"A lot can go wrong when you’re setting up a Mixing Room. The wrong speaker placement or listening position can throw off your frequency response and cause your mixes to suffer. Here’s a few things you should avoid doing when setting up your mixing room.
Avoid sitting next to back and side walls. The back wall especially will have a lot of energy bouncing off of it and standing waves can build up next to surfaces that will throw off your frequency response.
Don’t place your speakers in cabinets or mount them in the wall unless they were specifically designed for it. Doing so can drastically change the response curve.
Avoid placing your sub in the corner of the room. While this produces the more output it also creates the least even frequency response.
Don’t use a screen so large that it forces you to compromise your speaker placement or listening position. Always prioritise the seating and speakers first, then see what size screen fits in your setup.
Don’t use your main speakers at full range. There’s a reason why people use subwoofers. The bass produced between your speakers is almost never in the right location in the room for smooth bass reproduction. Cross your speakers at about 80hz so that you can place your main speakers as needed and move your sub around to find the best bass response. Don’t use your main speakers at full range.
Just quick recap, Avoid sitting next to back and side walls. Don’t place your speakers in cabinets or mount them in the wall unless they were specifically designed for it. Avoid placing your sub in the corner of the room.
Don’t use a screen so large that it forces you to compromise your speaker placement or listening position. "
