This article aims to give you practical advice and tips on the most crucial aspects of your home studio setup in order to create an ideal production environment.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Before starting, some of you are most certainly proud owners of QSC K.2 Series\u2122 active loudspeakers that you have used for live performances, gigs, event productions or parties. Have you ever noticed that in the eleven Presets featured in K.2 Series, one of them is called \u2018Studio Monitor\u2019? Our loudspeaker engineering team developed this preset having your Home Studio in mind! This \u2018Studio Monitor\u2019 Preset features an extremely flat frequency response \u2013 a key specification for a quality studio monitor \u2013 and a very tight low-end. With this preset, the aim is to give you a reference loudspeaker that will reveal the truth about the audio you are monitoring, without adding or removing anything form the content you are producing.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Now, let\u2019s look at your room and its setup and follow few simple steps to optimize your production environment. Always remember that what we hear is the combination of our listening ability, the actual loudspeaker&#8217;s performance and the room acoustic.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Identifying Your Listening Area<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>1.&nbsp;Whenever possible orientate your setup (front-to-back) along the largest room dimension.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>2.&nbsp;&nbsp;Next, find the left-right symmetry axis of your room and make sure the listening position is located along that axis.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>3.&nbsp;&nbsp;Divide your room from front to back into three equally sized areas &#8211; front, center and rear \u2013 and place your home studio gear in the \u2018front\u2019 area. Then, try to place the listening position right at the beginning of the \u2018center\u2019 area, avoiding to be sitting right along the dotted line marking the third of the length of your room.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>4.&nbsp;&nbsp;Resonances between your room\u2019s hard surfaces are called standing waves or room modes. These resonances always exhibit sound pressure maxima at the surface. So, always try to place the listening position at least 1 meter (3.3 feet) away from any walls to avoid such pressure-maxima areas.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\"><figure class=\"aligncenter size-large\"><img decoding=\"async\" width=\"510\" height=\"580\" src=\"https:\/\/blogs.qsc.com\/app\/uploads\/sites\/3\/2020\/04\/Fig-1.-QSC-Blog-April-2020_Home-Studio-Setup.png\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-2209\" srcset=\"https:\/\/blogs.qsc.com\/app\/uploads\/sites\/3\/2020\/04\/Fig-1.-QSC-Blog-April-2020_Home-Studio-Setup.png 510w, https:\/\/blogs.qsc.com\/app\/uploads\/sites\/3\/2020\/04\/Fig-1.-QSC-Blog-April-2020_Home-Studio-Setup-264x300.png 264w, https:\/\/blogs.qsc.com\/app\/uploads\/sites\/3\/2020\/04\/Fig-1.-QSC-Blog-April-2020_Home-Studio-Setup-250x284.png 250w, https:\/\/blogs.qsc.com\/app\/uploads\/sites\/3\/2020\/04\/Fig-1.-QSC-Blog-April-2020_Home-Studio-Setup-158x180.png 158w, https:\/\/blogs.qsc.com\/app\/uploads\/sites\/3\/2020\/04\/Fig-1.-QSC-Blog-April-2020_Home-Studio-Setup-440x500.png 440w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 510px) 100vw, 510px\" \/><figcaption><em>Figure 1. \u2013 Appropriate placement for the listening position and the loudspeakers in a home studio room.<\/em><\/figcaption><\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Placing Your Loudspeakers<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>1.&nbsp;&nbsp;To achieve an accurate stereo reproduction, the angle between the left and right loudspeakers should be 60\u00b0 degrees and both loudspeakers should be aiming towards the listening position.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>2.&nbsp;&nbsp;The recommendation for the height placement of a studio loudspeaker is ear level, usually between 1.2 to 1.4 metres (4 to 4.6 feet) from the floor. Placing the loudspeaker higher with a slight tilt can minimise floor reflections. This can easily be done with QSC K.2 Series as all three loudspeakers feature dual pole cup mounts providing standard and 7.5 degrees down-tilt. Additionally, always make sure that, the maximum tilt angle is equal or less than 15 degrees to avoid increasingly strong reflections from surfaces nearby the loudspeakers.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Avoiding Detrimental Reflections<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Hard, solid walls, ceiling and floor reflect sound and as a rule, the sound level at the listener increases when the reflected sound is in phase with the direct sound. Reversely, the sound level will decrease when the reflected sound is out of phase with the direct sound.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>1.&nbsp; If your home studio room surfaces have not been designed to diffract, or absorb incident sound energy, most of the reflected sound energy will leave reflective walls with an angle identical to the incident once. Consequently, it is best to avoid placing loudspeakers close to nearby sidewalls and the ceiling to minimize any strong reflections that could travel towards the listening position.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>2.&nbsp;&nbsp;When room dimensions agree with the sound wavelength, sound energy accumulates to form resonances. These resonances form standing waves in the room, with sound pressure maxima (high sound intensity) and minima (low sound intensity) in certain specific locations in the room depending on the resonance\u2019s frequency. Hence, the location of the loudspeaker in the room will affect how much the room mode resonances collect energy and how audible they become. If you face such challenge, moving slightly the loudspeakers may help to reduce the impact of these problematic room mode resonances.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>3.&nbsp;&nbsp;The listening position may also be unfavorably situated relative to room mode resonances. For example, if the listening position is located in a sound pressure minima (low sound intensity point), as you listen to audio in that location specific frequencies will appear to be missing and your mix may lack punch and dynamic. Moving the listening position forward or backward can help solving this problem.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"303\" src=\"https:\/\/blogs.qsc.com\/app\/uploads\/sites\/3\/2020\/04\/Fig-2.-QSC-Blog-April-2020_Walls-Reflections-1024x303.png\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-2211\" srcset=\"https:\/\/blogs.qsc.com\/app\/uploads\/sites\/3\/2020\/04\/Fig-2.-QSC-Blog-April-2020_Walls-Reflections-1024x303.png 1024w, https:\/\/blogs.qsc.com\/app\/uploads\/sites\/3\/2020\/04\/Fig-2.-QSC-Blog-April-2020_Walls-Reflections-300x89.png 300w, https:\/\/blogs.qsc.com\/app\/uploads\/sites\/3\/2020\/04\/Fig-2.-QSC-Blog-April-2020_Walls-Reflections-768x228.png 768w, https:\/\/blogs.qsc.com\/app\/uploads\/sites\/3\/2020\/04\/Fig-2.-QSC-Blog-April-2020_Walls-Reflections-250x74.png 250w, https:\/\/blogs.qsc.com\/app\/uploads\/sites\/3\/2020\/04\/Fig-2.-QSC-Blog-April-2020_Walls-Reflections-550x163.png 550w, https:\/\/blogs.qsc.com\/app\/uploads\/sites\/3\/2020\/04\/Fig-2.-QSC-Blog-April-2020_Walls-Reflections-800x237.png 800w, https:\/\/blogs.qsc.com\/app\/uploads\/sites\/3\/2020\/04\/Fig-2.-QSC-Blog-April-2020_Walls-Reflections-608x180.png 608w, https:\/\/blogs.qsc.com\/app\/uploads\/sites\/3\/2020\/04\/Fig-2.-QSC-Blog-April-2020_Walls-Reflections-1013x300.png 1013w, https:\/\/blogs.qsc.com\/app\/uploads\/sites\/3\/2020\/04\/Fig-2.-QSC-Blog-April-2020_Walls-Reflections.png 1205w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><figcaption><em>Figure 2. \u2013 Hard walls reflect sound energy.

A change in radiation space will affect the loudspeaker\u2019s output below 200 Hz.<\/em><\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>So, what should you do about this? Well, make sure that if your home studio loudspeaker is either against a wall or close to a corner, you reduce the bass level output, below 200 Hz or so, from a few decibels until the bass reproduction becomes clear, tight and punchy again. Excessive low frequency levels will tend to reinforce certain bass notes, create some resonances and a muddy audio mix with undefined dynamics. To reduce the low frequency response of your home studio loudspeaker, either use the loudspeaker\u2019s on-board EQ \u2013 as featured in QSC K.2 Series \u2013 or setup a shelving-filter below 200 Hz in your mixer \u2013 something very easily done in any QSC TouchMix digital mixers.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Annulation par le mur arri\u00e8re et placement des enceintes<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Let\u2019s look at another phenomena that occurs below 200 Hz. When there is some distance between a loudspeaker and the wall behind it, at the frequency where this distance is equal to one quarter of the sound wavelength emitted, the wall reflection is out of phase with the loudspeaker forward radiation. Hence, the sound reflected by the wall at this specific frequency will cancel the loudspeaker\u2019s forward radiation of the same frequency. At this specific frequency, sound level will be significantly reduced. This is called \u2018comb filtering cancellation\u2019 and, unfortunately, equalization of the loudspeaker\u2019s output does not help, as the same level change applies also to the reflected sound off the wall behind it.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"648\" src=\"https:\/\/blogs.qsc.com\/app\/uploads\/sites\/3\/2020\/04\/Fig-5.-QSC-Blog-April-2020_Back-wall-cancellation-1024x648.png\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-2214\" srcset=\"https:\/\/blogs.qsc.com\/app\/uploads\/sites\/3\/2020\/04\/Fig-5.-QSC-Blog-April-2020_Back-wall-cancellation-1024x648.png 1024w, https:\/\/blogs.qsc.com\/app\/uploads\/sites\/3\/2020\/04\/Fig-5.-QSC-Blog-April-2020_Back-wall-cancellation-300x190.png 300w, https:\/\/blogs.qsc.com\/app\/uploads\/sites\/3\/2020\/04\/Fig-5.-QSC-Blog-April-2020_Back-wall-cancellation-768x486.png 768w, https:\/\/blogs.qsc.com\/app\/uploads\/sites\/3\/2020\/04\/Fig-5.-QSC-Blog-April-2020_Back-wall-cancellation-250x158.png 250w, https:\/\/blogs.qsc.com\/app\/uploads\/sites\/3\/2020\/04\/Fig-5.-QSC-Blog-April-2020_Back-wall-cancellation-550x348.png 550w, https:\/\/blogs.qsc.com\/app\/uploads\/sites\/3\/2020\/04\/Fig-5.-QSC-Blog-April-2020_Back-wall-cancellation-800x506.png 800w, https:\/\/blogs.qsc.com\/app\/uploads\/sites\/3\/2020\/04\/Fig-5.-QSC-Blog-April-2020_Back-wall-cancellation-284x180.png 284w, https:\/\/blogs.qsc.com\/app\/uploads\/sites\/3\/2020\/04\/Fig-5.-QSC-Blog-April-2020_Back-wall-cancellation-474x300.png 474w, https:\/\/blogs.qsc.com\/app\/uploads\/sites\/3\/2020\/04\/Fig-5.-QSC-Blog-April-2020_Back-wall-cancellation-790x500.png 790w, https:\/\/blogs.qsc.com\/app\/uploads\/sites\/3\/2020\/04\/Fig-5.-QSC-Blog-April-2020_Back-wall-cancellation.png 1038w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><figcaption><em>Figure 5. \u2013 Sound cancellation phenomena due to a hard wall behind the loudspeaker.<\/em><\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p><br>Now, what can you do about this in your room? To avoid this strong cancellation try to first push the loudspeakers\u2019 back as close as possible to the wall. This will ensure that the low frequency output is not compromised. However, make sure you recall what was explained in the previous chapter about bass boost when a loudspeaker is placed close to a wall. Adequate adjustment of its low frequency response is necessary.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Alternatively, you could place your loudspeakers slightly away from the wall behind it, but always make sure that the distance from the loudspeakers\u2019 front to the wall behind it is equal or less than 0.6 meters (2 feet). This way, the low frequency reproduction will remain unaltered. Moving the loudspeakers further away from the wall may appear appealing if you have a larger room, but acoustically you will find it is a compromise, as the back wall cancellation effect described above will start to be very effective!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Conclusion<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>If it is highly practical and comfortable to rehearse, compose or record music in your home studio, it is also essential to remember that the acoustic environment of your home studio has a major influence on the overall sound quality of your productions. Walls, ceiling, and floor as well as large objects like mixing consoles, tables, equipment racks and furniture cause reflections that should be minimized as much as possible. Loudspeakers\u2019 placement in a small room is not always easy but there are few simple advices once can easily follow to make the best out of your QSC loudspeakers.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Last, but not least, remember that today most quality loudspeakers \u2013 including QSC models &#8211; are capable to play audio at significantly high levels. In a home studio, the listening distance is rather short, so one good measure to apply is to get a sound level meter, find some calibration tone (broadband white or pink noise) and set your loudspeakers so that the typical listening level at the listening position is 85 dB. All the best in re-organizing your home studio room and in correctly setting up your QSC loudspeakers!<\/p>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Confined due to the current global pandemic crisis, many of you are now rehearsing, composing and recording music in your home studio.
