I'm 5'8", so I can definitely give up some height.

I notice that these GIK traps can be customized with a membrane that is different to accommodate 80hz to 20 khz. Would I want to use the lowest possible, or can i stick with full range broadband? The options are full range broadband, scatter plate or range limiter.

Hi everyone,

I've got my small studio desk set up in my finished attic. Because it's a finished attic, the dimensions are long and narrow. The length runs the whole of the house, so 58 feet (17.6m) and the width is 12 feet (3.6m)

The studio monitors are Adam S2V.

There is some acoustic treatment in the back section of where I've set up.

In the pics I've attached you can see the grey panels which are 2.5" thick (6.35 cm), and there are bass traps in the corner that are 33cm x 33cm and 121 cm (4 ft) tall.

In my attached Sonarworks readout, you can see that I've got ~ 15db null around 100, 110 hz. I tried switching my desk from the long wall to the short wall and this STILL persisted. I am fairly sure this is SBIR at work as well, since before I was able to have the desk and monitors pushed back further on the wall; however, I have a rack mount synth which is very deep in the desk now, which necessitates that the desk be pushed out from the wall, and then the monitors too (otherwise, if they are on the wall, the desk and computer monitor interfere.)

What are my options here? Would it make sense to load up on 4",6" or 10" treatment/panels on the back wall, versus the 2.5" that are there now?

Any input is greatly appreciated.

Thanks!

As i don't like to use correction for nulls I tried a lot of different positions. None of them solved the problem.
I tried using a sub close to my listening position in between the two monitors and that solved the null completely.
It did increase my decay time in the lower frequency.
Hope this helps.
