wall angles?

[fimpen]

I'm building a small two-room home studio. The control room will be about 3 m x 3,5 m and 3,2 m high. The live room will be a couple of square metres bigger with the same height.

I have read/heard that paralell walls are bad. Since I'm building from scratch it won't be a problem. Now I wonder how big the angle should be for example between the ceiling and the floor that it would make a difference. I guess that it has something to do with the wavelenght and the distance to the opposite wall (or the floor). Tell me!

I will submit some pictures of my project as soon as I get them scanned.

Thanks in advance,

Fimpen

I second that request. Anyone?

John Sayer's manual says 12 degrees. That's 12 degees for a ceeling or 6 degrees each from the center line for opposing walls.

John sold the manual to this site:

http://www.saecollege.de/reference_material/index.html

The keep moving it around on the site but if you go to http://www.sae.edu and look for "reference material", you can usually find it.

Don't even plan your studio before reading it.
