Really Big Corner Slot Resonator

Hey guys,

I am putting corner slot resonators in my studio and I have a question...what would happen if I made them very large?

John's design shows each "wall" of the corner being about 2'...I was considering designing mine to be 3'6".

Would the increased depth widen the effective frequencies?

Thanks,
Richard

Helmholtz resonators work on the the ratio of the volume and surface area of the hole to the volume of the cavity as a square root. If you increase the size of the cavity, as you described, then you will reduce the main absorption frequency (I KNOW I will get corrected on that wording!) by 70% for each doubling of the cavity volume.

I hope this helps.
