RT60 (Reverb Time Analyzing) The RT60 function of the PAA3 is easy enough to understand: it is basically the time it takes for a signal to drop 60 dB. Getting the average of many different RT60 calculations from around a room allows users to get an idea as to how much absorption or reflection of audio the room provides.

To get the average of RT60 measurements that calculations by pressing enter while the “ACxx” are stored in the PAA3, simply select AVG. Select (where xx equals the number of accumulated from memories 1 to 10 (memory slots with saved values) option is highlighted.
If the level is lower than 127 mV when measuring voltage, the PAA3 will show it in mV. If the level ATTENTION: This function is only available when is higher than 127mV, the data will be shown in for accoustic analysis.
ATTENTION: It is not recommended to calculate average of saved data with different weighting settings. The PAA3 will ignore the peak value when calculating the average, even if the peak value was activated.
Procedure: the human ear to sound over the audible frequency Go to the SETTING menu, and proceed onto range. The PAA3 comes with both A-weighting and the LEVEL RANGE menu. C-weighting standardized by the ANSI (American Select an appropriate level range for your National Standards Institute).
