SOUND FIELD PARAMETER DESCRIPTIONS

Liveness (Liveness)

Function:

Adjusts the reflectivity of the virtual walls in the hall by changing the rate at which the early reflections

 

decay.

Description:

The early reflections of a source sound 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.

Control range:

0 to 10

Sur. Liveness (Surround liveness)

Function:

Adjusts the apparent reflectivity of the virtual walls in the surround sound field.

Control range:

0 to 10

Function:

Adjusts the delay between the direct sound and the first reflection in the surround back sound field.

Control range:

1 to 49 ms

SB. Room Size (Surround back room size)

Function:

Adjusts the apparent size of the surround back sound field.

Control range:

0.1 to 2.0
