Eric Desart's thread at John Sayers is rather enlightening...
But the essential takeaway, is that the width of the board, the thickness of the board, the distance of the spacing between boards and the depth of the cavity, are by definition, acting in concert as a Helmholtz Resonator.
Hope this helps clarify... |
Thanks for the link, I knew it was there somewhere, somehow I'd missed that!
I wasn't assuming that it would be for absorption, rather for getting more reflection back to the room. But what I didn't know is that placing boards in front of a trap would alter it's "trapping" properties, but which should have been somewhat obvious with all the talk about panel resonators etc..
I'm doing some planning for our live room and thought that some wood boards in front of traps would be the way to get some liveliness back to the room, not to mention look nice.. Apparently, I have more reading to do!
