Sound pattern produced by a sounding source or sources in a given environment due to direct and reflected sounds and the acoustics of the environment. The receiver offers
Surround sound
Sound that consists of three elements: direct sound, early reflected sound (early reflections) and reverberative sound (reverberation). The acoustics where you hear the sound affect the way these three sound elements are heard. These sound elements are combined in such a way that you can actually feel the size and the type of a concert hall.
