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. Would likely be difficult to understand speech.

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 a good reverberation time for meeting room?
The General Services Administration's Sound Matters recommends RT60 of 0.6 seconds for meeting rooms.
Which RT60 would be best for a studio 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.

Setting the Standard
The standards are quite simple in their criteria, requiring a reverberation time of not more than 0.6 seconds at the mid-speech frequencies of 250, 500, and 1,000 Hertz in typical classrooms up to 10,000 cubic feet and 0.7 seconds for classrooms up to 20,000 cubic feet.
