It's a job, perhaps one
of a few, perfectly suited for a 1/3 octave EQ.


That's a band-aid. You've addressed the symptom, not the problem.
Eliminating the problem passively not only prevents the symptoms, but
allows you to eliminate a potential source of noise & distortion.


What you propose is capturing the energy as it is being delivered into the
room. Fine, but its more effective to just reduce the amount of energy into the
room. It is true that traps and absorbers will have some effects on the Q of
room resonances but the fixed Q of a 1/3 octave equalizer seems ready-made for
this particular problem in drywall contruction. And even if it isn't a $300
Symmetrix 552E will give you 5 bands of parametric EQ.

I'm not against mechanical treatments (traps,absorbers) in applications but
they seem too expensive for a simple app like this.
