RT Calculation Tool

The purpose of this RT Calculation Tool is to give an approximate idea of the quantity of Vicoustic products needed, in order to achieve a target Reverberation Time (RT) within a certain room.

Please note that the Calculation Tool provides only an estimate of results. For a more detailed analysis, please request a project to our team of acoustic experts.

1. Measurement Units

Meters (m)

Feet (ft)

2. Room Dimensions

Length (m)

Width (m)

Height (m)

The calculation model assumes regular-shaped volumes. No dimension should be 5 times bigger or smaller than any other dimension.

Is the room furnished?

Yes

The room is considered to be furnished, when the objects inside occupy more than 10% of the room's volume.

3. Room finishes

Select the rooms ceiling, walls and floor finishes.

Ceiling finish

Walls finish

Floor finish

4. Target RT (Type of room)

Select the room type or manually insert desired RT values

About RT Calculation Tool

This Calculation Tool is based on the classic Reverberation Time equation by Eyring.
One must always take into account project layout and space constraints, in order to guarantee that the suggested amount of panels can be included in the room.
The calculation model used in this Tool considers the acoustic treatment to be evenly distributed by all surfaces.
If any suspended or free-standing elements are used, one must ensure that the room has enough space to accommodate them (e.g. enough space on the ceiling and/or floor area)
The RT targets are meant to be used as a point of reference for the ideal case-scenario. In many cases, it may not be possible to achieve RT values in-line with these targets, but still likely achieve very significant improvements.
