SOUND FIELD PROGRAM PARAMETER EDITING

LIVENESS

Function:

This parameter adjusts the reflectivity of the virtual walls in the hall by changing the rate at which the

 

early reflections decay.

Control range:

0 – 10

Description:

The early reflections of a sound source decay much faster in a room with acoustically absorbent wall

 

surfaces than in one which has highly reflective surfaces. A room with acoustically absorbent surfaces

 

is referred to as “dead,” while a room with highly reflective surfaces is referred to as “live”. The

 

“LIVENESS” parameter lets you adjust the early reflection decay rate, and thus the “liveness” of the

 

room.

field.

S.INIT.DLY (surround initial delay)

Function:

This parameter adjusts the delay between the direct sound and the first reflection on the surround side

 

of the sound field. You can only adjust this parameter when at least two front channels and two rear

 

channels are used.

Control range:

1 – 49 msec
