R/E/P > Acoustics in Motion
Need an opinion on a small live room acoustics plan (3D sketch included)
woodnote:
Hi, i have a 3 x 3 meters room, and i want to turn it into a live recording room (just for recording, not mixing). i know the room size is bad and its kind of a cube, but thats what i got. also, unfortunately the closet you see must stay there.
all of the acoustic treatment is going to be DIY.
the room is going to be used for acoustic guitar and vocals.
the things you see on the walls with the horizontal lines represent QRD 1 dimensional deiffusers, and the other ones are rockwool absorbers. the diffusers would be with a design frequency of about 700-900Hz.
what do you think about the diffusers? will it help or am i better off with more absorbers instead? also, i can add more absorbers to this plan.
here are the sketches:
Thomas@Northward:
You should check the modal response with one of the many online tools ... It may well be that the main resonances in a 3/3 room are just in the middle of the lower voice frequencies. In that case, you'll have no other choice but heavily treat the room.

On another forum someone suggested that the best treatment for this kind of room is tuned slot walls on two adjacent walls and absorption the other two (after testing for the needed frequencies). do you think the same? i just wanna get another opinion.
boggy:
I agree with Thomas, you may heavily treat your room, if you find recordings unacceptable from this room without treatment.
After heavy treatment, if you still need some liveliness in your recordings use binary diffusers over your heavy absorption treatment.

What are binary diffusers? i only heard of QRD 1 and 2 dimensional diffusers. what makes the binary ones suitable for my situation?
