studio placement in the room ?

edited February 16 in Other

I have moved my studio and in one way I like the direction and working under the skylight, but at other times I think I might focus better if working to the wall. Maybe I’m crazy, but feel direction and room environment is key to how we work and produce. Also, the entrance way to my room is towards my back. I’m curious which direction would you place your setup? Maybe those who believe in Feng Shui would better understand me. I also have my iPad studio to my right of by DAW setup.

  • Nice looking setup. Looks good to me. But If your current setup is bothering you then a change would be worth testing out. If you moved it, would the sunlight from the window glare on your monitor? Also, would such a change alter the speaker monitor balance in the room? I have my setup in front of a window, but it inspires me because it overlooks the woods and a quiet stream. 9 deer walked in front of my window Tuesday.

    Thanks for your insight. I think I might just keep it and feel maybe it’s just the winter that’s bothering me. I like the light actually, so it’s maybe the best direction. You must have a relaxing ambiance..

  • Personally I lay out my studio according to how the acoustics in the room are affecting what I hear first and foremost. The Studio SOS series from Sound On Sound magazine have a lot of good idea for room layout issues too. Free online for issues over 6 months old.

    How much do room acoustics in the low end matter to you? If your room is a rectangle and you're using the oblong layout, the second quarter is usually the best spot, and you have enough room to keep the speakers away from the walls and can avoid a thickening of the sound by the room.

    If you place the speakers along the longer side they could be to close to the wall, as well as your seating position which increases the effect (best is to avoid wall proximity).

    I think the sound acoustics are ok in how the room is now. The room is a rectangle with a fair amount of space behind me.
    If I worked on the left/ right side, the wall distance is much less. I now have my monitors not on the desktop, but on raised speaker stands from the floor.

    I think you lay out your studio based on where you can manage to squeeze in those huge monitors :)

    Your speakers may have a LF trim switch which can help for closer wall placement. I'd try it out.

  • I actually used to use my smaller KRKs , which are on the left side dj area. . Maybe they would fit the room better. I actually have had them for over 20 years.

  • I had a similar problem in my old flat, there I went with closed passive 3 way speakers from the 80s which were designed to be placed directly in front of a wall and were quite neutral sounding (Canton GLE) in combination with an amplifier.

    I guess your Kirks don't have the bass-reflex like the JBL? If not then they're probably better for close to wall placement.

    I will check the JBLs. I also have these smaller IK speakers which sound good. This is my right side ( iPad setup).
