helmholtz altered design?

i've been thinking (okay dreaming) about slot resonators during my studio design/build. . and i have an idea, maybe more of a question. first, let me state the factors involved in a slot resonator 1. slot width 2. slat width 3. slat depth 4. depth from wall If you are trying to build a broadband (lo-mid) absorber, it's common practice to vary the depth from the wall. . . I'm thinking about adding another "varied" factor- the slot depth. All of the designs i've been researching call for varying the depth of the slots PER slat. Why not angle the slats accordingly to produce a varied slot depth per slat. here's a rough not properly proportioned sketch of the idea. any thoughts?

You mean like this?? cheers john

holy geez!!!!! thats awesome. thanks for the reply if i were to take your standard design (via the SAE site and the others here) for a broadband low-mid trap. . .would altering the design to vary the slot depths in this fashion help me in any significant way? or is it basically the same? if it will help. . .and assuming the largest depth of my trap is 12". . . should the short side gap be 1/4" and the big gap be 1/2"??

well in this one the slot gaps are varying - varying the depth is also OK the slots here have a variable depth cheers john
