I would also recommend the Cardas.dimensions. Cable Company uses the Cardas formula in all of their listening rooms. Every time I go there, I'm always impressed with how good their rooms sound.
Best Ratios for a Newly Constructed Listening Room
Hey there all,
I have an open basement, above ground, and I'm looking to complete a suitable and dedicated listening room. Unfortunately my ceiling will be limited to almost exactly 7'3" in height by the time I install a floating ceiling. The widest I can make my listening room will be 14' and the depth (length) limited between 14' and 20'.
Any ideas on the best possible room dimensions?

when i built my house and my music room i researched this... the dimensions are as you would prefer, depending on your use for 2 channel or more, HT or just audio etc etc main takeaway is the avoid square dimensions and any dimension that is a clean mutliple of another like 12 x 12 x 9... that is a recipe for standing waves/nasty resonances i went with 19 x 17 x 10 ft ceiling |
Best thing may be a sloping ceiling. There are LOTS of design issues that should be addressed. You can start with: Master handbook of acoustics / F. Alton Everest ; Ken C. Pohlmann. try to get the latest ed. |
