1.0 Introduction
1.1 Definition of Acoustics
 
 
This involves the followingactivities:
a.a study of the shape of the room to controlechoes and to secure thebest distribution of sound;c.a study of the shape,design, and location of and an estimation of theamount of reflectivematerials in the room’senclosure to projectsound to the audience;e.a study of the amountand location of absorptivematerials in a room’senclosure to cause soundto die out in the optimumreverberation time.
RT = 0.16 V /∑A
Where V is room volume incubic meters∑A is the total absorption in theroom in METRIC SABINSRT is reverberation time insecondsa.the computation of theroom’s reverberationtime (RT)
