This paper discusses the acoustic design and performance of a new non-environment control room constructed at JMC Academy in Sydney, Australia. The design goals included a non-environment room at the mixing position, low reverberation times, a flat frequency response, and a half-space acoustic environment for optimal bass response. The design faced constraints related to the existing room shell and limited space for sound absorption. The research details the room's design features, including reflection-free zones, reverberation times, monitoring loudspeakers, and room structure, incorporating specialized Helmholtz absorbers. The study also presents measured acoustic performance results and observations of the listening experience in the room. The resulting room achieves high levels of performance in acoustics.
