Standing Wave Treatment

Ceiling will help...
Use rockwool....as deep as you can...
don't take the fluffy one use higher density...

First; identify the areas related to your modal issue:

Need help to tune my control room. (First Measures Included)

Your initial guess is probably correct, but why not dubble check. If tangential or oblique mode; you might find more or better areas to treat.


Then treat relevant areas using appropriate treatment options (pressure based or velocity based depending on if the area in question is an early reflection point or not and depending on the acoustic response desired) effective in the same frequency range as the modal frequency of interest.

First of all; density alone says little or nothing about the acoustic properties of a porous material. Secondly, the opposite is often true depending on thickness of the panel:

Acoustic Panel Stand
Low kg/m3 is worthless.

Thanks for the information and the great post! It's a lot to take in but I'll definitely give it some thought.

If you use the Porous Absorber Calculator you will see that it's not that simple.
Pink fluffy R13 or R11 can be fine, depending on lots of things.

Welcome Mike. You do have a typical 130Hz vertical mode.
I am not sure that you want to go making an overhead frame to hold fluffy or crumbly insulation over your head. In which case you could do what the commercial manufacturers do. Use rigid fibre panels. Fibreglass tends to be more rigid per weight, although Roxul gives full choices in this regard. The calculators do not take account of placement in corners or the damped panel drum head effect exhibited by rigid panels.
100mm 100KG Rock or Glass Wool should work fine for you. I wouldn't consider less than four for the cloud. Be sure to include a 100-300 mm airgap. You could include Space Couplers under the cloud.
It can be well worth doing another four or two in the ceiling wall corners, say between you and the speakers, over the side RFZ traps. This is a very simple ingenious frame design Best DIY Trap EVER

Fluff has usually gasflow resistivety of 5000 rayls which absorbs way deeper !.
@ 350mm thickness you already have aborbtion coefficients that go equal with each band bellow 100hz.
