How do these room dimensions look????


I am about ready to start on a new listening room that will intail making my garage/studio larger. I am limited in length and width to 19x15. I am planning to have a ceiling height of 10 feet sloping to 8 feet. The only dimensions I can play with is the 10 foot height (I could go to 11 or 12 feet sloping to 8). I know there are some good minds out there in Agone land regarding these issues......... any thoughts would be greatly appreciated.

As Sean said you want to avaid piling up axial modes and use room dimensions that achieve as uniform of a distribution as is possible. There are a number of recommended proportions by various authorities that have been found to be favorable for Height/Width/Length:

Boner:H 1: W 1.26 :L 1.59

Sepmeyer: H 1: W 1.28 : L 1.54

Louden H 1 : W 1.4 : L 1.9

Volkmann H 1 : W 1.5 : L 2.5

Play with those proportions using your dimensions.
They are all fully discussed in the Master Handbook of Acoustics by F. Alton Everest, pgs 275-280. There are many other issues too and the Everest book is worthwhile for general theory and only a few bucks. It is very readable.
