Schroeder frequency
The frequency above which a room behaves statistically rather than modally.
s
m³
- Schroeder frequency
- 178.885Hz
- Wavelength at that frequency
- 1.91863m
How it works
Below the Schroeder frequency, individual room modes dominate, so position matters. Above it, modes overlap and the sound field is considered diffuse. Small, dry rooms have a high Schroeder frequency, which is why bass treatment is hard.
Formulas
- f_S ≈ 2000 · √( RT60 / V )
