I think that the lower absorption at 125 is a resoult of the lost of linearity cause of the air gap and that at lower frq there would be more absorption.
By the other hand I was surpriced of the 703 6" mounted on the wall, looks like really near a full band absorber I'm gonna try them for early reflection points! |
From data souirces that I trust, gapping up to around 2:1 provides good, as in flat increase in low end absorption. A 16" gap means a 4:1 ratio.
Yes, 6" of 703 is pretty good. 4" with a 2" will provide similar results. In my part of world, f you have 6" available for depth, ~6" of Roxul Safe N Sound or similar product will provide the same acoustic performance at a fraction of cost.
