The perturbing effect of a waveguide on the boundary of a quasispherical cavity resonator is investigated both theoretically and experimentally. Expressions for the frequency perturbation to the triply-degenerate ${\rm TM}_{1mn}$ and ${\rm TE}_{1mn}$ modes are derived using cavity perturbation theory. The fields in and around the waveguide are calculated in the static limit using finite-element software. Experiments made using quasispherical and cylindrical cavity resonators confirm the accuracy and generality of the approach. The impact of this study on attempts to re-determine the Boltzmann constant $(\kb)$ by an acoustic resonance technique is considered.
