Air Con in the studio, advice please.
Yesterday I ordered my split air con system as it gets way to hot in the control room now a days and I will be installing it next week. I’m wondering where is the best place to have the indoor unit?. In front of me so it blows into my face. The rear wall so blowing on to the back of my head when mixing or on one of the side walls blowing across the studio.

Re: Air Con in the studio, advice please.
Is there a distance difference between in front or behind you? Personally, I would want it further away(so it wasn't blasting my head). In either case, if it would be blowing right at me, I would probably hang a baffle to deflect the air(it should still do fine cooling the room)

In front there is no distance, behind me is the furthest distance I’d say probably about 8 - 10 foot from my head

So above mixing desk in front of me then. I just thinking I don’t want to be mixing in a Gail force wind though, but I need to keep the studio cool

Re: Air Con in the studio, advice please.
Depending upon the brand I think but my mini split has a quiet mode for the fan, and a body heat sensor. The sensor can tell if someone is in the space and direct heating or cooling accordingly.
It also has a timer so I can kick it up before I use the space to heat/cool it then it kicks down to quiet mode. The air flow is constantly changing direction also. The vanes move in customizable patterns so it never blows on me. Quiet mode is quiet but not silent. Mine is a Mitsubishi BTW.

If you keep the door closed while working, then it won't matter

Yes the door will be closed most of the time. The one I’ve ordered is this model, has lots of good features

I have a Mitsubishi minisplit in my studio which is actually a bonus room over the garage. It has central heat and air, but got too hot in the summer. Anyway, the thing is super quiet and cool!

Re: Air Con in the studio, advice please.
Just don't put the in-room unit where it blows directly on the back of your neck or on the side and blowing right into one of your ears. Why the back of the neck warning? Simple - too cold for too long and you'll eventually have some neck pain (happened to me). As to the ear deal - one of my ears got messed up so bad I had to go to the doctor. An anti-inflammatory & antibiotic helped take care of that.
