Sorry, but that is incorrect. But you KEEP repeating this over and over.

There are quite ingenious ways to create an ISD in a room whose natural decay seems to preclude this, and this has been done for over 30 years now.

But its always refreshing to read the comments of one who does not understand this, and who mistakenly keeps saying that Davis maintains that small acoustical spaces begin at 2000 ft^3, provide a erroneous critique.

What's even funnier, if you were aware of what your comments imply, is that you are saying the work of not only Heyser, Davis Patronis, and MANY more Very qualified folks are incorrect, but that other developers of the concept whose names you might recognize, such as Berger and D'Antonnio, are wrong too.

Peacock-like flashing of such resources is hardly good form or even manners in the context of this forum.

Its amazing, but not surprising, that one who is not only not familiar with the meaning of this 'technobable' and process is also unaware of why and how it is used.

Peacock flashing????? LMAO!

Let's see, TEF was not only the first, but it has been around now for over 30 years...subsequently joined by several other industry norms such as EASERA. This technique has been mature for almost as long - begun in the late 1970's and mature at least since 1984 when QRD diffusion was introduced.


But by all means keep clapping. It is always appropriate for one to function at a level where you are able to understand the tools which one employs. And in the same spirit, one might also question and wonder as to what the true necessity of a handkerchief is.

If anyone else is seriously interested and PM's me, I can provide source material from a few VERY prominent practitioners that will dispel the ignorant nonsense of a few that this process is not valid and is in fact a de facto norm in professional analysis. The supreme irony is that this knowledge goes back to at least 1984. And I can even provide documentation that shows Alton Everest and his wife in attendance at one of the very workshops.
