RT60
The RT-60 analysis display uses the ByTime history to cal-
culate a room decay time. This time is calculated from the
cursor position to a point a number of dB down as set by the
“RT60 dB Down” setting and then extrapolated to a drop of
60 dB using a “Least Squares” slope calculation method.
The
u
up and
d
down arrow
keys move you to the next higher and
lower filter frequency. The
l
left
and
r
right arrow keys move you
to the previous and next ByTime
sample.
An auto-select routine will automatically locate the cursor to
be 5 dB below the maximum level. The auto-select is exe-
cuted on demand from the check menu and the first time the
RT-60 display is selected. There is a vertical line for the cur-
sor specifying the beginning of the measurement and a hori-
zontal line drawn at the dB down level.
If auto RT60 is set to “Yes”, the
auto-select routine will be performed
whenever a new filter is selected.
Auto-select also sets the horizontal zoom so that the whole
decay fits on screen.
