Hi,

Here is a link to my business website (NZ Acoustics Ltd) where I have lots of products and advice for home and professional studio owners.

https://www.nzacoustics.com/

All small rooms have significant sound problems. They don't have a professional sounding reverberation instead they have very nasty flutter echoes and almost always have bad bass problems including the dreaded boominess around 120 Hz. So the answer is to take all the reverberation out of the room completely.

For a small room you need a minimum of:
- Ceiling acoustic panels at least 50mm thick
- Back wall panels to stop sound reflections back into your mic over your shoulders. You cannot place too many panels on your back wall.
- Panels at first reflection points to speed up your mixing

Always sing into one of the front corners of your room and make sure there are acoustic panels on both corner walls.

Speakers - don't use surround systems just use two high quality monitors pointing correctly down the long axis of the room. Speakers such as Focal can reduce another major problem with small rooms - uneven bass response at different parts of the room.

Please don't hesitate to contact me for further advice. We only supply our products in NZ but more than happy to help forum members with suggestions for their rooms.

Best Regards
Nigel
