Example 2: Corridor	In this example, consider a standard office corridor with the following specifications:
	•	Dimensions =	100’ L x 12’ W x10’ H
	•	Flooring =	Tile
	•	Ceiling =	Acoustic Tile
	•	Walls =	Gypsum over 2” x 4”, (16” on center)
	•	Ambient Noise =	60 dB

Figure 6-5. Corridor Design Example

The following basic results are attained from the iTool:

•The iTool reverberation time calculator estimates a reasonable T60 time of 0.7 seconds.

•Using wall mount speakers in an Edge-to-Edge pattern, the resulting total number of speakers is 5 tapped at 0.25 W, for a total of 1.25 W of audio power required.
