Cancellation on about 50/70 Hz

After some measurements in my Studio Main listen position, I realized I have a cancellation of about 50/70 Hz. An suggestion on how to fix it?
Tnx

Bass traps, and or changing the monitoring position...

Agreed. Keep in mind though when you move you will find other areas that need correction. The goal is to move to find the best over all then put as many bass traps in the room as you can.
A few things to help.

Thanks. The cancellation is about 7/8 dB. Is it worth it making a correction?

If a correction is possible, then it should definitely be made. Plus... the cancellation is not your only problem, remember you are not trying to eliminate frequencies, you are trying to make your response as smooth as possible, by fixing certain frequencies, the rest of the room frequencies will also benefit... Get some GIK or Real trap bass traps, cheap and effective....

Honestly if you want to test the room then I would use something like REW. There is a lot of info you are missing just looking at it through that program.
REW - Room EQ Wizard Home Page
If you don't want to go through all of that then, as we said before, bass trap as many corners as possible. It won't be the "wrong" thing to do as you would end up doing it anyway.

I get a TON of emails every day so if you did not hear back from myself or Bryan within 24 hours then please PM me. It does not happen a lot but there are times when something could end up in junk mail.

I think I just saw it! Nice room BTW.
I am going to forward it over to Bryan, but will give him the heads up on this thread.
