Studio Desk with treatment?

I'm currently building a custom desk based on the Sterling Modular similar to this one.



You can see, the sides of the desk are open, perhaps for airflow rather than acoustic reasons. I often wonder with these type of desks if it would benefit from having a thin high density rockwool slab where the opening is.

Anyone have an insight if that would be worse and cause build up of bass within the desk racks?

It won't cause bass buildup, in fact it won't have much effect on the bass at all. The long wavelengths (bass frequencies) will tend to simply diffract around objects in the room, even relatively large objects like the desk.

The main issue with treatment for a desk is to make sure you know what is happening with the high frequency reflections from the speakers. Most desks are angled to aim those reflections away from your ears.
