Optimum Dimension Ratios for Small Rooms

Authors: Walker, R.

AES Convention 100 · Paper 4191 · May 1996

Abstract

The influence of room modes on low-frequency responses is discussed. A method by which some low-frequency -figure of merit- can be calculated for rooms of different shapes is presented. The method leads to a range of practical, near-optimum room shapes, without constraints implicit in a limited set of -golden ratio- criteria. The results have been incorporated into some international standards.
