Are you upgrading your studio? Let us know!

[@GuitarAlex]

Picked up some adam a5xs with the sub8, just cleared the room out so I can repair the walls (had a shelf fall down, and removing other shelves), then repainting, and eventually putting in floor to ceiling Bass Traps, and some 4'x2' first reflection panels! Unfortunately that part of the project is delayed due to waiting for Lowes to get the 47"x23" Safe N' Sound back in stock. Either way, can't wait for this project to be done! Hoping everything will be set in August!

[@BoombapArt]

Yes I am, or downgrading.. I’m not sure yet. Moving back home to my living room 😊

[@ADAMAudioBerlin]

@Alex Saad Awesome, Alex! Thanks for choosing ADAM Audio 👍

[@ADAMAudioBerlin]

[@BoombapArt]

@@ADAMAudioBerlin Absolutely! Now I’m planning out the new setup, where to put all the stuff.

[@squoblat]

I ended up stud walling the entire room and building the walls and ceiling as giant panels, then did some DIY panels for placement in reflection points and a cloud. It's worked out quite well so far. Bit of diffusion on the back wall. Taking measurements was fun, speaker placement is king as far as I've found with my room. I was lucky enough to have a loft space above the room that's now a giant bass trap.

[@ADAMAudioBerlin]

That sounds awesome 🔥 The little things can make all the difference!

[@eman0828]

Nice setup! I own the same Argosy Console Halo desk myself. I don't think anything can rival the build quality of Argosy's console desk which is reason why they are an industry standard in many professional control rooms.

[@ADAMAudioBerlin]

They are great desks! Thanks for watching 👍

[@davidaltizer]

Dude! This looks sick!

[@ADAMAudioBerlin]

Thanks, Dave! Glad you like it 👍

[@amanarakh6069]

Great video, but I kept trying to clean my glasses because I thought they were smudged, but then I realised that it’s a video edit thing…

[@ADAMAudioBerlin]

Thanks for watching!

[@thysamuel1356]

speaker placement is epic

[@ADAMAudioBerlin]

Glad you like it!🤩🙌

[@djtuff514]

What about the desk reflections from that argosy desk ? How do you treat those ?

[@uncleblak8556]

Questions about the set up on the panels in the corners. Would they be considered bass traps or used as bass traps?

[@RestLess-MinD]

very solid built .. quick QUESTION just for comparison : what are the size measurments of this room??

[@ADAMAudioBerlin]

Hi thanks for watching! The dimensions of the room are: 16' 5" x 11' 8" x 7' 11"

[@JuanJose-wt5yj]

Thanks for the video, I imagine that people will be realizing that treating a room with porous broadband absorption, it is very easy to do it without putting traps or resonators and on top of that the room is not dry (lack of treble). Curious frequency response from 5 Khz after so much absorption. From the video comments it appears that the absorbent panels are all broadband porous. Is it so or are there tuned panels? What measures does the room have in its 3 axes? Written with Google translate Greetings

[@noahk386]

man ya'll couldn't clean the lens before filming

[@callmetarif]

Foggy 😂

[@joshuabecker325]

I see most of the walls are parallel, were there any standing waves?

[@stephanechevalier4363]

Why did you favor S5H over smaller speakers and more acoustic treatment?

[@ADAMAudioBerlin]

Hi Stephane, because this will primarily be used as a speaker-demo space, we wanted to provide the ability to listen to our main monitors as they are not readily available to listen to in many spaces. Though it would have been nice to have a bit more treatment, we were able to really fine-tune the S5Hs for this room, even with it not being ideal. Thanks for watching!

[@thomaswhudson]

How would you hang a cloud on a room where two sides of the ceiling are slanted?

[@ADAMAudioBerlin]

Hi @thomaswhudson! for detailed requests regarding your studio acoustics, feel free to contact music city acoustics directly through their website: www.musiccityacoustics.com/ best regards, Jasper

[@justin.j.bowen.]

Are those panels hung on French cleats? Great idea! That what I was thinking of doing with mine. But if I want a big air gap behind the panel, how should I hang it on the wall?

[@thevaultrecordingstudio]

Hey. for my studio I used robust picture hanging hooks and eyelets screws. Just that added 2 inches of air gap. You can always add more distance by renforcing/adding more wood to the beam where your hooks go. That creates more distance from the panel and the wall! Best of luck

[@MusicCityAcoustics]

Those are French Cleats. When installing panels with an air gap behind them we still use the french cleats but will build a shelf like structure off the wall with L Brackets and 2x4s or 2x6s depending on the depth. If you need more info, send me an email at [e-mail]

[@justin.j.bowen.]

@@MusicCityAcoustics thank you! Sent you an email

[@rebel7332]

I have a question about my loudspeakers. Bower& Wilkins Matrix 3 s1. The mids I have replaced with the mid woofer from the matrix 2. Same size but somewhat smaller magnet. And now my bass is gone. How is this possible?

[@djdanger9812]

What monitors are those big boys, are they subs? Also no bass traps in the corners? I thought they were a must when treating a room?

[@MusicCityAcoustics]

Those are the Adam Audio S5hs. Corner bass traps can be great, they are a very effective way to control the decay time of a room. In this case with the size of the monitors and the need for multiple pairs of monitors when the room is being used as a demo room, we didn't have the space needed for corner traps. In order to be effective, they need to be quite large.

Hi Linda! Thanks for watching ! We will take your suggestion into consideration :)

Hi LUIS! The software is Room Eq Wizard (REW).

[@cornerliston]

How do you plan to deal with the 66 Hz dip? Is it possible to remedy with room treating or will you compensate that with EQ?

[@ADAMAudioBerlin]

Hi Corner, we were unable to really treat the corners or back of the room as much as we would have liked which would have certainly helped with that dip and mode. We will be adjusting the EQ here and there as we work in the room to make it as accurate is possible!

[@cornerliston]

@@ADAMAudioBerlin Many thanks

[@ADAMAudioBerlin]

@@cornerlistonThanks for watching!

[@DavidAronMusic]

​@@ADAMAudioBerlin A more effective design would have been soffit mounting of the monitors, you could have taken advantage of the unused space by placing a thicker layer of absorption in the space around the soffit, which would allow for more effective low frequency control in addition to the benefits soffit mounting provides, which would be beneficial in a room that small. I would have used the S3H which is more appropriate for the size of the room, the S5H is overkill. Next time you need a control room designed give me a call I can take a few pairs of the S series as payment ; )

[@jeffallen3382]

@@DavidAronMusic I was thinking the same thing. To me those monitors are over kill for such a small non purpose built studio room.

Out of curiosity what software was it that was used to design the studio build.

We use SketchUp Pro for all of our 3D modeling
