Abstract
Anechoic wedges are conventionally installed with the tapered point of the wedge pointing toward the test space and with the flat base of the wedge either against a rigid wall or separated from the wall by an air gap. A comparative investigation has been carried out in which the wedges were first conventionally oriented and then turned 180° so that the points of the wedges faced the wall. These comparative tests were performed in reverberation rooms both here and in Europe and also in two different impedance tubes. The results are extremely interesting. They tend to indicate that a “reversed” anechoic wedge can give a lower cutoff frequency than when conventionally oriented. Some possible explanations are offered for the measured performance.
