Studio A Reverb Time (RT60) in One-Octave Bands

 At Do No Harm Music, precision drives everything we do. Our recording space is paired with top-tier acoustic and electronic measurement systems from B&K, G.R.A.S., and Audio Precision, allowing us to quantify and shape the room’s performance. Using a dodecahedral speaker and octave-filtered pink noise, we measure and refine reverb characteristics across the audio spectrum. With adjustable absorber and diffuser panels, the Live Room can be tuned to match your music’s sonic intent—capturing its character naturally, rather than relying on artificial processing from plugins or outboard gear.


The table on the left shows the reverb time (RT60) where 85% of the Live Room walls are covered with acoustic treatment.  Treatment is easily removable which increases the reverb time providing a natural, spacious sound.

How Live Room Acoustics Gets Modified - Add, Remove, or Reposition Diffusers

85% Wall Coverage w/Diffusers

40% Wall Coverage w/Diffusers

The reverberation in the Live Room is 0.65 seconds when all 2' x 2' diffuser panels (131 in total) are placed on the four walls.  This covers close to 85% of the wall surfaces.  When all diffusers are removed, the reverb time is well over 3 seconds.  However, this condition is not recommended because of excessive slap-back echo.  


The panels weigh less than four pounds and can be easily repositioned or removed, allowing the room’s acoustics to be quickly tailored to each song’s sonic intent. This flexibility also enhances the creative process, as hearing music in different acoustic environments can inspire artistic choices that might not emerge in a conventional, fixed-acoustic settings.
