows are 4' 6" off the floor, so the bottom of the window is about at the top of my head when I'm sitting. The wall where the windows are is also where the roof comes down, so there are triangular protrusions on either side of the windows (but not in between them) and the closet has a slanted wall starting about 4' 6" up off the floor.
Also, the ceiling heights change:
I'm thinking it would be best to place speakers on the window side of the room.
I figure the closet could become a giant resonator if I sealed the door properly, and might help a lot with the LF response of the room, in addition to other bass traps in the room itself.
Soooo, here are my questions:
1) Is the closet resonator idea worth pursuing?
2) If so, the closet would also be a where the computer lives, so there would be cables running through the door somewhere. If I sealed the door so that the only opening was right at the bottom, would that be a sufficient port for the "closet resonator"? Or would I be better off putting the opening elsewhere on the door, say at the middle or top of the door??
3) Can anyone foresee a big problem with the slightly angled wall at the back of the room? It's more shallow than it looks in the diagram, it's perhaps 20 degrees or so.
So far it seems like the room will need a heckuva lot of absorption, but I don't necessarily mind a dead room. Probably some diffusion at the back of the room would help things out a bunch.
I know the room is not ideal, I'm just trying to figure out if I can make it work.
Thanks in advance,
