The Eyring and Sabine formulas that EASE
and EASE JR use to calculate the rooms RT times are a single
set of RT times for the room and don't reveal the differences
in RT times that prevail in an actual room. The formulas are
also generalized that aren't accurate for every room. For
example, they assume the room's absorption material is distributed
homogeneously on the room's surfaces, a condition that doesn't
exist in many rooms.
Local Decay Times, an EASE feature, provides a quick check
on the accuracy of the formulas as well as providing RT times
for specific locations within the room. It uses an omni-directional
source to distribute rays throughout room and calculates the
RT times for pre-selected locations within the room from the
ray's decay times. The result is RT times that are more "real
life" figures.
