Logarithms in any base can be computed using natural logarithms.

Evidence

Unfortunately, Equation A4.7 requires that we take a logarithm to the base (1 − α)! However, we can get around this by remembering that this can be calculated using natural logarithms as: APPENDIX 4: Deriving the Reverberation Time Equation 481 Equation A4. — David M.
