In addition, we will analyze the results obtained using the following formulas of the theories: Sabine, Eyring, and Arau*. The first two theories are designed for uniform distribution and the third theory was developed assuming the existence of no-uniform absorption in a room. We will compare the results of the calculated reverberation time RT with the three theories, Sabine, Eyring and Arau* and we also compare the results of the reverberation time of Arau* with the results of the EDT (Early Decay Time), always calculated also by Arau's theory, because the other theories don't calculate it.", }
