Hi all
I've always believed that reverb time , or RT60 as we call it, is the time that a musical note takes to diminish below 60db in volume, from the original note. In smaller rooms like mine it is RT30.
Then I saw the below video on darko audio today, where he states that the reverb time, is the time lapse after which the original note reflects and returns to the listening position to interfere with the direct sound, causing comb filtering. Iam pretty convinced iam right. But considering that darko is a well respected reviewer, I thought I'd give him the benefit of doubt, just incase iam wrong. Thanks in advance for any clarifications.
