Robert Harleys RT60 equation does not work


After reading "The complete guide to Home Theater" by Robert Harley I have noticed quite a few discrepencies. After carefully plotting in all square footages and using his equation on page 113 I got RT60 times of 0.001476 to 0.001292. I have a 6460 cubic foot room (34x19x10). All surfaces were drywall except for the floor which was carpet. How is this possible in a room of this size??

Yeah, you screwed up the equation somehow. You might have messed up the Sabines/Absorbtion Co-efficient thing likely. The "Sa" part of the equation is better described in F.Alton Everest Master Handbook of Acousics. It works perfect for me every time basically.
