It won't deal with all the SBIR but likely enough to be workable and give you the added height for bigger monitors. It would be pretty simple and cheap to mock it up and measure the difference in response. The added benefit is that it could be built into additional bass trapping.

A 1x1.3 meter hardboard panel will give you enough of a boundary and if the ceiling is similar to mine, will help reduce the interaction with the corner that is the kneewall/ceiling junction. I've left the middle portion open in the treatment of the front wall just so I can build out a hybrid trap/boundary panel if I decide on something more midfield.

So I did a lot of testing and mocking up various ideas. I am in the middle of a redesign of my attic studio space but what I have for monitors are temporary. If you have a pair of monitors you like, one option you have is to build what would be considered a hybrid soft soffit of sorts. I am a musician and composer of mainly jazz and classical music. Of course I don’t want to make a step backwards in my main monitor system.įor me is very important, that besides a ‘pleasant’ neutral image, the monitor is absolutely quiet (no amp-noise, tweeter hiss, hum or whatever) and optimal shielded for RF-noise. Both the Focal and Genelec have a 6,5 inch woofer, the PSI 7 inch (the BM15a has a 10 inch woofer). This options seem to be a step backwards compared to the BM15a, but I'm not sure about that. My budget is about 2000-2500 euro for a pair.Ī) Focal Solo 6 BE (+ my own T10 subwoofer)Ĭ) PSI Audio A17-M (a little above my budget) I use them now in combination with a Presonus Temblor T10 subwoofer, all calibrated with Sonarworks Reference 4.Īfter reading a lot of reviews I cannot decide what new pair of monitors I should buy. So, I decided to sell my monitors, although they sound very good. My room has been acoustic treated.īecause of that slanted roof, I have almost no room for my monitors (Dynaudio BM15a). My new studio is on the attic (3,5 x 4,5 meters and maximum 2.3 meters high) with a slanted roof.
