Thank you for purchasing the permanent Room Acoustics Option or the annual Room Acoustics
Reporter 365 license for the XL2 Sound Level Meter. This enables the import of the measurement
data into the Room Acoustics Reporter PC-software. The Room Acoustics Reporter is a PC-based
software application that reports reverberation time and noise spectrum measurements.
Designed for room acoustic experts, this comprehensive tool uses data gathered by the XL2 Sound
Level Meter, and quickly returns graphical analysis of all measurement positions. Analyzing the measurement data and producing reports is straight-forward using the Room Acoustics Reporter software. Just drag & drop the XL2 measurement data into the software and print the report.

3. Measurement with XL2
Mapping File for XL2
The measurement task onsite is made up by multiple individual measurements. The XL2 Sound
Level Meter may assign each of these measurements with a dedicated mapping, e.g. “T1” for the
readings taken before adding absorption material in a room and “T2” afterwards. This feature supports automated post-processing and reporting in the Room Acoustics Reporter software.
Load the text file “savenames.txt” with the user defined mapping, such as “T1, “T2”,..., into the •
root directory of the XL2. The text file “savenames.txt” may be generated by the Room Acoustics Reporter software:

9. Simulation - Optimizing Room Acoustics
Theory
The reverberation time in rooms can be reduced with additional acoustic absorbers in the room;
such absorbers are e.g. a fabric couch, a carpet, an acoustic picture or a special ceiling plaster. A
reduced reverberation time also leads to a reduction in the sound level in the room.
The Room Acoustics Reporter software can be used to simulate the effects of additional acoustic
absorbers installed in the room. The software calculates the expected reduced reverberation time T
and the resulting sound pressure level change in the room. In addition, the A / V ratio and the mean
sound absorption coefficient in the room are presented.
The standard simulation is carried out using Sabine’s formula in accordance with the DIN EN 12354-6:
2004 standard. The Sabine‘ formula was developed by the physicist Wallace Clement Sabine (1868-
1919).
0.16 * V 0.16 * V
T = ----------------- = ------------------
A S * a
room
with
T ... reverberation time [s]
V ... net volume of the room [m3]
A ... total or energy equivalent absorption area in the room [m2]
S ... sum of floor, wall and ceiling area [m2]
a
... mean sound absorption coefficient of the room, without unit
room
Room Acoustics Reporter calculates the mean sound absorption coefficient in the room a
room
based
on the measured reverberation time T1. For simplicity, possible sound absorption in the air and a reduced volume due to objects in the room are not taken into account. The sound velocity is assumed
to be 345.6 m / s in accordance with the standard DIN EN 12354-6: 2004, so that the factor 0.16 can
be used in Sabine’s formula.
The software simulates the effect of additional sound-absorbing materials, objects or people in the
room. This allows to take the necessary measures for improved audibility in accordance with the
specified tolerances. The absorbers are taken into account with the following formula:
... mean sound absorption coefficient of the room, without unit
room
ai ... sound absorption coefficient of absorber i, without unit
Aobjj ... absorption area of object j [m2]
Example 1
A rectangular room is 8 m long, 7 m wide and 3 m high. This results in a floor area of 56 m2, a total
surface of 202 m2 and a room volume of 168 m3. The measured reverberation time at 1 kHz is 2
seconds. An acoustic ceiling with an area of 56 m2 and a sound absorption coefficient of 0.8 at 1
kHz is placed in the room.
a
room
0.16 * V 0.16 * 168
= ----------------- = -------------------- = 0.07
S * T 202 * 2
The software now replaces an area of 56 m2 with the mean sound absorption coefficient of the
room against the acoustic ceiling with a sound absorption coefficient of 0.8.
Continuing with example 1, the sound absorption coefficient of the ceiling, wall and floor is mostly
different, so the accuracy of the simulation can be increased by removing the area of 56 m2 with the
actual sound absorption coefficient of the raw ceiling, e.g. 0.03 for concrete, and the 56 m2 acoustic
ceiling is added.
In practice, Sabine’s formula is used to optimize room acoustics. This formula is based on the following assumptions:
diffuse field in space•
evenly distributed absorbent surfaces in the room; In the case of opposing surfaces, the sound •
absorption coefficient should maximum differ by a factor of 3
typical shoe box shape with dimensions with a maximum ratio of 1: 5 to each other•
not too many objects in the room; they may take up a maximum of 20% of the room volume•
If these requirements are not met, the real reverberation time is often longer than the simulated
reverberation time.
For applications with an average sound absorption coefficient greater than 0.30, the Sabine’s formula
results in a longer reverberation times than actual. Therefore, in Room Acoustics Reporter you can
alternatively select the formula of Eyring (1930), which provides the recommended and more representative reverberation time for an absorption coefficient > 0.30.
0.16 * V
T = --------------------------
-S * ln(1 - a
room
)
with
T ... reverberation time [s]
V ... net volume of the room [m3]
S ... sum of floor, wall and ceiling area [m2]
a
... mean sound absorption coefficient of the room, without unit
room
Example 3
The calculation is carried out using the same information as in Example 1 - but using Eyring’s formula. A rectangular room is 8 m long, 7 m wide and 3 m high. This results in a floor area of 56 m2,
a total surface of 202 m2 and a room volume of 168 m3. The measured reverberation time at 1 kHz
is 2 seconds. An acoustic ceiling with an area of 56 m2 and a sound absorption coefficient of 0.8 at
1 kHz is placed in the room.
0.16 * 168
a
with acoustic sealing
= 1 - e^( -------------------- ) = 0.06
-
202 * 2
The software now replaces an area of 56 m2 with the mean sound absorption coefficient of the
room against the acoustic ceiling with a sound absorption coefficient of 0.8.
Continuing with example 3, the sound absorption coefficient of the ceiling, wall and floor is mostly
different, so the accuracy of the simulation can be increased by using an area of 25 m2 with the
actual sound absorption coefficient of the raw ceiling, e.g. 0.03 for concrete, removedand the 25 m2
carpet added.
The room becomes quieter with a reduced reverberation time - the direct sound component remains
unaffected, but the sound reflections from the room boundary surfaces are reduced. This results in
a lower sound pressure level. The Room Acoustics Reporter software shows the expected change
in sound level; this is calculated from the following formula

ANSI/ASA S12.2-2008 - Noice criteria curves NC
The standard ANSI/ASA S12.2-2008 specifies a method how to quantify a background noise level
in a room or other environment as a single value. The NC rating of a spectrum is designated as the
value of the lowest NC curve above the measured octave-band spectrum. The designating number
for any NC curve is, approximately, its Speech Interference Level (SIL): the average of the levels in
the 500, 1000, 2000 and 4000 Hz octave bands. SIL is a simple metric, which measures the effects
of noise on speech intelligibility.

ANSI/ASA S12.2-2008 - Room noice criterion RNC
The standard ANSI/ASA S12.2-2008 specifies a method how to quantify a background noise level
in a room or other environment as a single value. The RNC method is used to determine noise ratings when the noise from HVAC systems at low frequencies is high, and which is also suspected
of containing sizeable fluctuations or surging. It essentially represents a rumble criterion. The RNC
curves also provide a procedure that reduces the result essentially back to the NC curves when
systems are well designed and acoustically well-behaved. Following the RNC specification, the XL2
measures the octave-band sound pressure level every 100 ms, followed by processing to determine
the applicable room noise criterion (RNC) curve.

DIN 15996:2008 - Grenzkurven GK
The standard DIN 15996:2008 specifies a method for the qualification of background noise as a single
value in studios and processing rooms for radio and television. During the production, assessment
and processing of sound events, certain acoustic conditions in the rooms provided for this must be
observed. An important criterion is the background noise level. Continuous noises occurs when the
studio systems are switched on. Typical continuous noise sources are the background noise caused
by the air conditioning system or other technical devices installed in the room.

ISO R 1996-1971 - Noise rating curves NR
The standard ISO R 1996-1971 specifies a method how to quantify a background noise level in a
room or other environment as a single value. Noise rating (NR) is a graphical method for assigning a
single number rating to a noise spectrum. It can be used to specify the maximum acceptable level in
each octave band of a frequency spectrum, or to assess the acceptability of a noise spectrum for a
particular application. The method was originally proposed for use in assessing environmental noise,
but it is now used frequently for describing noise from mechanical ventilation systems in buildings.
To make a rating, the measured noise spectrum is superimposed on a family of NR contours; the
NR of the spectrum corresponds to the value of the first NR contour that is entirely above the spectrum.

ASR A3.7 - Working Place
The Technical Rules for Workplaces (ASR) represent the state of the art for setting up and operating
workplaces in Germany. The ASR A3.7 specifies the requirements for reducing the sound pressure
level at workplaces.
The “Room Acoustics Reporter” software compares the measured reverberation time at workplaces with the limit values specified in ASR A3.7; these limit values depend on the type of workplace
and, in the case of educational institutions, also on the room volume. The corresponding selection
can be made by the “Usage Type” in the software.

This German standard specifies the minimum acoustic quality of a room for a good speech intelligiblity. It applies for rooms with a volume up to about 5’000 m3 and specifies room acoustic requriements and recommendations to ensure audibility. Sport halls and indoor swimming pools are supported up to 30’000 m3. The standard differentiates between the following two room groups:
Group A•
rooms with acoustic quality over medium and long distances the acoustic quality is ensured by suitably adapting the reverberation time according to the -
specified tolerance band
typical rooms are e.g. classrooms in schools, group rooms in child day-care centres, conference -
rooms, court rooms, seminar rooms, lecture theatres, conference rooms, sport halls or indoor
swimming pools
Group B •
rooms with acoustic quality over smaller distances the acoustic quality is achieved by sound absorption and noise reduction according to the -
specified tolerance
people spend just a short period in these rooms typical rooms are e.g. dining spaces, canteen, play hallways, changing areas in schools, exhibi- -
tion rooms, entrance halls, offices or service counter areas
