  2. Reverberation - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Reverberation

    Reverberation time is a measure of the time required for the sound to "fade away" in an enclosed area after the source of the sound has stopped. When it comes to accurately measuring reverberation time with a meter, the term T 60 [6] (an abbreviation for reverberation time 60 dB) is used. T 60 provides

  3. Diffuse field acoustic testing - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Diffuse_field_acoustic_testing

    Summing up these contributions, a reverberant pressure field is created. The more reverberation, the more the field is diffused. Two oft-used measures of reverberation time quantify this parameter, : and . These values are the interval for the sound pressure level to the lower of 30 or 60 dBSPL. It can be obtained by measuring the sound ...

  4. Geometrical acoustics - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Geometrical_acoustics

    For example, in architectural acoustics the rectilinear trajectories of sound rays make it possible to determine reverberation time in a very simple way. The operation of fathometers and hydrolocators is based on measurements of the time required for sound rays to travel to a reflecting object and back. The ray concept is used in designing ...

  5. Architectural acoustics - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Architectural_acoustics

    Excessive reverberation time, which can be calculated, can lead to poor speech intelligibility. Ceiling of Culture Palace (Tel Aviv) concert hall is covered with perforated metal panels. Sound reflections create standing waves that produce natural resonances that can be heard as a pleasant sensation or an annoying one. [6]

  6. Room acoustics - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Room_acoustics

    The most appropriate reverberation time depends on the use of the room. RT60 is a measure of reverberation time. [9] Times about 1.5 to 2 seconds are needed for opera theaters and concert halls. For broadcasting and recording studios and conference rooms, values under one second are frequently used. The recommended reverberation time is always ...

  7. Sound level meter - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sound_level_meter

    Some advanced sound level meters can also include reverberation time (RT60) (a measure of the time required for the sound to "fade away" in an enclosed area after the source of the sound has stopped) measurement capabilities. Measurements can be done using the integrated impulse response or interrupted noise methods.

  8. Critical distance - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Critical_distance

    In a reverberant space, the sound perceived by a listener is a combination of direct and reverberant sound. The ratio of direct sound is dependent on the distance between the source and the listener, and upon the reverberation time in [the room]. At a certain distance the two will be equal. This is called the "critical distance."

  9. Acoustic enhancement - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Acoustic_enhancement

    Acoustic enhancement is a subtle type of sound reinforcement system used to augment direct, reflected, or reverberant sound. While sound reinforcement systems are usually used to increase the sound level of the sound source (like a person speaking into a microphone, or musical instruments in a pop ensemble), acoustic enhancement systems are typically used to increase the acoustic energy in the ...
