Abstract
Acoustics Analysis:
1: RT60 Calculations: Use an RT60 calculator to predict the reverb time of a real room. Measure the actual time and compare the results.
2. Acoustic Treatment. Take RT60 measurements in a space before and after basic acoustic treatment and explain how the treatment is affecting the acoustics.
3. Room Modes Predict the positions of standing waves and room modes in a room and test your predictions with measurements.
