How is RT60 measured? In order to measure RT60, the room must first be energized with noise. This can be done by popping a balloon or using a dodecahedral speaker or other sound source. A sound level meter with special room acoustics options measures the time for the sound level to decay and reports the result.

How is RT60 calculated?
The formula is RT60 = k*(V/Sa). In this formula, k is a constant that equals 0.161 when the units of measurement are metric (in meters for our use) and 0.049 when units are expressed in feet. Measurements are to the closest whole meter or foot for most purposes, though you may enter decimal values.
How do you calculate impulse response from RT60?
RT60 Calculation
The RT60 values are estimated by calculating the slope of the Schroeder curve, which is a plot of the energy (squared values) of the impulse response that is backwards integrated (summed starting from the end and moving backwards). The vertical axis of the plot is in dB.
How do you measure reverberation?
Reverberation Time can be measured using either Impulsive Excitation (Schroeder method), such as from a pistol or balloon burst or by using Interrupted Noise, with the built-in noise generator.
