60 inches behind monitors
72 infront of them (facing me):






and they're Alesis M1 Active MKII's if that helps

whole room is:
ceiling, 3 metres high
3.5 metres deep (depth from this picture) and 4.25 metres wide

the monitors are 110 cm and 210 cm from the wall on the right (the one with the door to the bathroom)

K, I'll model something out tonight / tomorrow for you. Taking a look I'd say that the diffuser is the least of your worries..

+1

Your problem is bad symetry and combfiltering at n*110Hz and n*87Hz. Both will not be solved by diffusion.

You'd have to move your speakers (which you said was no option), get a bigger room or place absorbers in front and/or behind your monitors (which will definately lead to some other problems with your room response)

on the other hand... without a proper symetric listening position I wouldn't even think of wasting money to acoustic gadgets.

yikes. so much for a simple solution. how could I achieve a symetric listening position? move the setup to a different area? it's a bit difficult with all of the furniture and an L-shaped room

thanks for the response!

Symetric position does not only mean geometrically symetric but also acoustically. Reflected sound from walls should travel the same distance an should be modified (or not) frequency-wise in the same way from both monitors to your listening position. As long as you cannot ensure that, forget the diffusor. The furniture in such a small room will already give you more diffusion, altough not controlled in any way, than a single dedicated diffusor can provide.

As your room is anything but a studio and your monitors are mainly used for DJing, I'd say forget optimizing that room.

He's right, though I may be tempted to turn your setup around so the speakers are nearer the wall, but I don't think you can do that from your descriptions.. :-(

well, thanks for the heads-up guys. i guess i saved a bunch of money

Just turning the speakers will not remove the combfilter effect. Moving them closer to the walls will actually add to this until they are in plane with the wall or very, very close to this.
