Reverb Time
I am going through a remodel of my home and putting in wood flooring where
the carpeting used to be in the music room. It is way too live now, even with the two 10 x 17 throw rugs. Have you guys ever measured your reverb time in your homes or studios? What would be the range below which it is too dead and above which it is too live? I am reading that we need between 200 and 400 ms. Have you measured yours? Gary Eickmeier |

Once the Schoeder frequency gets above 500 Hz or so, the reverb falls off quickly enough that it's no longer easy to measure in any consistent fashion. And, it does not fall off with the same curve it does in larger rooms. In small rooms the main problem you're going to encounter is keeping the reverberation level uniform with frequency. May I strongly recommend to you F. Alton Everest's book on small studio acoustics? --scott -- "C'est un Nagra. C'est suisse, et tres, tres precis." |
