 Ideal Reverberation Time (for Lectures)

“T60 reverberation times should also be < 0.5 seconds in

lecture halls and/or classrooms, in order to avoid speech
interference problems, particularly in the speech
intelligibility range of 500 – 4000 Hz”

Conclusion

 To achieve the optimal reverberation for lecture purposes, the materials of the
room needs to be less absorbent (if the overall shape and volume is unchanged)
 The reverberation time of rooms that are used for speech/lecture are generally
very short, because its purpose is to increase the articulation of anyone who is
speaking. Although this does not fit to be used for music
