Re: [SurroundSound] Ideal Space and Set-up for Multichannel Music Performance and Composition

Yamaha NS-10's are notoriously not flat, but they do have good time domain performance.  You can see that here

http://www.soundonsound.com/pdfs/ns10m.pdf

and read about them here

http://www.soundonsound.com/sos/sep08/articles/yamahans10.htm

 

Reportedly their FR get flatter if they are placed on the ridge of a big mixing board ...a typical location for them in recording studios, where they're used as nearfield monitors.

 

I wouldn't use them for home audio.

The studio I sometimes support uses LSR6328http://www.jblpro.com/catalog/general/ProductFamily.aspx?FId=6&MId=5 , five of those with the associated sub. They come with tuning instructions, tones, and a meter to EQ each speaker separately. This is in  small 15' x 15'?) mixdown room. They sound great. When you get into monitors that don't sound "good" because they are too "flat", that's like the Yamaha NS-10, they are favored because if a mix sounds good there it will sound better on other speakers, sort of a confidence check. The JBL's really are flat, but bigger. We based placement on Dolby standards.

There is a performance space/studio next to the control room, but it would not be advantageous to have the critical mix system in there because it is a big room and the room would affect perception of the sound too much. I would guess if it was deadened with treatments it would loose some of the charm of a live room.

I know I would like to have the best of both rooms in one, but it seems it would compromise each of them. Now if there was only one room available, compromise would be necessary. Or, if there were no acoustic sounds being recorded, the room wouldn't matter at all.

Hi Ricky,
I'm sure there will be varied responses.

Are you aware of the surround setup information on THX.COM?

Regards Rob

Hi all,

A conversation starter of sorts; two very different multichannel loudspeaker applications, which I am hoping to implement in the near future. What would your ideal floor size and room height be for an 8-channel multi-channel surround sound system for both music performance and composition applications?

All the best,

Ricky
