SOUND FIELD PARAMETER DESCRIPTIONS

REV.TIME (Reverberation time)

Function:

This parameter adjusts the amount of time it takes for the dense, subsequent reverberation sound to

 

decay by 60 dB (at 1 kHz). This changes the apparent size of the acoustic environment over an

 

extremely wide range.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Description:

The longer the reverberation time, the more “live” the listening room environment seems. The shorter

 

the reverberation time, the more “dead” the listening room environment seems.

Control Range:

1.0 – 5.0 sec

Small value = 1.0 s

REV.DELAY (Reverberation delay)

Function:

This parameter adjusts the time difference between the beginning of the direct sound and the beginning

 

of the reverberation sound.

Description:

The larger the value, the later the reverberation sound begins. A later reverberation sound makes you

 

feel like you are in a larger acoustic environment.

Control Range:

0 – 250 msec

REV. LEVEL (Reverberation level)

Function:

This parameter adjusts the volume of the reverberation sound.

Description:

The larger the value, the stronger the reverberation becomes.
