Dedicated listening room

Hello, I am new here and I would like to get an idea of what size room to have built. I am thinking of a Tough Shed in the 12×24 foot or 16×20 foot size being built for a listening room . I am looking into getting Martin Logan speakers driven by some tube amps. It would be insulated and sheet rocked and I was looking into sound absorption for the sheet rock, then adding some sound treatment to the walls. I am not sure what size to go with, the 12×24 or the 16×20. Any input would be appreciated. Thank you. Jim

J, What is shed framed with? Is it 2×4, 2×6, etc.? What is ceiling height? Are there noise issues where the shed will be located. This is noise leaving the room and noise entering from outside noise sources.

The sheds are built here in Reno, NV and they are 2×4 construction, 7 foot walls, inside height is about 9 feet. should not have any noise issues other than dogs barking and I’m on a third acre, but I would like to keep any noise leaving the room down to a minimum. I’m stuck though on a longer, narrower room 12×24, or a wider room 16×20. Also should I put in a flat ceiling or leave it sloped. It does get hot or cold here in Reno and I want to keep the room comfortable. Thank you

J, You can’ not use 2 x 4 in any audio room. It can be fortified as an exterior shell wall. Thickness will be determined by noise frequency/amplitude. Your interior wall will need to be 12″ deep to deal with your noise leaving the structure and your low-frequency treatment space requirements.
