In a lecture hall equipped with a reverb enhancement system, listeners matched three reverberation settings to a given reference as close as possible in terms of "amount of reverberation". While the resulting measured reverberation times and Gin f or Glate are different, C80 and a loudness based analysis of the impulse response yield better agreement: Loudness Early Decay Time EDTN as well as a summing of instantaneous loudness samples over the impulse response yield good results as predictors of reverberance whereas simplified EDTL, taking only into account the listening level, is not performing better than the ISO parameters.
