Listening Room Ceiling

Sheetrock with a knockdown texture will add a nice finished look to the room.

Down side of rock over acoustical panels? Dropped suspended ceiling with lift out acoustical tiles allows future electrical or communications installations of floor above as well as your audio room.

You can put pink fibreglass batting behind sheetrock. It may help in the bass - easy and cheap to do.

Do you have any concerns about noise levels in the room above? If so, you should consider noise isolation approaches now. Drop down acoustical panels are inexpensive, but provide little or no isolation. Drywall is better, but with a few relatively simple addtional techniques isolation can be vastly improved. These involve Green Glue, 2 layers of drywall under the subfloor, R19 insulation, and 2 layers of drywall fastened to sound clips with hat channel.

Use yellow fiberglass behind the sheetrock. It's less expensive, and just as good, or better.
