Reverberation time (RT60) is how long sound takes to decay by 60 dB in a room.

The math behind it

Sabine's formula: RT60 = 0.161·V ÷ A, with volume in m³ and total absorption in metric sabins.

Worked Example

200 m³ room with 30 sabins → about 1.07 s.

Frequently Asked Questions

What's a good RT60?

Speech rooms want short times (~0.5 s); concert halls prefer ~2 s.
