SOUND FIELD PARAMETER DESCRIPTIONS

REV. TIME (Reverberation time)

Function:

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 to 5.0 s

REV. LEVEL (Reverberation level)

Function:

Adjusts the volume of the reverberation sound.

Description:

The larger the value, the stronger the reverberation becomes.

Control range:

REV. DELAY (Reverberation delay)

Function:

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.
