Tune of the selected mode:

Shows the tune of the selected mode, just like a guitar tuner. The hand indicates the 'exact' tune in cent (100 cent are 1 half tone).

Bolt-area:

The so called "Bolt-area" indicates a accumulation of good room ratios. If the red cross lies within this area you have a good chance of more evenly distributed modes.

Bonello (modes per third):

Shows the number of modes per third up to your chosen limit-frequency, beginning with the lowest mode. According to the "Bonello-criteria" this function should be strictly increasing to reach a good distribution of modes.

Hi :) Calculation time warning! close

You can

  • start the calculation anyway
  • close this dialog and change your
    • room dimension
    • reverberation time
    • lower/upper limit frequency for calculation
