In Reply to: Perfect / Recommended RT60 for studio control rooms? posted by shakeelrazauk@yahoo.com on November 23, 2004 at 07:14:19:
Raza,> i am am currently calculating the best RT60 times
possible for a control room which is 7m x 4.5m x 3.5m ... i have found that for the lower frequencies RT can be a little higher <RT60 is not as useful as you might think for small rooms. At mid and high frequencies simple echoes dominate the top 20 dB or so, and anything below that is not so important. And at low frequencies RT60 is meaningless in a small room. What really matters there is "modal ringing," which refers to the decay time at the individual mode frequencies.
This does not mean you don't need to treat a small room! Small rooms need acoustic treatment, and especially bass trapping, even more than large rooms. But curtains are not an appropriate material because they absorb only higher frequencies. What's really needed in all small rooms is broadband absorption that's effective to as low a frequency as possible.
