Delay time

The sound heard in a place such as a concert hall or a movie theater consists of the direct sound that reaches our ears directly from the sound source and the reflected sound that is indirectly reflected off from walls, floor and ceilling. The reflected sound reaches our ears slightly later than the direct sound. The delay time is the time difference between the direct sound and the reflected sound. The optimum delay time will be different according to the room size and the acoustic properties. It is recommended that you try different times to obtain the best effect.
