Execution

When you purchase a Reverberation Measurement RT60, our expert visits you to carry out the measurement. We schedule this by phone or email. Via the quote request you can indicate which dates suit you best. Afterwards you receive an easy-to-understand report on this acoustic survey.

A reverberation measurement RT60 is an acoustic measurement that determines how long it takes for a sound to die out. Specifically, it maps out how many seconds it takes for sound to become 60 decibels quieter. By carrying out a reverberation measurement, we can determine exactly how much absorbing material is needed to solve your acoustic problem. This gives you certainty that you won't purchase unnecessary materials. If, after the measurement, you decide to purchase the required materials or products from us, the cost of the measurement is furthermore deducted from the total cost!

To carry out the measurement we use calibrated equipment that meets applicable Class 1 standards.

Reverberation Measurement RT60

The RT60 (reverberation time) is one of the most important acoustic properties of a space. Establishing the RT60 is essential when assessing spaces, open-plan offices, classrooms, restaurants and other hospitality venues, etc. A space's reverberation time is the time a sound needs to become 60 dB quieter. This is also what we experience as a sound's decay time. We apply the ISO3382 standard (parts 1–3) when measuring and reporting the RT60, using Class 1 certified measuring equipment and sound sources.

The source for the measurement can be a starting pistol or an omnidirectional speaker. The latter radiates equal sound energy in all directions. This 360-degree speaker (also called a dodecahedron) delivers the best measurement results.

The measurement results in a wealth of information, giving a complete picture of a space's acoustic fingerprint. This allows us to calculate the right solution very precisely.
