Abstract: A review is made of psychoacoustic and audience-opinion information of recent and older sources from which criteria for studio design are drawn. New criteria are proposed for reverberation time for studios and auditoriums used for speech, music and general purposes. Examples of three types of existing studios that need revision are discussed. Their physical properties and acoustic data are presented and the manner in which they do not meet the criteria is discussed. Various alternatives for adapting these studios to meet the criteria are presented. Emphasis is placed on achieving the desired results with a minimum outlay of money.
