Hello! My room is oddly shaped. I live in a studio apartment, so I have to make room for sound equipment alongside my bed, dining table and the rest. This, when coupled with the odd shape, leaves me in a doozy of a situation acoustically.
It seems regardless of where I place my speakers I get a gross bass boost right at 130-135hz. This makes mixing inaccurate and listening to music often annoying (sounds like some idiot with a poorly-tuned car subwoofer at a traffic light) Recording isn't as important for me since I do most of it somewhere else, but I like to mix here and so I'd like to fix this.
Problem #1: I rent, so I can't stick anything on the walls.
Problem #2: This frequency is low, and thus I'll need something hefty.
Problem #3: Space is limited.
Here is a rough outline of the corner where my computer and listening station are located:
(click here for image if it doesn't post inline)
The lines with circles are my speakers, with my monitor (flatscreen) in between. The bigger corner is about 2 feet wide and the smaller one about 10 inches. I don't have measuring tape anywhere handy, sorry!
Three out of 4 corners in the room have this similar shape, making for a total of 7 corners in the room. I notice a complete lack of bass when I walk into the flat corner (diagonally across from where my computer is).
: This is what it sounds like in front of my speakers. I put my ECM8000 about three feet in the center of my speakers and ran a sweep from 110 to 220hz and a slow sweep from 120 to 140hz. The problem should be very obvious in the slow sweep!
Any ideas for solutions? Any help at all is greatly appreciated! Thank you!
