Re: Acoustic System Resonators Revisited

Hi Tubeguy

If you have the chance, try a couple observations.

Sound radiated from an acoustically small source falls off to 1 /4 the level each time you double the distance (following the inverse square law). Thus, if you were to walk up to one and listened carefully from 1 foot for ringing (the action of a resonator) and hear any, then you can figure how fast that sound will fall in level as you move back the listening position.

Also, it is likely the mfr would not recommend touching the resonator using some blather about changing its properties and dissipating the magic.
If the resonator is treated like a musical instrument or other resonator which can be touched by mortals, then stand blocking others view and see if anyone can tell when you touch it (killing all the resonance).

Best,

Tom
