What's the optimum RT60 for a room?
- RT60 < 1 s: Good for classrooms.
- RT60 = 1 s: Good for speaking: articulation of speech is clear. ...
- RT60= 1.5 s to 2.5 s: A good compromise if the room is to be used for both speaking and music.
- RT60 = 3.5 s: Better for music, but some loss of articulation.

What is a good RT60 for a control room?
So what is a good RT60 for a control room or a recording room? Well, there isn't just one answer for the latter (drums tend to sound good in large rooms) but for your control room, about 0,3 seconds seems to be agreed upon as a good number.
What is a good reverberation time?
What is a desirable reverberation time? The optimum reverberation time for an auditorium or room of course depends upon its intended use. Around 2 seconds is desirable for a medium-sized, general purpose auditorium that is to be used for both speech and music. A classroom should be much shorter, less than a second.
What is reverberation time RT60?
Reverberation time, or RT60, is a metric which describes the length of time taken for a sound to decay by 60 dB from its original level. Optimal reverberation times vary depending on room volume, intended use of the space and the frequency of transmitted sound.
How to calculate RT 60?
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.
