Fascinating. I am curious how the Height x Width x Length ratios work in non-rectangular rooms with angled walls? When you have a pentagon or hexagon shape, would the ratio for the width apply to the shorter or longer end of the room?
When you get into non-rectangular rooms, the traditional modal calculations don’t apply. There are various software programs that can model non-rectangular spaces - Olive Tree Lab is one example.
Thank you! Yes, this applies to metric measurements as well. It is all related to wavelengths and making sure that you don't have dimensions divisible by the same number will help immensely with your low frequency response. We appreciate you watching!
Hi Julian! Thanks for the great question. For the ceiling in a mixing room, angling it can be good as long as you retain symmetry down the center line of your room. For instance, it is good to angle the ceiling so that it is lower on the front wall (the wall that you face while listening to your speakers) and slopes up to the rear wall behind you. However, it isn't great to have an angled ceiling that slopes left to right because it messes with your symmetry. I hope that helps! Thanks for being a part of The S.O.U.N.D. Project!

Such an interesting video, thank you! Does the prime number consideration apply to metric measurements too?

Would you talk about slanted ceilings? Same principles as having only one angled wall? Thanks!
