Instructions

Enter data into green cells

Lp(sig) is spatially averaged diffuse field level in source or receiving room
Lp(noise) is background noise level in receiving room
T is reverberation time in receiving room

Adjust the STC, Rw, Dnw and DnTw values until the criteria for sum of deficiencies are met
