    Default Audio Room Formula

    I was sitting in a mates music room today asking about his room size as it was purpose built, so if you are building one from scratch, here is the formula.

    1= Height next is Width next is Length

    This is the IEC Rule to use where possible

    1 x 1.60 x 2.33

    So if your room is 8ft height it will need to be 12.8 ft wide and 18.64 ft long

    A note also says

    Floor to be wood over concrete
    All walls to be slighly asymmetrical
    Wall behind speaker to be concave
    Ceiling to be as solid as possible




    There are three other formulars to use if you can't make the above work

    1 x 1.4 x 1.9
    1 x 1.14 x 1.39
    1 x 1.28 x 1.54

    He can't remember what the IEC bit stands for

    I must ask my mate which formula he used when he did his.
    I know the first thing his wife said when she saw it was "the walls aren't straight Stef!"

    The whole problem with the world is that fools and fanatics are always so certain of themselves, and wiser people so full of doubts.
