ABSTRACT
Two of the most important properties of a room are its size and shape, which directly
affects its low frequency behavior. Generally speaking, large rooms are better acoustically
than small rooms, because not only are the walls and ceiling farther away from listeners
and microphones, which reduces the strength of reflections, but in large rooms the mode
frequencies are closer together. Most acoustics experts recommend a minimum volume of
at least 2,500 cubic feet for rooms where music will be produced with high quality.
