The separation wall of my studio wil be made by 2 sheet rock 15 mm + 40 mm rockwool 70 kg/m3 and 50 mm air space and then 40 mm rock wool and 30 mm sheet rock.
But installing the door the installer want to do a better installation reinforcing the one of this walls with another sheet rock in the middle.
So the wall will be 2x15 mm sheetrock / 40 mm rock wool / 1x15 mm sheetrock/ 50 mm air gap / 40 mm rock wool / 2x15 mm sheetrock
what happens with this inner sheet rock?? is worse on isolation terms
Doors structure problem...

If I'm understanding your post correctly then the extra layer of sheetrock will create a 3 leaf wall which will worsen your low end isolation.
but if I don't use the inner leaf in all the wall?? only in the door place??
The "weakest link" theory applies - if part of your wall is weaker, you may as well make ALL the wall weaker.
Can you post some sort of sketch of what you're doing? Maybe there's a way to fix it that's better for isolation... Steve
2 pics of the door:
I'm adding up your dimensions, and come up with about 200mm total thickness; not seeing that in the pix. Can you add a drawing or explain more where your man want's to put a third leaf? Thanks... Steve
this is the draw of the double wall:
In the picture there is only one wall with the door, but there will be another wall with another door.
the 2nd wall is made... I hope I'll have no problems... the inner layer is not installed...
