01

Begin with the everyday room

Choose a comfortable place that leaves walkways and doors clear. Avoid moving equipment into a precarious position simply to perfect a diagram.

02

03

Keep the controls reachable

Make it easy to change a side, lower volume and put the record away. Route cables safely and give equipment the ventilation its manufacturer requires.

Do I need a dedicated music room?

No. A comfortable seat and a safe, accessible setup can work in a shared space.
